California Roll Sushi

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked short-grain white rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  •  
  • 1/2 cup imitation crabmeat, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 8 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 cucumber, cut into thin spears
  • 2 avocados - pitted, peeled, and sliced the long way

Directions

  1. Wash the rice in several changes of water until the rinse water is no longer cloudy, drain well, and place in a covered pan or rice cooker with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover the pan. Allow the rice to simmer until the top looks dry, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, and let stand for 10 minutes to absorb the rest of the water.
  2. Mix the rice vinegar and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved, and stir the mixture into the cooked rice until well combined. Allow the rice to cool, and set aside.
  3. Mix the imitation crabmeat with mayonnaise in a bowl, and set aside. To roll the sushi, cover a bamboo rolling mat with plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the plastic wrap. With wet fingers, firmly pat a thin, even layer of prepared rice over the nori, leaving 1/4 inch uncovered at the bottom edge of the sheet. Sprinkle the rice with about 1/2 teaspoon of sesame seeds, and gently press them into the rice. Carefully flip the nori sheet over so the seaweed side is up.
  4. Place 2 or 3 long cucumber spears, 2 or 3 slices of avocado, and about 1 tablespoon of imitation crab mixture in a line across the nori sheet, about 1/4 from the uncovered edge. Pick up the edge of the bamboo rolling sheet, fold the bottom edge of the sheet up, enclosing the filling, and tightly roll the sushi into a cylinder about 1 1/2 inch in diameter. Once the sushi is rolled, wrap it in the mat and gently squeeze to compact it tightly.
  5. Cut each roll into 1 inch pieces with a very sharp knife dipped in water.

    Missing Summer

    The swimming pool. I so love having a pool during the summer. It is the best thing ever. You can tan and get exercise all at the same time. Growing up I would have done anything to have a pool in our back yard. I would have spent everyday of each summer swimming around having a blast. I grew up in Casper Wyoming and we had the Platte River and a place we called the spillway. It was like a water slide but concrete, it ran into the river. The spillway probably wasn't the best place to go swimming but all the kids in the area did it anyway. I think I had my first kiss while at the spillway. A boy named Chris Beadle. He was older than me but I had such a crush on him. I was 12 he was 15, it was beginning to get dark, he walked me down hand in hand into a wooded area where all the older kids went to make out. I was so nervous my hands were shaking. When we stopped he pulled me close to him and I could feel his breath on my neck as he spoke. "I want to kiss you." I just looked up at him, closed my eyes and puckered up. My first kiss was the best, I can still feel the butterflies in my stomach and it was over 20 years ago. But a first kiss with each new guy is always wonderful.
    This is our front yard during the summer. It is so beautiful when everything is green, bright, and warm. We have gold fish living in the little pond along with the occasional frog. But they have to watch out for the neighborhood cats, there is a white cat that hangs out here like it is a buffet, eating our poor little gold fish. But that's life for you, watch out!

    13 Great Hairstyles



    A Tight Braid

    Apply gel to your roots and use a brush to pull hair into a high ponytail. Then braid the tail, securing the ends with an elastic. It's good for a party, because it looks great with a cocktail dress.

    SEXY WAVES

    For this laid-back surfer-girl look, all you need if you have wavy hair is some beach spray and a diffuser.Saturate damp hair with a texturizing spray, such as Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray; then dry with a diffuser attached to your blow-dryer. For straight hair, twist dry four-inch chunks haphazardly around a big-barrel curling iron instead, then mist with the spray. (By the way, you can use actual salt water to create these waves—it really works!)

    A BLUNT CUT

    Long layers are unfailingly pretty—don't get us wrong—but updating your look with a more severe cut like this one is a quick way to add drama to straight hair. Here's what to ask your stylist for: A cut that's "blunt at the shoulders and has strong fringe.The sides and back are slightly layered to create the thatchy, wispy look." To style it, pull out pieces on the sides and mist all over with hair spray to hold the sharp, graphic shape.

    A MINI POMPADOUR

    Not all poufs are created equal—and this one is definitely more sophisticated, less Snooki. For this half-up style, grab the section of hair on the top of the head between the temples and tease it at the roots to create height. Smooth it out with your fingers and pin down the hair at the center of your crown; let the rest loose.

    A HIGH BUN

    The key to this roughed-up bun is in the texture. Blow-dry hair while tousling it with your hands, then use your fingers to rake it into a high ponytail at the top of your head. Tease the entire tail, twist it, and then wrap it into a loose bun, pinning it into place. Finish with a light mist of flexible-hold hair spray.

    A SEXY SHAG

    These layers add some attitude to shorter hair. To style them set two- to three-inch sections of the hair at your crown with Velcro rollers. Blast them with hot air from your blow-dryer, then let your hair down after it's cooled. Brush it with your fingers, then pull out pieces of hair and mist their ends with hair spray for a piecey, textured effect.

