So, i was feeling like cutting things. I got a couple boards and big sharp knife.

How about raw fish? Yeah, now we're talkin.

I invited my sushi makin partner in crime, Zsofi, as well as Laci and a mystery guest to come have sushi night chez moi.

Sake set ready and waiting.

Here we are trying to make oil measurements ghetto style by marking the side of the bottle with a pen. Yeah, i know, if i had a measuring cup at my house it could make things so much easier. But really, who wants easy?

Seaweed in place.

The first rice dump. Zsofi's mom was kind enough to prepare the rice for us beforehand. So all that was left for us to do was the glamour work, ain't that sweet?

'ready let's roll onto to something new'

Voila!

A bit later Laci arrives and we threaten him with the large blade. "you gonna learn how to roll or else!"

So the lesson begins

Extreme concentration underway

With tender loving care, zsofi demonstrates

And i'm all too happy to pose with the results

Sushis in waiting. All they need is a place to sit.

I went to work on the table set up.

If you have a better vision of what heaven looks like, please let me know what it is because i will join you there.

The kids settle in for some good eatin!

The mystery guest snaps a shot.

Mmm, yummm, yummm, mmmmm, aargh ammmmm

Result: thumbs up all around.

Time sit back and relax for a little while

And watch my hamster try to get involved.

At this point we had to knock back a little booze to digest. Remember michael was in town the previous weekend from the UK? Ja, so everytime he comes of course he has to bring my favorite ghetto-cider, strongbow. It goes down so smoothly with sake, er...

The shots go down

Gulp

We later wandered out for a little szimpla kerting before calling it a night

Hooray for sushi with zsofika!

Zola popped by at that point with his (brand new) laptop in tow. It's amazing how when a person has something new they wanna take it everywhere. Zola, you never took it into the toilet with you... did you? are you sure not? ;)

In this case we got treated to a transylvanian slideshow before calling it a night.
