Sushi Post!

One fine day, I received a sms from the boy that says, "Anyway I was thinking, will you learn how to cook and do housework?" Then it left me pondering for a while and I thought, "Well, I knew how to do, it's just that I am lazy." One thing I will never do is to mop the floor. I have never mopped the floor once in my entire life because I find the sight of the murky water disgusting. Imagine the shit coming from the cockroaches, lizards all in that pool of water.

A few days after this sms from him, I thought of whipping something up for him to prove that I can cook! Since I have always wanted to make sushi, so why not make use of this chance? I headed down to the NTUC market and bought all the necessary stuffs under the Japanese section. Then I started the sushi-making right after I reached home.

I have no idea how much water to put for the calrose rice, especially when my mum just bought a new rice cooker so I roughly estimate the amount of water. The rice came out just nice, not too hard. :) After which, I added in 3.5 spoonfuls of the seasoned vinegar and really, the rice tasted much better with the vinegar! Ingredients were prepared while waiting for the rice to be cooked so rolling starts! I think the hardest part in sushi-making is to roll it nice and tight without any ingredients or rice falling out when it is being cut. I spent like 2 hours cooking the ingredients, rice, rolling and cleaning up! All for that 9 rolls of sushi I made. But still, I felt happy and satisfied with my first time result.

Gave the boy a container of sushi to bring back home and he gave me his professional comments - Good Job! So happy to hear that.

Pictures time!

The rice that came out just nice :)

The final result! (Of course there are more sushi than just this, the others are put in another container) :)

Did I mention before that the boy has a weird habit of sanitizing every corner of his room with alcohol? And that he always had me to sanitize my feet with alcohol first before I am allowed to step my foot on his bed. Now another weird habit here is his insistence on aligning his clothes in his wardrobe properly. A very very specific distance away from each other for each of his shirts and pants.

There you see the hangers at a very specific distance away from each other. And he wouldn't allow me to touch them.

All folded in the same way and categorize accordingly to the material of the shirt and the occasion to wear the shirt.
I told him that he has some kind of psychological problem but he said that I am the one who suffers from that instead. Duh.

Anyway, boy's away for a leadership training program for 2 days in Malaysia so I have no one to disturb!! Sian. Eagerly doing up the launch for tomorrow's CNY Special collection. This time round with a new model who's tall. 1.68m! I got a shock when she told me she's 1.68m.
