Sushi is not for wimps!




Friday night we had Dave's school "team" over for "make your own sushi" night. I love to pull out my Japanese souveniers (dishes and serving trays) to make the night a bit more authentic. We did include raw salmon and tuna (nope, NO ONE got sick, even from fish shipped all the way to Utah!) but also had some mellow rolls with fake crab or (cooked) chicken. I think everyone liked the raw fish! I absolutely love the taste of sushi and sashimi. I love the Japanese feel of the night (although the eggnog definitely put a different twist on things!)
The night was topped by amazing cheesecake made by one of the groupies wives. I really love getting to know the guys and the spouses of those on Dave's teams. It is nice to be in the same boat with other people. Each of the people in Dave's group has one kid, except one guy has 3 kids! =So we had quite the full basement apartment (which is not yet baby proofed- but everyone and everything survived).

Members of Dave's team include some of the new blogs you will find on my "friend" list. Namely,

Oliver & Kristen (They're preggo with #2 girl);

Dave & Mandy,

Ken & Emily,

Scott & Kristen (not converted to the blogging world as of yet, I am working on her!)

Looks like you guys had so much fun! I'm so sad that we weren't there.
