Last night we made our own sushi for the first time. I can’t eat raw fish these days, but have been craving sushi so we got some imitation crab and made california rolls that were actually quite good. Nate also wanted to make a fresh fruit danish similar to the ones from Porto’s (which if you haven’t tried we strongly recommend.) The danishes turned our to be more like orange flavored custard cups and we agreed that we did not want to eat them again. So Nate got the great idea to take them to our sunday school class as our donation to the snack table. He was happy to report that by the end of class all the custard cups had been taken and we didn’t see any half eaten ones in the trash. I’ve decided that I don’t like anything made with orange zest as am ain ingredient and I think it all started with some orange chicken from my childhood.
Tomorrow is Nate’s birthday. He’ll be 25. It will be low key this year - hanging out with family and eating some pie. Several months ago we bought some tickets to see Wynton Marsalis at the Disney Center on Feb. 1 and that’s kind of a late birthday/ early Valentines Day thing that we’ll be doing.
I’ve been really starting to feel the early pregnancy nausea lately. It usually hits early afternoon and lasts the rest of the day. I have found that so far it feels as if I’ve been in the back seat of a crowded car with hot stale air during a winding drive up the side of a mountain. Bleh. But we’re happy that things are progressing and Nate reminds me daily, “A sick mommy means a healthy baby.” It helps get me through.
Our friend Beckah is coming today to visit today and we’re very excited. We haven’t seen her since we bought our puppies so we’re really looking forward to catching up.
