The Gift That Keeps On Giving

On Friday, I finally got my Christmas gift from Scott. But not without the usual chaos, of course. The gift required me to book a babysitter. So, when she hadn't arrived, and it was past time for us to leave, I called to check on her, only to discover that she had gotten the days mixed up and wasn't on her way over, but was still sitting at home watching Battlestar Galactica. She was, miraculously, available to come over, but I would have to drive to get her and bring her back to our house, and, as I said, it was already time for us to leave. But, all's well that ends well, right? We somehow made it to our destination on time. Not a minute to spare, but on time nonetheless.

The gift itself was a Beginner Sushi Bar course at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City. It was so much fun! We loved it! We were with some fun people and we laughed all night. And we actually made some sushi rolls that tasted great. They didn't always look as good as they tasted, but if you don't mind eating your sushi taco style (Scott couldn't quite master the art of getting the roll to close), then we can now whip some up for you. And, for those of you who still insist that you don't like sushi, you don't know what you're missing!
