sushi moto saturday!

it's been a while....i have been a busy lady! i started a new teaching job (dream job, actually), and have been nursing a month-long cold, so those factors might contribute to my absence!

anyhow, a few weeks back we went for a great sushi eve. our little foursome had our own private room at sushi moto: delicious saki, sumptuous sushi and a whole lot of laughs. enjoy.

yum....this sake warmed us up.

yonge and sheppard, check it out.

my apologies, we ate everything so quickly i didn't get to photograph it all.
fun times, RK, MS and AY!

stay tuned, hope to be back soon!

canada's next great sushi master?

was invited by a friend to try a sushi making class (shoutout to lodawg) at wabora, in the thompson hotel.

it was a great experience. the master sushi chef was excellent and we had the opportunity to make a variety of fun rolls (we each made 16)!

hats off to sushi chefs everywhere. it is definitely not as easy as it looks! 

fancy chopsticks for a fancy place

lead instructor. he was pro.

some were more adventurous (shrimp tempura, crab,
cucumber, avocado, spicy salmon, crunchy bits.....LOTS of sauce) 

while others played it safe (avocado and yam tempura).

up close and personal (avocado and cucumber)

thanks to lodawg and google j for the invite!
