At our favorite Sushi Bar, Osaka's we indulged with the help of a gift certificate, (thanks mom and Dad). This little guy would have been the thing in any other state but honestly it just looked like a Palmetto bug to me. That is a cockroach the size of your forearm for those of you who don't speak Floridian:)

Sushi and Such

Now that the Holiday is just a distant memory I will revisit. V-day cards made with all recycled paper/glue stick and stamps. They were very pretty but fifty something envelopes was time consuming. I have yet to scan the template but I can do so if anyone would like. Next year I think we will opt for something a bit less time consuming. We pulled the animal designs off of the Internet and just recreated it using stamps. Pixie had a porcupine and Popeye had a Penguin.

I would not usually post a picture of my kitchen in the midst of Sushi disarray but it was a first for my little Pixie. she rolled and ate some pretty awesome creations. I was around to use sharp utensils only.

This one popped right before the shot had asparagus, cucumber, cream cheese, avacado, crunchies, (fried tempura breading), sesame seeds and eel sauce. We will from this point on refer to it as the Pixie roll.
