Homemade Sushi - Shiitake Garlic Wine Style

This was extremely yummy. I started out with sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms with garlic and lots of olive oil, butter and salt. Once they soaked all the grease up I started pouring on dark red wine. I kept adding wine or oil till it was all about the consistency and taste of steak fat.

Then made sushi rice - 2 cups water, 2 cups sushi rice that was rinsed till the water ran clear. Then into the rice cooker. Let cool a bit.

Next I mixed 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp brown rice vinegar, 1 tbsp salt and microwaved it for like 30-40 seconds till the dry ingredients absorbed. This doesn't smell great but it works.

Then took the liquid and folded it into the rice.

Next put the rice on the nori, sushi wrapper seaweed, and smear it around but leaving space at the end in order to seal it shut. Take the mushrooms and some thinly sliced carrot and cucumber and put it on the rice.

Next roll it into a tube shape, then with a very sharp knife, cut into slices.

Garlic, Rosemary and Parsley Chicken Wings

I made these in the oven the other night because it was raining so I couldn't use the grill.

They were amazing. Take some chicken wings, cover them in rosemary powder, sliced garlic, some parley, sea salt, olive oil.

Then bake them at 350 in a covered casserole dish until they look done maybe 45 minutes, then quick broil uncovered.

You could prob do it faster with more broiling but the longer you cook em covered the more the meat falls off the bone.

Tying A Shoe And Riding A Bike

Seems dangerous. That was yesterday.

Sad we missed the tour de farms today. I guess we can consider our registration a donation but it was too cold and shitty for me. Same with Music is Art.

Summer is over ;(

Frog Castle - Jabe Pond 2015

We spent a lot of time building in the sand on Sunday. (e:joe) used his engineering background to build a castle and I used my MFA and Italian heritage to build a mosiac eye.

Masumi At Jabe 2015

(E:uchina) came out to visit us at Jabe for the week.

We took a trip to Hawaii and ate strawberries on the ocean.

We also spent a lot of time wrapping ourselves up in blue tarp and pretending to be drowning victims.

I already miss it.

Black Mountain Hike

While at Jabe Pond we made a trip out to black mountain for a day hike. The weather was pretty awesome but I was drenched by the end even without the rain.

Its a pretty awesome look out over Lake George. I would suggest checking it out.

Arriving at Jabe Pond 2015

We arrived at camp to find the parking lot full of forest rangers. Turned out their was a forest fire on one of the hills surrounding the pond. The forests were so dry with the lack of rain. Even the pine trees were starting to look yellow. I could see how it could easily catch fire.

Luckily, they got it out and we didn't die.

Ladies Only Hats at Walmart

Not sure if this is in response to Target ungendering their goods or not, but now many of the baseball and cowboy hats in the Walmart sporting section are clearly sticker-labeled as ladies only with a pink "ladies" sticker. So for all you guys who wanted a blue trimmed Ford logo camouflaged hat, put it down - ladies only.

What's next, labeling all pants as men's only?

Who do they think this is helping? Its not like women and girls are held back from wearing men's hats and require the sticker for it to be "OK". I also don't see the sticker stopping any guy who really wants a pink trimmed hat from getting it. So who is it for, the macho hunter who can't realize for himself that this hat might be a bit girly for the weekend hunt who the bros?

Squeaky Wheel Peep Show

The Squeaky Wheel Peep Show fundraiser over at 500 Seneca St on Saturday was pretty awesome.

First, the VIP room was amazing. The atmosphere, the food from Coco and the cocktails were unbelievable. If that was the entire event I would have gone.

The art installations, the center of the entire event, were also pretty great.

My favorites were a tie between Keith Harrington's living room setup with the corn buskers and Kleenex on the tablr, dreamland' BDSM Pancake video, and the Dirty Thirty gameshow.

Watching (e:Dianne) smash eggs in her face during the Dirty Thirty gameshow made me cringe. For her sake I'm glad she didn't have to pass onto the next round.

I feel like next time around, I am going to put one on.
