A Birthday, Adventure and Sushi

Alrighty. We have had quite the week. It started off with a bang on Monday. Daniel's Birthday! I made his favorite cake, and a card. I bought presents and cut out balloons to make it festive. Daniel Loved it.

Then Saturday after looking at a house we decided to take a trip up north to Fredericksburg. It's a cute little town that was settled by a German colony. It is on what is referred to as "the Hill Country".

There were a few Antique shops that we stopped in. I LOVE teacups and china. They had this set for china, plates, bowls, saucers, cups.... but a bit out of our price range and I couldn't justify buying it at this time.... Maybe some day I'll have a nice china set. And I'm always looking for teacups, so some time I'll find a new one for my collection.

While touring shops we found a Japanese serving set that was a good deal. We got 2 of everything. So Daniel decided it was time to start learning to make sushi. So we bought a bamboo mat, seaweed and all the good stuff. Our first roll... well.... I got too much rice and forgot to flip it, so the seaweed was on the outside.. Daniel put too much in it so it didn't close and thus didn't stay together.

Our second roll turned out nicely though.
