tonight we hosted our 4th(?) annual sushi party. it's always a great time. my husband and i provide all the necessary fish, ingredients, and supplies, and our friends jump in to make their own creations.
people always ask me how i learned to make my own sushi, and the answer is that i taught myself. one day, i told my husband i wanted to try to duplicate what i've seen in restaurants at home, and so i did. then i started inviting a couple friends over here and there, teaching them too, and soon, the sushi party was born.
i usually invite a number of "regulars" and then some "newbies" who are interested in learning how to roll their maki and are open to a different experience. we tell guests it's BYOB, and then it's a party.
this time we had our biggest group yet. there was a moment when i was in the middle of the hustle and bustle in the kitchen when i realized i have a really eclectic group of friends. i'm never sure how the get-together will turn out, but when you have a bunch of people there all for a common love of sushi and a unique experience, how could it truly go wrong? it's so nice to be able to bring a bunch of the people you know from all walks of life together for a night of good food and good conversation.
