Girls Night at Gemma's

Last night I went over my friend Gemma's house for a bit of a girly night in. Her friend, Louisa, who is also a dancer like Gemma, and who does the summer school that I was doing the past few years, was visiting from Leeds. We decided we'd do a bit of cooking whilst having our girly goss and then watch a movie.

A couple of months ago I helped Steve and Neil out on "Friday Night Food" at church. It was an oriental evening and they did lots of Chinese food, and I showed the guys how to make sushi. Gemma was there, tried our sushi (and survived!) and asked if I'd show her and Lou how to do it, which is how we ended up making sushi last night. We made ebi nigiri (which was surprisingly easy as I found the prawns already cooked and sliced at the Asian grocers in Brixton), various makizushi, and also inarizushi (we called them "sushi pockets" because they were little pockets of fried bean curd which you stuff sushi rice into).

Tasted pretty good, too!
