Later in the day she called and had me bring her some sushi and some cut-up cheese (which I put on the sushi), and Missa had me bring in the kit inserts I still had here. I dropped them off with Carrie and she gave me in return her paycheck and many more monies from the Winterfest show. I went to Fred Meyer and deposited it all (as well as some monies for me), then bought a handful of groceries for to making dinner.
For dinner what was, you ask? Well, I made vegetarian onion soup, fully-loaded baked potatoes (with butter, sour cream, green onion, sharp cheddar cheese, and bacon bits), and my patented Cheese Sushi:
Look at how awesome I am! I made little makizushi out of cheese! That's sharp cheddar on the inside and havarti on the outside. I even made cheese pickled ginger! Lookitthat!
How do you get it to come out like that, though, you ask? Here's my recipe for Cheese Sushi:
Cheese Sushi:
Ingredients:You'll need:
- Sharp Cheddar (cut into strips about one centimeter square by 4 inches long)
- Havarti (thinly sliced)
- Plastic (cling) wrap
- A very sharp knife
- Chop sticks
- Take the square strips of cheddar and wrap them very tightly in one or two slices of havarti (depending on the thickness of the havarti and the desired diameter of the finished sushi), making a cheese log.
- Wrap log entirely in plastic (cling) wrap.
- With warm hands, squeeze the wrapped cheese log until the surface smoothes and there are no visible cracks or holes in the surface.
- Unwrap and slice into approximately 1cm slices. If the havarti starts to crack or unwrap, use warm fingers to smoothe it back into place.
- Serve on a cute sushi tray with chopsticks and cheese pickled ginger!
To make cheese pickled ginger:
- When wrapping your cheese log, leave approximately 2-3cm of space between the ends of the cheddar cheese and the edge of the havarti.
- When slicing, cut these ends off and arrange like pickled ginger!
CUTE AS CAN FREAKIN' BE!
After dinner we went to Big Lots to pick up good-and-cheap Christmas wrapping supplies and what-not. Then we walked nextdoor to Trader Joe's and stocked up on foodstuffs. Carrie forgot her debit card, which makes it three times in the last three months that she's done that at Trader Joe's. Only at Trader Joe's. We figure there's some kinda curse in operation.
After we came home I helped her tag her jewelry (by printing out tags and earring cards and such). It was harder than it seemed, because I think my printer has just about had it. It started getting paper jams every single sheet of card stock that went through it. What do I want for Christmas? Hmm... I wonder. Oh well.
