What you are witnessing is the second time I've ever rolled sushi. The first was with my partner on a dinner date, where he was 'showing' me his skill. Unfortunately for him, i'm better than him now. (Love you, mean it)

The rolls are spicy shrimp, avocado, cucumber, radish sprouts, and spelt roe. They were fantastic.

Along side the rolls were some abura age' or tofu pouches stuffed with fried quail egg rice.

One of my oldest and dearest sister friends celebrated receiving her masters in social work so I made her some grub, she is an amazing woman & I love her dearly.

Side dishes was bok choy flashed fried in ginger, baked taro root with turmeric, cumin & garlic, and baked kombucha squash in maple syrup.
