Ah.. my fault.  I corrected a typo thinking the scanner had not read my first

I like sushi, and it is pretty non-problemic for a lot of people with allergies
here.. I don't eat sashimi often if ever (raw fish).  My daughter likes that
quite a bit.

I know what you mean about "a lot of work".. I think I made dim-sum once and
that was enough work for me (G)

:) Perhaps they were confused as well?

hehe.. you are like Ron.. he can't stand avocado.  I love it. One night I made
the lettuce-rollup recipe below for dinner and he really liked it (I was
shocked)!

hehe it is indeed "separtist rice".  For sushi you really need sticky-short
grain rice.  It is what holds the rolls together so they can be sliced.

>> Oh.. and nori :)

> Don't even know what that is.

It's the green seaweed "paper" that one would see on the outside of sushi
(unless it's the inside-out sushi, then the nori is on the inside of the
sushi).  It is made from seaweed and formed into sheets using a method similar
to making paper from what I understand :)

When you make sushi, you mix a few cups of sticky-rice with sweetened
rice-vinegar, then you can press the rice onto the sheet of nori and it will
stay put when you roll up the sushi.
