For those that don’t know..

...I love to cook.  Just about everything.  I am proud to say I am not half bad so I was happy as can be with two Christmas presents I received this year.

  • A breadmaker.  From 1 to 2 pound loaf sizes, 3 different crusts and my favorite part of all, the delay bake timer.  It was wonderfully nice to toss the ingredients in there yesterday, set the delay timer and walk in the door to not only the aroma but a nice 2 lb loaf of fresh sourdough bread yesterday.  The only other kind I made so far was a chocolate chip bread.  The honey wheat is to come later this week when I finish this current one.
  • A class at the Viking Culinary Arts Center for making sushi was the other one.  I also managed to get a ton of supplies to add to my collection for making it, but the class was an awesome idea from my brother.  He actually listened for once to what I like to do and came up with this when he was taking a pizza class they had and saw it on the list.  The first one open was during Lotusphere so of course I had to move that to February (not Lotusphere but the class) to take advantage as soon as possible.  I found out they have an Asian Noodle Bar class too I might take advantage of.  It seems the sushi class covers:
    • Nigiri (Hand-Pressed with Shrimp, Tuna and Eel)
    • Futomaki (Fat Roll)
    • California Roll
    • Hosomaki (Thin Roll)
    • Tuna Roll Temaki (Hand Roll)

    Otherwise there was the normal stuff, clothes and all but those two really made my day.  I needed it since I have been sick for almost two weeks now.  Forget the 12 Days of Christmas, I was celebrating the 12 Days of Death by Flu.
