But I have been working!

 Friday my 8 year old daughter and I made polymer clay beads and baked them, then made jewelry.  Her beads came out WAY better than mine and I’m currently wearing a bracelet she made me. 

 Saturday, we did our cookie booth and sold 30 more boxes for her Girl Scout Troop!

 Sunday, I made it a point to carve out some special time with my husband.  We snuggles on the couch, ate sushi, and watched the LOST episodes we have missed this season.  We really, really needed that.

 Yesterday, my daughter and I delivered all the cookies ordered in the neighborhood.  It was a feat.  I stacked all the boxes in the stroller and strapped the baby to me in the Snugli.  We walked probably three miles that way.  It was an undertaking, to say the least, lol.  I was overly ambitious…but we did get them delivered to all but three houses!

And today I made this as a promo for my shop:

I visited Korea at the beginning of the month and had kimbap for the first time. Here’s me making it:

The egg has soy sauce in it and was delicious by itself. Ingredients involved: the egg, cucumber, green onion, radish, steamed spinach, can tuna, carrot. And sushi rice, and kim (nori). The rice I cooked by following the directions on the bag, except I didn’t have time to soak it. I just rinsed well and simmered on the stove. I put a cloth napkin between the pot and the lid to catch excess steam, a trick I learned on the online as I’m not a very good rice cooker. I guess I should really buy a rice cooker. Though I’m wary of kitchen appliances that only do one thing.

Here it is done:

continuing with the theme of “japan”, today i made fondant sushi. after mixing together a batch of fondant, i dyed it and formed the sushi shapes.
