Sushi Anyone?

Like most of the things I attempt in life (including my latest craze- weightloss), I try and try again until I get it right and then the most amazing thing is that I don't make it anymore! Hope I won't give up on my weightloss journey just like everything else.

Anyway, coming back to the topic, here is a picture of sushi I made a few days ago. I made it again today but did not take pictures of it. I make the California roll with roasted sesame seeds on one side of it. I have improved since the last time in that I do get defined ridges/edges on the roll now. Since I am a vegetarian I enjoy eating the vegetarian sushi I make with yummy avocados, cucumbers and carrots in it. The little cup in the middle has the wasabi swirl (very aesthetically arranged indeed if I should say so myself!).

A word about Wasabi here: Wasabi is horse radish- the same kind which when you taste, feels like something just exploded in your nose and brain and everywhere else in between all at the same time. A good treatment for sinus pain I will say - you forget your sinus pain for several minutes after eating some horse radish because a pinch of it (almost a lethal dose according to me) makes you forget everything else! But wasabi is a good thing . It gives sushi a good spicy flavor and taste and is yummy on green peas which I get from the Chinese store.

Thanks Susan! Next time I think I should try just one vegetable in one roll. Just carrots or avacado or cucumber. Must be good that way too.
