Sushi Shazam!

I have to thank whoever gave Abby a gift-card to Amazon.com for Christmas! Among other things she used the card to purchase a sushi roller and a vegetarian sushi cook book. Since then we have been experimenting with all kinds of sushi including soba and somen noodle sushi, which I have never had (or seen) before. Instead of the rice commonly used in sushi, the noodles are the main filler in the sushi rolls. Then we use other veggies such as bell peppers, carrots, and cucumbers to complete the roll. I must admit it's pretty delicious!

The plan was to take pictures of the last round of sushi creations and post them on the blog. Unfortunately, I was placed in charge of rolling the sushi, which resulted in delicious, but particularly ugly sushi rolls. I promise we will post pictures next time Abby rolls it!

In other news: Abby has her job interview this Wed. for the internship (think full-time job with benefits!) at OSAAS, where she currently works part-time. Wish her luck! I've got a really good feeling about it ;).

As far as I am concerned, school is back in full swing and I am doing my best to keep up. Pretty soon we will have a new batch of graduate school interviewees in Oxford and I am so happy to be on the other side of the equation this year! I'm looking forward to meeting all of my new potential department mates.

Otherwise things are going well here with the three us (although Abby and Ziggy are getting much more sleep than me!). My parents are visiting in a couple of weeks, which we are very excited about considering they have never even seen the apartment completely put together. Until then we'll just be hanging out, living the dream in Mississippi!
