Memories: The Sushi Lunch

Photos and text by Michele Bourdieu

Welcome back, students! Here are some photos that may bring back a memory of last semester -- the delicious sushi lunch you prepared for us in February 2008. Finlandia instructor Suzanne VanDam generously offered her kitchen and dining room for the occasion.

Three cooks, from left, Daniel, Toshi and Kazuki prepare some cucumbers for the sushi. (Click on photos for larger versions.)

Nick, Gustavo and Kana check on the rice cooking.

Kumiko and Cassie are proud of their Japanese omelette!

Kumiko prepares to demonstrate for Cassie and Suzanne how sushi is rolled with the little mat.

And here's how it's done ...

Cassie gives it a try.

More cooks get into the sushi making.

Toshi, Kana and Kazuki add their contributions.

Here's the whole crew, ready for the feast!
