Sushi!

I volunteer with the youth group at my church. I teach classes to a group of 12-14 yr old boys on Sunday and we also get together for activities on Wednesday evenings. One of the young men's favorite activities is to play soccer, basketball or just hang out in a nearby school gym.

On the 2nd of February, we had a sushi-making activity, which was a blast. Here, Gabriella shows us how to roll a sushi and then how to slice it. Tony and the youth had fun spreading the rice on the seaweed paper. And here's my first successful sushi.



The grand finale to our activity was a surprise visit by a sushi chef from Japan who just happened to be in Geneva and at our church that same hour! He rolled one of the kids creations and then masterfully sliced it.

We all applauded his work and he smiled and took a small bow. It was great fun, but I think I ate 3 too many sushi (everyone wanted me to taste theirs, including the sneaks who slathered on way too much wasabi sauce!).
