Frist Sushi Night of 2010

It was a fairly successful evening, but since then, we have yet to try it again. Wanting to do something to start off the new year correctly, Helen, me, Angel, and decided to do another sushi night. So out went the invites and list of ingredients. We had about 15-16 people at the event and a few Japanese friends of Helen, so I get to test out my Japanese culinary cooking skills on some natives.
