Sushi Night

One of my favorite things to do is get together with my kids and grandkids. Life is NEVER boring with my group. Last night, we celebrated two birthdays, Nathan and Emily. We made sushi and had dragoons, lemon poppy seed cake, and no bake cookies. We played a Monte Python card game and was I ever lost with all of the jokes and cards! I was still able to follow the rules and play the game. During the sushi making part of the evening things were really interesting. My son Scotty made a mac and cheese sushi for his daughter Marissa. It was fun to watch her face when she found out how to eat it. Scotty put a dollop of ketchup on top of each roll and told her to put it all in her mouth and chew. Marissa looked at him skeptically and said, "I even have to eat the paper! No way!" Then, her father put one in his mouth and chewed. She ate her plain mac and cheese. Sushi is a family favorite for most of us. There are a few dissenters. I discovered a tutorial on YouTube that shows how to make California rolls and other types of sushi. I taught the kids and now everyone makes their own when we have a sushi night. We talk and eat and laugh. Lots of fun and teasing going on in this house! Life is definitely good.
