Daydreaming About Housewares & Sushi
>> Monday 1 March 2010
Besides watching the Olympics this weekend, I spent a lot of substantial time daydreaming about owning the cutest, most fabulous house or cottage. I spent far too much time thinking about home bars and accent pillows, beautiful kitchen appliances, chandeliers and natural lighting.
The ironic thing is that I don't feel guilty about it at all!
I feel inspired, fresh and motivated!
Soooooo motivated that I've signed up for a cooking demonstration on how to make sushi!
Okay, so I've made sushi before...and trust me, it wasn't pretty.
It tasted pretty good, but the california rolls turned out to be almost as big as cookies and were trying very hard to break away from the nori wrappers and scatter themselves over the plate.
Not very pretty at all.
This time when I make sushi, things will be very different. Not only will my sushi taste great *fingers crossed*, but it's also going to look great on a plate!
CSN has graciously offered me a couple of items from their wide ranging variety of products & brands in their 200+ stores to review and due to my upcoming sushi class, I've decided that reviewing sushi items is definitely the most appropriate! CSN is quite the setup...they have literally everything from bar stools to chandeliers to awesome modern home accents. Pretty much everything I was daydreaming about all weekend!
Alongside all the info I'll be giving you about making sushi, the demonstration and the photos (of which there will be lots), I'll also be reviewing these two items in the upcoming month and letting you know what I thought about them and CSN.
Alessi LilyBird Soy Sauce Container by Stefano Giovannoni
The Alessi Lily Bird Soy Sauce container..how cute is this? (And will hopefully stop me from dripping soy sauce all over the counter) This container is actually part of a collaboration between the National Museum of Taiwan and Alessi designer & architect Giovannoni.
I'll also be reviewing the Totally Bamboo Sushi Plate which is totally awesome, ecologically responsible, fair trade friendly and both lightweight AND durable.
No doubt that CSN will be making my sushi making a lot prettier...at least on a plate!
Thanks!

Oh man, I love me some gadgety stores like CSN!
Good luck making the sushi, I've made it a few times and every time it got better and better looking, it's been a while since I've made any though.
I'm not a fan of sushi-but I always daydream about cottages. This was made worse by staying in a cottage in Maine this past summer. I have cottage fever!!!!!
I've just checked out CSN, fabulous!
Although in defense of your sushi attempt in Scotland, it tasted fantastic and was very well done in comparison to any other non-sushi chef attempt I have seen.
You'll be practically professional!
