Sushi Sushi Suhi

I've been craving.........now you can to, or even better have your own party.....

How to prepare for Sushi Party (making sushi rolls):


1.Cut ingredients into sticks or slices.
2. Place the ingredients on a large plate.
3. Cut nori seaweed into small squares. (*cut a sheet of nori into quarters.)
4. Prepare sushi rice and put it in a large bowl or a large plate. (I suggest using a decorative dish.)
5. Provide a spatula with a large bowl of sushi rice so that guests can scoop the rice.
6. Serve soysauce with a tab of wasabi in a small dish for each guest for dipping sushi.
7. Place some dishes of pickled ginger on the table.
8. Prepare a wet hand towel for each guest for cleaning hands.

Common Ingredients:
Avocado, cucumber, scallops, sweet omelet, raw tuna, raw salmon, crab meat, squid, salmon egg, lettuce, and more.


But if all else fails - there's always rice, beans and plantain.......

African's on the run in OZ - I'm not Thelma, and he's not Louise!

A Prison Officer and an a Soilder, the vast Australian outback, boxing, car chases, a jilted lover. This is bigger than Thelma and Louise. This is the story of - Iddi and Karim.

To some the Commonwealth Games 2006 in Melbourne Australia was just the beginning. Although it ended last weekend, some of our african collegues decided to extend their stay. You have to feel for the guy's 17 year old new wife, stuck back in that 2 room flat back in Tanzania, with the in-laws.

I love the non-chalant response of the Tanzanian authorities, 'hey it happens all the time.'

All i can say is Run Forest Run!!!!!!!

I'm French and I'm a Racist...well, of the 1,011 surveyed

To be honest, I've been stuck in a huge pile of work of late, thus the blog becomes secondary. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. Indeed! But I'm doing dull with grace and style, TV has become my medium of expression, and all the thrash that gets shown on E! and MTV...although i'm rather enjoying Run's House. It's sad, i know, but right now, when i do get free time, i'm having to struggle against the desire NOT to engage my brain.

A friend sent me this link today French Racists! I love the options,

'somewhat racist, a bit racist, not racist, not very racist, not racist at all and don't want to say'

Monsieur Le Pen must be rubbing his hands. The world...oh the world...it's getting smaller....borders for trade etc...but there are consequences....there always will be.

Census

Nigeria is gripped at the moment, by the on going census. No Religion. No Ethnicity. Those are the talking points...oh how far we've come. At least it moves the talk away from the, 'Will he or won't he', 3rd term debacle.

If i was in Lagos, i could be sleeping right now, since Mr Tinabu, has restricted movement from Tues-Friday between 8am-3pm. Instead I'm in PH, trying to get some work done, I think the census here is going to be on Friday, no work for all.

I hope the census works, although i heard the 'biafrian revolution army', have kidnapped the poor souls given the task of collecting the data in that area.

Arise all......
