First New Apartment Potluck

As Lemony Snicket once said, "The world is quiet here."

Nicole's pumpkin cookies were fluffy and delicious

It was fun getting together with old friends, sighing nostalgically over the food we just ate, and exuding ideas for the next get together. This was oddly the first time I made sushi, and it was so quick and easy! I was very nervous, but everyone seemed to like it. My secret: add a touch of cream cheese to give the rice a sweet and savory touch. My roommate accidentally got the spreadable kind, but next time I would get the cream cheese they sell in blocks, so you can cut it as you would the other ingredients. Other ingredients to make delicious, vegetable sushi (just cut into slivers):

• carrots
• avocado
• cucumber
• imitation (tofu) crab

Next time I might try egg or salmon, but so many of my friends are converting into vegans nowadays. It was so easy, I even drew this lo-tech graphic, just for you. Everyone should make sushi.
