salmon onigiri

Chicago is starting to get festive. Despite the blizzard last night, people came in droves to K and my holiday party. We weren't expecting more than 5 people, but we had a healthy 20.

Since moving here I've felt always one-step off with the world. Last night spoke volumes of what can be. I'm excited.

K went crazy as usual whipping up a frenzy of treats. But not to brag or anything, but i rolled up my sleeves and contributed as well. We made salmon onigiri balls. We put the nori strips in a tall shot glass. The idea is to have everybody use it as a "napkin" to pick up the rice.


We also made mozzarella and cherry tomato halves:
Yummy! ok, well now we have a ton of clean up to do...