    A SCARF WRAP

    Big, soft waves give this style a really romantic feel. If you have straight hair, wrap sections in figure eights around a double-barrel curling iron. Make a center part and pull hair into a low ponytail; secure with an elastic. Brush out the hair in the tail, then tie a thick, colorful printed scarf—or even a piece of fabric—around the elastic.

    ACCESSORIZED UPDO

    A seemingly simple chignon is suddenly dressed up when you add a jeweled comb or barrette. Slide it in right above and behind the ear so you can't see it from the front. It's a good place for an accessory, especially if you're going to be wearing earrings.

    ROUGHED UP

    Sleek and shiny isn't the only way to play it straight; a slightly disheveled finish is irresistibly cool. Spritz roots with a volumizer, then blow-dry using a paddle brush. Don't dry it 100 percent, though. A little moisture left in the hair to air-dry will coax some frizz. Use your fingers to tousle your roots, too.

    A MODERN FLIP

    Want the glamour of a modern-day Betty Draper? Use jumbo hot rollers to secure two-inch sections of hair, making sure the ends are curved outward (this will give you that signature 1960s flip)Once hair is set, wait 15 minutes, then brush it out. Tease the front section at the crown, then pin it back.

    A SIDE BRAID

    This style has a pretty finishing touch. Pull back wavy hair and shift it over to one side of your neck, letting face-framing pieces fall free. Begin braiding at the nape,  then tie it. Wrap a small section of hair from the ends over the cord to hide it; use a small bobby pin to fasten.

    VOLUMIZED BLOWOUT

    To get loads of volume, run mousse through damp hair, then pick up your blow-dryer and round brush. Start blow-drying hair to the side immediately. Then wrap sections of hair around the brush, holding each in place for a few seconds so that you're using the brush as a Velcro roller, heating the hair on it instead of pulling it smooth. When you're finished drying, rub a dab of pomade over your fingers, then use them to tousle the ends.

    A FISHTAIL BRAID

    Love a side braid but want to make it a little more interesting? Make it a fishtail, which requires weaving two sections of hair instead of three. First divide the hair into two sections, then pull a few strands from the outside of one section and weave it over to the underside of the second section; repeat the same motion from the opposite side. Keep alternating until you reach the end, then secure with an elastic. To dress up the style, wrap a scarf around your head like a headband and tie it in a messy knot or bow.

    This is a great video for wavy beach hair with a Straight Iron.

    Wet Seal Order is here

    I made my order on the 11 of February and It arrived on the 17th. I am excited, I love the little yoga shorts. I am almost certain that I would never leave my house in them, but I will do yoga at home with them, my hubby enjoys it immensely. I love, love the Tunnel Tank, it's so comfy, soft and it fits so well. The other tank is pretty nice as well. The only complaint I have is with the dolphin shorts, they are too big. But I can use them to sleep in them instead of running in them. Here is what came in the order and a great picture from me.

    1 of Tunnel T-Back Tank $4.00
    1 of Rib Tank Top $4.00
    1 of Dolphin Short $4.00
    1 of Fold Over Yoga Short $4.00
    1 of Solid Rollover Yoga Short $4.00


    I also finally got around to going to a Target and buying the little jacket I really wanted. I use the last of the Money on the Target gift card I was given for Christmas from my wonderful little sister. She has always been a great gift giver. The Jacket was $37.00 with tax, and the gift card had $20.00 left on it so I only had to pay $17.00 for it. Here's a picture of it that I took here in my room.
    Tell me what you think about the clothes, jacket or whatever you want to share with me I am here. Leave a comment and become a follower before you leave.

  • Valentines Outfit- From my closet-

    Here is the cute little outfit I am going to be wearing for Valentines. The dress is kind of short so I have to wear leggings with it. And I love my boots. I bought the dress from Wet Seal for about $10.00, the boots came from Wet Seal for about $40.00, and the leggings came from Wet Seal for about $5.00. The nail polish came from CVS for $1.99. So let me know what you think by leaving a comment.

    Romantic Restaurant

    I found this place on a yahoo web thing, one of the most romantic restaurants in the world. This place looks great. I would love to go and check it out some day, have a romantic lunch with my hubby , the sound of the waterfall just outside the window. It would be so wonderful.
    Simon Pearce Restaurant

     

    Glassmaker Simon Pearce’s restaurant, housed in a restored mill overlooking the falls of Vermont’s Ottauquechee River and its covered bridge, is a food destination worth its out-of-the-way address. The exposed-brick and blond wood terrace dining room—hanging over the falls—is open and airy in the summer and fully glass-encased during winter. Ask for “table #5,” an intimate two-seat table set directly over the rushing river.

    Proactive-Update-

    2 Days in and my skin is beginning to dry out.  I can already tell that this stuff isn't going to last long at all. They don't fill these tiny little bottles with much of the product.
    The face wash feels like I'm washing my face with sand. The Toner smalls really bad, what were they thinking? My repairing cream was a really small bottle and also was like half full. Although the green tea moisturizer was in a tiny little bottle I actually like it. It smells really nice but it doesn't last long on the face. It seems that after I apply it a few hours late my face is still really dry. I haven't noticed any different in my face, with pimples or blackheads, but it has only been a few days. I will get back to this subject in a week and see where I am then.

