(sung to the tune, “Going To The Chapel”…)
Good Morning, Darlings!
If you know me well in real life, you will know that I am a Super H devotee. I adore the Super H Market. Google it and see if you have one near you. It is an Asian supermarket and their produce, meats and seafood departments will blow you away. And those prices! Crazy insane cheap. You could shop here for a week and not spend $50. Or you could spend more – it’s all up to you.
I was hankering for sushi and wanted to make it myself, so I called up bestie Lisa and away we went. But first, we had lunch in the Super H Food Court. Coolest food court, ever. I kept myself from being tempted to buy a roasted duck and opted for duck soup instead. Lisa chose the soup with the honey ribs. Lisa won this round. Her soup was superb. And she is such a great friend, she even shared.

I didn’t lose my mind in there, but I could have. I picked up a bit of salmon and king crab for nigiri at home. Plus a little mochi for dessert. But before we left, Lisa and I took a gander at the housewares. I liked this package:
Spend Lavishly! Nothing Subliminal About That
And home we went. But not before getting a shot of Lisa in her adorable coat and hat in front of the store:
How Cute Is Lisa? Super Cute!
Once home, I cooked up the sushi rice and put together the nigiri, while Diane and I visited and sipped some Chardonnay. I thought it all turned out pretty well. Not restaurant quality (which is why we will continue to dine out when the sushi craving grabs us.) But a valiant effort all the same. It’s worth trying at least once.

Strawberry and Coffee Mochi Wrapped Up Our Supper
What is mochi you ask? Lets let wikipedia explain it to you. They are rice cakes wrapped around something else. In this case, yummy ice cream. They are so delicious and the perfect little dessert when you just want something sweet, but not too big.
So….are you going to try your hand at sushi? You can do it!

uhh…YUM! i adore asian food and have never heard of a Super H. I will most certainly be looking for one. I am a bit of a sushi and korean food fanatic to be specific. I have the greatest recipe for bibim bap if you ever want to try it. absolutely wonderful.
Tristan! Here is the link for Super H so you can find the one closest to you. And how about you come by one evening and we’ll cook your recipe together and we can blog about it? oxox, P
Patti – it looks delicious! Did you take a sushi class or just figure it out yourself? FruHubs gave me a sushi kit for Christmas, but I am a little intimidated to try it. Plus all I can think of is the scene in Sex & the City movie when Samantha covers herself in sushi – gross!
It’s not terribly hard, but I don’t know if lay folks can ever get it like the sushi masters. Oh that scene in SATC is hilarious – Samantha gets so angry and starts slinging sushi!
