Last Day - Ahi Poke and Sashimi for Brunch

Our duplex cabin neighbor gave us some ahi straps - time to make poke and sashimi. But we had to make a grocery run first because we didn't have sesame seed oil, good soy sauce, wasabi and a few other things (like a good knife). Ishihara's in Waimea had the sesame seed oil - and a really popular poke counter -

 

While La and I were out, we had a date chai (they call them "Dirty Chai's" - first time(s) I heard them called that).

 


 More chickens -


 

Back at the cabin - I had to use a 'serrated knife' to clean and prepare the ahi - OH THE HUMANITY!!!!

 

 I made the most of it (but for sure I'm bringing my own filet knife next time), and everyone made quick work of my work!!! Yummy!!!

Dinner April 9, 2017

Ahi Sashimi So ono!!!!

Valentine's Dinner

This is what I made the family for our Valentine's Day dinner. Fed everyone for less than $20!!! A mediocre sushi dinner out is minimum $90 :( - Although these were easy... and to really make an accurate comparison, I need to venture into the difficult (volcanos, topped negiri, and some inside out rolls). Next time - for now I'd say this is more than fine!

Repeat Lunch

I had bought an extra block of ahi so we had sashimi for a second time. I showed Marlon how to form the rice patties and how to cut the ahi. They came out pretty good!!! I'd say the kids thought so too!

I've been reading some books...

And paying attention to the sushi chefs when we've hit the sushi bars. Here's my latest attempt.
