Sushi & Orange Cinnamon Rolls

Helloooo my bloggy peeps!  How ARE you?  Have you entered the Giveaway yet?  Only a few days left, so check it out & leave a comment & tell your friends & have them leave a comment!  $15 to CSN stores; you know you want it!  : )  


Tonight, I met my friend Nicki at a new Sushi restaurant called Red Ginger.  Isn't that a fun name??  The interior is beautifully done!  Reminded me of PF Chang's w/ the dark wood, but MUCH better lighting.  : )  It's a big, open space, not a lot of tables, but a pretty big bar table and sushi bar table, and also three traditional Japanese style tables.  Those were really cool, and I wish I'd taken a picture of them before the restaurant filled up!  LOL  


I ordered the Peanut Roll and a piece of salmon.  The first and only time I had Sashimi, I didn't like it, but not because it was bad.  I really didn't think it had ANY flavor at all.  Tonight I decided to try it again, but just a piece!  : )  And I did like it, but still think I'll stick to rolls.  : )  The Peanut Roll was DELICIOUS!  Oh my goodness.  






Add a little soy sauce from this adorable teapot-like pourer & ohhhhhh.  Bursts of flavor in my mouth from every.single.bite!!  Sweet and savory, crunchy and lovely and peanutty!






Nicki's plate of Chef's choice, and some sort of fish roe (I don't remember which fish, and it was orange & pretty, but not something I want to try at this time!  *laugh*).  Gorgeous!  







I hope to go back again, soon!!  


After I'd been home for awhile, I remembered that I want cinnamon rolls for breakfast tomorrow, so I made some.  They're Orange cinnamon rolls, and NUMMY for sure!  There may be one missing in this picture ... SCRUMPTIOUS!!  : )  (Also, how cute is my new pan?  *grin*)  






Until next time... what's your favorite sushi roll?  California, Philadelphia, Volcano, Spicy Tuna?  : )

oh my goodness! you need to eat the cooked rolls once in awhile so you can trick yourself into "sushi mode"!! plus, Plankton's worth it! ; )
