How to make sushi video tutorial.

(Though this is cone style sushi instead of a roll. As a plus, it has a poodle.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You seal the ends of the wrapper with rice vinegar (I think - it's been a while)

Water.

The most important thing is using a really sharp clean knife to slice it -- the knife gets gummed up after just a few cuts, and if it's dull, you crush rather than slicing. Other than that, it's easy and you get the feel of it after just a few rolls. Rolling a joint is much harder to get right, IME, and there are happy cheery how-to-roll-maki tutorials all over the intarwebs.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

The key to home made sushi? A really, really sharp knife, and a towel soaked in hot water. That sticky rice makes clean neat slicing a challenge! I like to marinate some carrots in rice vinegar, water, and a little sugar for a couple hours beforehand. So very nom. Mmmmm, now i want sushi!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I am getting all interested in making home-made sushi now!

You realise this means I will whine at The Girl to make it, on account of how I'm not allowed near kitchen utensils, yes?

Mmm. I could get some really good salmon. We live near an actual fishmonger...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yesterday I played Texas Hold 'Em with my new neighbors. I hadn't played in years. I was this close to losing all my chips after a few rounds, but I had one big, lucky win, and from then on, I cleaned up. I had little idea what I was doing, but hey, it was fun.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Good to hear it's a good place. I know nothing about American hospitals/clinics, but I know they used to live in Houston and they go back for their medical treatment because they consider it the best in the world.

Definitely. Ranked #1 in cancer care in the U.S.

I did a research program there the summer before college. I studied XIAP and ERK2 as predictors of survival in chronic myelogenous leukemia.

aHA! I think that this was my main issue when I made it. They weren't round or clean, and it distressed me.
