Sushi...a recipe for fun

My husband really likes sushi, but only has it on the few occasions we eat out at a chinese buffet. My sister is the first person I know to have made sushi at home. However, our neighbor Scott recently took this same adventure and left my husband's mouth watering. He began to e-mail me recipes. 

I don't quite understand it, but I was willing to give it a shot. I cannot stand seafood and that made me apprehensive at first. However, there are many different types and who says you can't just leave some ingredients out?

We made California rolls this past weekend while visiting my parents. Most of them had crab (imitation), but we left it out of a few for me to try. 

It was....okay, but made some really NEAT pictures. 

Nori is the wrap and can be described more clearly as "seaweed paper," in my opinion. It was actually quite flavorless, but strong smelling. 




















We had avocado, cucumbers and crab inside; there was rice and sesame seeds on the outside. Love avocado!



Neat empty avocado peel.


















Filling it up...




















...and rolling it.
























It made a LOT more than we though it would. 




















And you dip it when you eat it. We just used soy sauce, but there are all kinds of options. It wasn't too bad and my husband was happy!
