Masturbate. ;)

sigh. I wish.

chemo conveniently killed all desire in me. Actually, since my sweetie-pie but soon-to-be-dead cat woke me up, I've been listing all the nasty things chemo has done to me. My therapist would not approve of this activity. She would suggest I focus on things that make me feel better. She suggests that I say "Cancel!" to negative thoughts and replace them with whatever I need to think, say or do to feel better. She's very big on Feeling Good. She's right, of course. Nothing comes from negativity. My brain is tired of waking up at the unholy hour and I'm tired of hobbling around on my crone pins (due to - yeah, chemo) until my posterior tibial ligament loosens up. I'm tired of having to exfoliate all this dead skin, tired of feeling tired...look, I'll spare you the more, but masturbation? Nooooooo. I don't even like myself enough to do that.

Well I still like ya,:jagoff: so I will.

ah, thanks, bruce!

But I hate it when my food smells like patchouli.

Then pretend you're someone else. Just start slow, and work yourself into the mood. Don't have to be in the mood at first. Got a massaging shower head? ;)

We get sushi grade fish through the meat company we order from (Town & Country Foods)... but Whole Foods and Central Market carry it. You can also obtain it at Japanese Grocery stores... like Nipon Dido on Westimer in Houston.

An easy spicy tuna roll... chop up the tuna and add some Rooster sauce... it is great!

Eel and Avocado are another real winner. Or if you have the time to make tempura... put some shrimp or veggie tempura in with some avocado or cream cheese...

Leftover raw fish sushi can be tempura battered and cooked... salmon rolls are great this way.

Really the only hard part is getting the rice right and smearing it on thin enough... it is a bit tricky. Oh... and getting it rolled tight enough.

I'm making some sushi for a small dinner party we are having on Sunday... we'll be sure to take some pictures.

Most oriental stores should have the little sushi mats for rolling, makes it a lot easier

And I highly recomend lining your sushi mat with saran wrap... keeps it clean for one, but from my experience it helps achieve a tighter roll... and the roll can then be placed into the fridge while you prepare the rest of the sushi or meal or whatever... I don't slice and plate up the sushi until I have all the rolls made and am prepared to serve them...
