Signs and sushi

Summer is almost over and thus the projects are slowly coming to an end.  The past couple of weeks I've been working on finishing up some old projects inside the house.   Added the final trim to the kitchen backsplash, organized some closets, organized the garden shed, and spent some time figuring out costs to replace the old semi-existing fence.  

I did however make a couple of signs out of scrap wood.  Not sure of the placement of the letters yet.



Jennie has been watching old seasons of Top Chef, so of course I've watched a few with her.  It's help continue to motivate me and my love of cooking and creating in the kitchen.   I've been working on eating less meat after watching the documentary What the Health.   Made a tofu peanut butter pie (my baking skills are the worst) but it was still delicious.  Baking requires one to be precise with the ingredients and cooking, and that is quite difficult for me since I am a creative person who tends to think outside of the box. Other great vegetarian meals I've made were Tikal Gomen (Ethiopian), General Tso's cauliflower, Thai mango salad, zucchini Pad Thai, chickpea falafel, and mushroom and avocado/cucumber sushi.   



It's been years since I've hand rolled sushi, but I think they came out looking alright.
