Jamesy's HOMEmade Sushi!

The only reason it's on paper plates is 'cause we didn't have any of our furniture or housewares moved in yet...;) James made the most gourmet meal that paper plates will ever see!
Jamesy's Crab/Avocado/Scallion Roll topped with Soy Sauce, a dot of Wasabi and Spicy Ginger Pickles...

Now, for the resident Vegetarian... An "inside-out" roll:




Sushi rice made with Sweet Mirin Wine and Rice Vinegar, Fresh Avocado, Japanese Cucumber, Spicy Sprouts and sliced Green Onion, sprinkled with Roasted Sesame Seeds... It was so delicious dipped in the Wasabi Soy Sauce.

As I've been posting this and looking at the pictures, it made me crave this again! Jamesy's in the kitchen now making us a second day batch...yay. Gotta go!

Wass'up "Home" Girl?

This blog is my way of documenting the life of BrookeWorm...an entity that moves effortlessly as one, yet has two completely different segments that work independently, as well;)

First, I will start with the status of our "apartment" saga (for those just tuning in to our Soap Opera) and then this blog will keep the people we love updated on "real life" things that we wouldn't post on our websites.
As of April 1st, we are IN our newly renovated HOME! They still have yet to finish some things, however. (as soon as we showed up to take possession of the apartment, the workers just stopped showing up in the morning, even though they easily had at least one full day of work before it was finished.)

I will be posting pix here, although they don't quite do it justice since I can't get sweeping views around each room. We are EXTREMELY happy to finally be "home" and to have an unrecognizable BRAND NEW full 2 bedroom pad in our same adorable-yet-hip East Village neighborhood.("...where everybody knows your name..")

We have also managed to keep our senses of humor and support for each other intact. I must say that, going on 2 1/2 years, we are an even stronger couple now than ever. Adversity has it's purpose and shows up occasionally to make you appreciate
life.
If it tells you anything about how proud and pleased we are, let me invite all of you to come visit us and see for yourselves! When did we ever say that before?! We will even have a guest bed in a month or so.
The furniture/life possesions blog has yet to be written, because that question is still up in the air...We are hoping to hire movers to move a lot of stuff instead of a little bit of stuff next week. As of now, we only know that our stainless appliances made it through to being installed and we're comfy on an aero-bed. (Areo-bed on this week's program provided by: Craig n Cami!)
Thanx sooo much to you guys for all of your love, support & encouragement through all the things we've been going through. If you're receiving this blog, it's because we love you very much and consider you family. Come on in, take off your coat and stay a while...
