Sandal Mania

I'm so excited that warm weather is just around the corner (I type this as snow flurries fall outside)! Warm weather = SANDALS! I swung by Old Navy today and was so excited to see all the fun sandals, dresses, and swimsuits. Of course I had to purchase a pair or two :0) I love all the sandals at Piperlime but the price is a little steep. I just can't justify $170 for a pair of sandals...but if I could these are the ones I would get!

Random Tuesday

Guess who went shopping...ME. I found this cute apron set at World Market. It included an apron, pot holder, and two kitchen towels for $14.99. I thought I just can't pass up such a bargain ;)

Check out my spoiled lazy dog. Yeah, his head is on my pillow and he is under the covers like a human. Gee, what a life!

Happy Tuesday Everyone

Sushi Night

A few weeks ago I was watching an episode of my favorite food network show...Everyday Italian... and Giada was making SUSHI. She made it look so very easy that I though I might give it a try. So one Friday night Chad and I became professional sushi chefs :) While I was at work he drove around all of Nashville gathered the ingredients needed for sushi night. Apparently no one in Nashville was selling sushi grade tuna. The guys behind the seafood counter at Whole Foods told Chad to lightly sear the tuna and it would be all good. I got a little nervous and immediately imagined myself laying on the bathroom floor all night with some nasty food poisoning. Chad assured me it would be okay and off we went with our sticky rice, seaweed, and Sriracha chili sauce. It was surprisingly easy! The rolls in the back of the picture are spicy tuna with black sesame seeds on top, the middle are California rolls, and the front are crunchy shrimp. Looks professional doesn't it?!?! The hardest part was keeping the sticky rice from sticky to your hands and trying to roll the sushi tight enough so it doesn't fall apart. All in all it was a good experience and I felt very accomplished afterwards. Oh and no food poisoning!
