I Am a Nori Roll.

Green and Black.

(Nope, not the chocolate…)

The colour of NORI ROLLS, obvss!

I rolled out of bed woke up this morning in a state of pure bliss (okay, lies! I had woken up from a dream where I was driving in a car with my zoology TA…).  I then precipitated to the washroom where I do what I do everyday.  Bristles and teeth.  Wanna see what my toothbrush looks like?!

Well, I guess that’s not really fair because half of him is inside my mouth.  Still.

After enjoying some verses from the books of Acts, I got ready for school, ate my breakfast, and with 10 minutes left to spare, I couldn’t help but pop onto my google reader (I know, I know, I’m addicted for sure.)

But boy, am I ever glad I did.

Meghan had just posted this easy-peasy-throw-together recipe (the best kind) for mushroom nori rolls.  How timely.  Lately, I have been in terrible despair at my nori-rolling capabilities (or rather, lack thereof) and had almost given up entirely on them, much in the same way as I have collard wraps.  BUT! After glancing at the ingredients list for Meghan’s recipe, I just knew I had to do it.  It was now or never, friends!

When I got back from school, it was lunch time.  I had originally planned to make the nori rolls for dinner but I figured, hey what gives? I wanted to make them NOW!

So – remember last night’s shiitake mushroom and black fungus stir-fry?  The half of an avocado left in my fridge? (Okay fine so I didn’t tell you about the last one.  But let’s just pretend I did for serependipity’s sake.) It was perfect!  Equipped with all the ingredients I needed (count ‘em – 3!), I made sure to read up on Meghan’s short and sweet little sushi rolling tutorial and voilà! I was ready to roll (pun intended, har har har)!

Look at them, all cute and ready to go…

The result?  Squishy and scrumptious.  Just the way I like ‘em.  (Again, being Asian here implies a certain fondness for textures and tastes that others may find repulsive…)  In fact, they were so divine that I decided to make another batch, but this time with another component of yesterday’s leftovers: spaghetti squash!  (I may or may not have had culinary foresight and visions of yellow stringy things popping out of the nori rolls – very aesthetically enticing, indeed…)

Um, can I get a bolded yum?

Um, yum.  Om, yom.  Om nom. Om nom nom nom…

(Okay, now this post is just getting ridiculous…)

But seriously.

Do you know what’s even more ridiculous? Realizing that the ridiculous toothbrushing pictures you took this morning reveal you as being a nori roll!! GREEN AND BLACK!!!

WHOA, TALK ABOUT BEING RIDICULOUS.

I am NOT ridiculous. I am NO ridiculous.  I am NO-RIDICULOUS. I AM NORI-DICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

(Fortunately, this post is about to end soon.)

(If anyone wants to know, I do not drink coffee.)

I just go to school, listen to this woman speak about microbial ecology, and make nori rolls.

What can I say?

Oh, stop that.  Wipe that smirk off your face.

I can see the toothpaste coming out of your mouth.
