Little pleasures

One of the cooler things about working here at the new institution is the opportunity to take five classes a year free in the school of continuing studies. They have a culinary arts program and I love to cook, so I'm working on my culinary arts certificate now. Last night was the first class... sushi class! I made lots of cool kinds of stuff, including spicy tuna roll (one of which had a raw quail egg on top, very neat!), sake cured salmon, tuna and avocado roll, flying fish roe piece, quail egg sushi and miso soup.


They serve beer and wine while you're cooking and you get to eat what you make. I made about $30 or more worth of sushi and had a nice beer. Can't beat that for a free meal!
In May I'm taking the blue crab cooking class and hoping for some she crab soup!

I'm coming over! I took a sushi class years ago, but looks like I could learn a lot more. Now I'm hungry for miso soup.
