Chopsticks and Soup Bowls

On Saturday, the iphone rang and fiance asked me out on a hot date for that evening. He had the sweetest idea to hit up the Ranch Market by mi casa for a little japanese inspired sushi date. I came over (after a 3 hour Saturday nap) and we made our way over to the store. We wandered the aisles and picked up everything we needed including sushi mats and immitation crab. He had to drag me out of the kitchen aisle kicking and screaming while I begged him for authentic chopsticks, Japanese soup bowls and spoons for our future apartment. Come on, doesn't that sound dreamy? We could have been sitting on pillows on the floor eating out of our soup bowls. Anyway, I wasn't successful on that pitch. Moving on!

We got back to Mr. Nielsen's bachelor pad and started our sushi fun.

All of the ingredients for California Rolls, Sushi Mat and Seaweed, Miso Soup and Wasabi!

Sushi was much easier to make then we originally thought. We boiled our rice and added the proper ingredients, rolled everything up, and were amazed at how pro we were.

Our finished product..California Rolls!

Pretty sure on the way home from the Ranch Market, I said to Tan that I never knew I would find my soulmate, a man who would ask me out to make sushi in his kitchen. He is the best. Now can we go pleeease go buy those soup bowls and pillows to sit on? Arigatou Gozaimasu!
