Thursday nights usually consist of a weekly youth staff meeting for us but this week we changed it up a little and had some fun! (are meetings are normally fun this one just was different)
My friend Angela, took us to a restaurant called AOI in cincinatti! they serve the most divine sushi you have ever tasted! so we recreated that sushi last night for dinner and for our meeting.
Making sushi involved sooo many steps but was easier than i thought and delicious!
this is the instruction book. basically told us how to make the rice sticky.
all of our sauces, wasabi, hot & spicy mayonaise, soy sauce, terryaki, and i cant remember the red one with the green cap, maybe seshami?
sliced cucumbers, celery and asparagus
fresh peeled shrimp!
steaks,, cooked at 350 degrees for about 18 minutes
ready to make some shrimp tempura!
meet ang, one of my dearest friends! this is where she is warning me that once we place the battered shrimp in oil its gonna go POP POP and splatter and hurt us. grrreat!
its a POPPIN!
voila! shrimp tempura!
the paper, i dont know the japanese term for it.
rice.
terryaki shrimp, that i served over rice for the non-sushi eaters like nora :)
beginning the rolling process!
rolled!
i didnt get a picture of all of it before we devoured it!
we had surf and turf, (lobster and steak with aparagus) buffalo shrimp, shrimp terryaki, and veggie!
plus a delicious ginger salad! dont you wish you were there?!
and this was dessert! rice krispie treats with a swedish fish and fruit by the foot! so cute and creative and i wish i could take credit but i cant. Mindy is awesome!
and what would my blog be without some pics of the cupcake! she was tired last night and wanted more peach ice cream!
hahahha i love this one! she was mad though that i wouldnt let her have the camera.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sweet friend Richelle D'Amico! she is awesome and if you dont know her you are missing it!
xoxo-Julie
