The Kitchen

 Making Sushi with my mom

Sometimes there are new things you want to try to make with someone for fun. Well, one day my mom and I were at Walmart getting groceries when we came across a little section with things to make sushi. I begged my mom to let us get it. After we had got the groceries and stuff to make homemade sushi, we went back to my mom’s boyfriend’s house and we decided it would be better to wait until the next weekend to make the sushi so she took the stuff home and got the rest of the ingredients we needed. After that, the entire week that was the one thing I was looking forward to was going back to Iowa and making sushi with my mom.

Sunday arrives, we are at my moms in Iowa. She had gone to the store to get the crab meat and avocados. For the sushi, we needed seaweed, sticky rice, crab, avocados, shrimp, and teriyaki sauce. We start by placing the sticky rice on the stovetop and making that. While that was cooking we started cutting up and preparing the other ingredients. Once the rice was done to our best ability, we started to prepare the sushi. My mom and I had music jamming and we were singing and dancing. Anytime I get to see my mom now Ii cherish it since I don’t live with her anymore. I love being able to be in the kitchen with her cooking, even if she thinks that I'm annoying.
