Sushi Night

There is a Belgian woman who you can hire to come to your home or business and teach sushi rolling techniques. She brings everything and then cleans it all up at the end, awesome! We had a great time Friday night with a few of our friends and the "Sushi girl."

My camera was doing funny things so there are only a few pictures but Rob is a great photographer and took some really great shots of the night. I will post his pictures when I get ahold of them.
