Sushi disaster

Have been wanting to post these pics for almost a week now. Sis came for Raya for 4 days, had good fun cooking Raya meal, invited a couple of friends, went out for 2 (kiddy) movies hehe...(Wallace and Grommit highly recommended for the kiddies at heart :p) . Sis came with her tatami mat in her attempt to teach me the 'art' of sushi making...


My first attempt....disaster..haha...half of the sushi ended up in my tummy..ate it like I do 'nasi campur' ...hehehe

Second roll...looks a bit promising...err...doesn't it?


A wee bit better from the first I must say....hehe... really ah? :p

More than an hour later..phew.....I must say....sushi making tested my patience..which I don't have a lot of...:p I still prefer the old 'nasi campur'..thank you very much...

And that one full tupperware of sushi we brought it to the Bonfire night last Saturday, with one bottle of Amoy Dark Soy Sauce...hehe...sitting on a wet bench by the beach in the cold drizzly and windy night while watching fireworks, enjoying the cold sushi (they were veryy nice...surprisingly) ... ahhh... joy.... hehehe... silly things that we do when we're away from home....:p

The firework display was great...would have been better if it wasn't too flippin' cold. I would have taken more pictures if it wasn't for my frozen hands...

A pathetic attempt at taking the fireworks pictures...

It was a great night all the same...had fun watching Nanny McFee during the day, then walked around the city centre, there were French Market..selling french stuff...hehe...sis had banana and chocolate crepes...helped myself to various flavoured cheese (they were tomato and basil cheese, parsley and onion, garlic and something else...and a disgusting ginger cheese ones..yekk...sort of sweet tangy cheese...I love ginger..but ginger cheese?? :p) made 2-3 rounds, kept coming back for different ones...:p ...they should let us taste the olives too...hehe..then I'd be there the whole day...hehe. Had prawnies (expensive wooo...6 little fake-prawns cooked in olive oil with herbs and garlic for 2.50 quids...why did I buy it? dunno...tasty tho...hehe). My friend bought Danish pancakes..little cuties they were...little fluff of pancakes topped with maple sauce and whipped cream, and some topped with strawberry sauce..yum yummm.... There weren't a lot of stalls compared to various years...it's getting less every year. They used to have soup stall ( crab soup, prawn soup...hmmm...sounds nice during this cold cold weather..), creme brulee, and more interesting stuffs...not anymore tho.

All the while I enjoyed myself...but couldn't help missing someone...^_^ wishing so hard he could be enjoying all that as well....with me. The movies, the walks, cheese-tasting..:p, eating crepes and prawnies...and watching the fireworks while enjoying my home-made sushi...:p

*Every steps I take, my dear*