    Outfit of the Week- Week Three

    Here is a good Winter outfit. Seeing how it is Winter and all my outfits are for Summer I thought I would go ahead and make up a Winter outfit instead of another Summer one. I am a huge fan of shorts, everyone knows that but I often wear jeans as well when it is colder. These are  my favorite jeans, Almost Famous, is there brand name and I bought them at Ross for around $15.00 maybe even cheaper. It has been a few years so I am not entirely sure what the price was.



    This is just a simple undershirt I picked up at, you guessed it, Ross for around $3.99. I really like to where grey and the lace on the bottom and around the top makes this top so cute.
    I bought this sweater Ross for around $7.99. It is really light and airy so really it might not be the best sweater for really cold weather. You could always put a long sleeve shirt underneath it that would keep you warmer in much colder weather.

    I bought these neat little shoes at Target. They were in clearance for $4.99. I can't believe it either but I was so happy to find them. I almost had to fight a lady over them but my hubby is really intimidating and people usually don't get to close to us. I love shopping with him because it keeps all the crazy bitches trying to gab up the stuff I am going for at bay.:)

    I am keeping the accessories simple because during winter I don't tend to wear to many accessories.  Just some earrings, a cute ring and a necklace, A of coarse for Alissa. So I hope you like this weeks outfit. If you have any questions or just have something to say just leave a comment, I love to hear from anyone really.

    What's in my bag

    So I thought it would be neat to do a blog about what I carry around with me in my bag everyday. I always bring my bag no matter where I am going, at least as long as I am leaving my house I take my bag with me.

    As you can see I have here my first wallet which I bought from Target a few weeks ago for $9.99. Second my brush which I bought from Ross for $3.99. Third you can see my keys which open my doors and start my cars. Forth is my make-up bag which you will see the content of it later. I bought this from Target as well for $1.99. Fifth is my MP3 player I bought from Wal-Mart for $79.00. I really love it, it works really well and I haven't come close to filling it up. Last but not least, or maybe it is, my little compact mirror. I bought this from Claires in one of our malls around here and I think it was $4.99 in clearance. I bought this my last birthday.


    Here are the items that are in the pink/butterfly make-up bag. First my little floss stick things and my gum, I always need these just in case we ever eat out and I need to clean my teeth up a little. I carry gum where ever I go. Second a little thing of Deodorant. You never want to smell bad from B.O. Third I like to take along with me a little bit of make-up just in case I ever need to touch up my face. Some powder, concealer, eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss and eyeshadow stick.

    Here we have a few different breath savors, tick tacks and whatnot, you never want to have bad breath. Some more lip gloss can be seen at the bottom right. I keep a little notebook with me just in case along with my little green address book, I got from target for $7.99. On the address book there area few hair things and a nail file. The green case at the top is where I keep my checkbook and other important things.

    So now you know what I keep in my bag, what kinds of things do you always keep with you? If you have any questions or comments go ahead and leave a comment, I will respond always. So make sure you check back often.

    Proactive

    I ordered and received my Proactive package. It came with Renewing Cleanser 2 FL., Revitalizing Toner 2 FL., Repairing Treatment 1 FL., Refining Mask 1 OZ., Green Tea Moisturizer .33 FL OZ., and of coarse that stuppid little book that they say is worth $12.00 and I say is worth nothing. It is a little silly just how small these bottle are, it's crazy. So I will try it out tonight before bed and then again in the morning. I will keep at it and use all of the product keeping everyone in the loop about how my skin changes or not changes. I don't have a terrible acne problem just a few break-outs every now and then but I would love to not have those and just have clear beautiful skin. I hate break-outs.
    If you have used Proactive please leave a comment and tell me about your experience with it. I would love to know what happen with your skin, if it worked or didn't help at all.

    Outfit of the Week- Week Two

    This is a great summer outfit and sometimes because of the crazy weather in North Carolina I often get to wear it even in the winter.
    I bought this shirt at Khols and only paid about $4.00 for it because it was in clearance. If you read my blogs often you will notice that I get allot of my stuff from the clearance areas. It's the same stuff as the rest of the store just extremely cheaper. I love it.

    I love these flip flops, they are so comfortable and easy to wear. They are cushy and soft. I found these at my local CVS store right down the street from my house. They were of coarse in clearance for $4.00, so cheap but so wonderful.
    I love these shorts. I haven't worn them through the summer yet because I just bought them this Christmas with my X-Mas money. I found them at Khols in clearance for $7.00. They are so comfortable and soft and I just love them. I always use to say that I didn't like cut off short and would never wear them. Now I couldn't bare to lose these cut off shorts. I am totally sold on cut off shorts, well at least these ones.

    So what do you think about this weeks "Outfit of the Week"? Leave a comment and let me know.
