Before having kids, I was obsessed with sushi and we ate it at least once a week. Then I got pregnant with our first child and I was totally repulsed by the thought of it, which was fine because I couldn’t really eat it anyway. But, the feel lasted, and lasted, and lasted. It has only be in the last year (almost 6 years later) that I’ve gotten the sushi bug back. Phew. So, now that I’m back on the sushi wagon, I’ve been wanting to start making some at home and I think it would be a perfect date night in. Jim’s not one to help out in the kitchen but I can totally imagine him getting his precise engineer self on while rolling up some yummy new rolls. Here’s what I’m thinking…
1. I’m not a huge fan of sake but I do love me some Japanese beer.
2. Sushi – duh, you need sushi for a sushi date night. Salmon rolls are my faves.
3. Since I’ve never made sushi before, this beautifully photographed and basic sushi cookbook will be perfect to help guide us through the process.
4. Aren’t these chopsticks and stands awesome? I love the little fish and the colors. Perfection.
5. I love this marble serving tray from CB2. Our sushi rolls will look beautiful on it!
6. A bamboo rolling mat is so inexpensive and easy to find at your grocery store or kitchen supply store. It doesn’t need to be fancy.
A Feteful Life
