chirashi zushi with avocado and mountain potato

Chirashi zushi is perhaps the easiest sushi there is to make. For more on how to make sushi, see the article (I wrote and won 70 dollars for…ha ha…) here

This here is a vegetarian avocado/mountain potato sushi. It’d be great with smoked salmon, shrimp, crab, etc, but we make do with what we can. Sushi rice is topped with slices of avocado and mountain potato, mayonnaise, roasted sesame seeds, and crisp nori flakes. Serve with dark soy sauce and wasabi.

I think that means male nanny…here are some pics of what I’ve been doing with Deren and Kaelyn here in Fukuoka.

Calling home

I wrote this based off my painting. Not the other way around.

.

I can make a call.

It is my right!

And not at all

Indecent at

This time of night.

.

And that

I walked a mile

To use the telephone

Even while

I have my OWN

.

Is really none of your concern.

Just look o-ver there at the light

Just watch the moths dancing, they burn

To crisps and they taste great

Especially so late

At night.

.

Do you see the moon in the sky?

Do you see me? Do you know why

I come to use the public phone?

I like it better than my own!

.

And it is e-v-ery frog’s right

To make a call late in the night.

Farmtown and Happy Aquarium

So I go to the computer, and Dave (name changed) is sitting there….”I need a job!”

See, Dave is 13. He doesn’t actually need a job. He’s playing Farmtown; a Facebook game where you’re “hired” to raise crops to make useless quasi-Facebook money. Everyone around me is talking about Farmtown and that other one…Happy Aquarium. It’s driving me insane. 11 year olds are playing it. 30 year olds are playing it.

Go check it out. I will stay here and weep bitterly for my children.

The October post

I haven’t posted in such a long while I’m not sure where to start.
FDTP was great! I made many new friends and was able to make some solid commitments for my life. After FDTP, I had a week long vacation, during which I had time to work on Coffee and George. It’s coming along. Please keep it in your prayers.

Also, I’m back in Fukuoka now. Due to some changes in my current home in Tokyo, I’m down here for awhile. I’m not sure when I can go back, but hope to soon. I’m really having a good time with my family and friends down here, and have even found time for some writing.

What I’ve been up to:

• writing more poems (coming soon)
• a Family reunion (photos coming soon, maybe)
• working on Coffee and George
• back with Deren and Kaelyn
• cooking, cleaning

All together, not much, and all the good stuff is what I won’t blog about. Take care!
