Last weekend, my dear friend Elisabeth and her partner Taha came to visit for the Cherry Blossom Festival held annually in Washington D.C. The weather prevented us from picnicking on the mall, but that did not stop Elisabeth displaying her impressive culinary skills in my kitchen.
The Menu
-o- Miso soup
-o- Seaweed salad
-o- 3 kinds of salmon maki
-o- Salmon rice balls
-o- Chicken gyoza
-o- Soba noodles
Check out the feast she prepared for us! Brian and I contributed sake and the fish plates… he also attempted to build a sushi-rolling mat from bamboo skewers and dental floss.
Elisabeth even brought Japanese cookies for dessert and Japanese gum for palate-clearing.
