Susie makes Sushi at home now...

Ok so we are never ever going out for sushi again. We decided to make it at home last night... (stunk her house up royal) or rather my mother in laws house. Sooooooooo easy!!!!!!! And tasted great!! And we realized that for $10 from the store, we made about $60 worth of sushi from a restaurant. And we could put as much fish in the rolls as we wanted to! I'd recommend it to anyone.

A few pointers tho:

• Never use fresh water fish... apparently the salt water helps to kill parasites.
• Use fish that has been frozen for a long time. We got ours from the freezer section in Winco. The freezing process also kills parasites. Even the "fresh" fish you get at a sushi bar has been frozen. (Its an FDA standard now)
• Just for safety reasons we steamed our fish on both sides for 20 seconds each.
• Make sure you wipe down your kitchen with anti-bacterial stuff throughout the process as the fish juice gets everywhere since you handle it with your hands.
• We did salmon & tuna steaks with cucumber. (Yum!)

Letting dreams be dreams

Dreams are such a weird thing. One night it may be the sweetest, warm feeling dream and you wake up feeling great, or like last night, it could be your worst fears surfacing. (not my favorite) I realize that dreams are your brains way of processing days events, scenarios & fears... but then you have the absolute bizarre ones that seem like you just stepped into a Salvador Dali painting, aside from the fact that everything makes sense at the time. Why? No clue. All I know is that most of them put me in a bad mood temporarily, although some leave me completely pissed off all day and I sit and stew in it.

Nightmares are the worst. I know a nightmare is usually pegged as a horrible death or something really scary like in the movies, I tend to call any of my bad dreams a nightmare. Whenever it deals with a fear of mine, its considered a night mare. Through studies I know that dreams usually end up meaning just the opposite of what they portray as your brain processess it, like if you dream of death that usually means there is a re-birth of some aspect in your life, and the more horrible the death the better the outcome in real life. Wonder why...

I suppose its an interesting concept. Although the way things have been going lately, I'd rather not dream at all.
