Greetings from Alaska

[PrincessinAK]

Just wanted to say hello! I have been reading alot of posts and can't believe all the tips I have already picked up here! I'm so excited! I love to cook for my family and we LOVE to eat!

Sometimes I have to remind myself that to practice eating to live NOT living to eat. Hee-hee

Bye for now! :0)

Here is a picture I have uploaded of a teenage bullmoose who was "caught" on camera trespassing on our lawn last month (we didn't mind, he's so cute) http://members.sparedollar.com/anisah/moose1.jpg

Hi KadesMa! It's nice to meet you too! I'm really enjoying browsing around DC and you folks are sooo friendly! I have picked up alot of helpful hints so far and I can't wait until I can add some of my own tips.

I love baking and really enjoy ethnic foods. My hubby and I are hooked on sushi which we just tried recently for the first time. I think I'll go do a search for sushi on DC and see what comes up. I'd love to know how to make a spicy california roll!

How FUN this place is! :0)

 

[texasgirl]

This a thread I started on the same thing princess. I never got to try it since I can't find any stores near me with the stuff I need.

Absolutely amazing pics PrincessinAK - great pics

 

[PrincessinAK]

Thanks TexasGirl for that link! Did you ever get all your sushi ingredients together? Ooh if I can learn to make this stuff I will be sooo pleased! Hubby has spent $200 (ouch) on sushi lunches already this month and our cravings are not letting up! lol.


Kitchenelf~What kind of ferocious animal is that? Looks very dangerous! You're luckky your DH was there to save you!

 

[kitchenelf]

Princess - we make sushi quite a bit - PM me or use my e-mail and I'll find out your likes and dislikes - I went through a period of craving sushi also - I ate it at LEAST 5 times a week - my poor family ate cheaply then!!!!! E-mail me about it, ok?

Thanks also

Oh my, elf, how did you keep that beast from sinking his FURocious teeth into your husband

 

[texasgirl]

No princess, I never got the chance to make anything!! I love california rolls but noone else in my house will eat them, so, it would be a waste of time and gas to go looking for any of the ingredients. Hope yours come out wonderful though. Do you careflight??

 

[kitchenelf]

Oh my, elf, how did you keep that beast from sinking his FURocious teeth into your husband

it just wasn't his time Texasgirl - it just wasn't his time!!!!

 

[PrincessinAK]

Texasgirl what ingredients did you need? If it wasn't fish or anything perishable maybe I could help? I'd be happy to send you the seaweed wrappers, wasabi, sushi rice etc. We have a great city market that has loads of international type foods.

Do I careflight? I don't know what that is.

 

[PA Baker]

Welcome, Princess! AK has always been on my list of places I want to visit someday! I love moose so the picture of your front yard just convinced me I have to visit sooner than later!

 

[texasgirl]

What a lucky man, WHEW!! He needs to be more careful with the wildlife.

I meant for you to send your finished sushi care package to me

Truthfully, the only thing that I can find down here is the fish and soy sauce. That is how bad it is here. I can probably find some things on the internet, I think. I'll figure out the cost of things and if you can get them and mail them cheaper, I'll pm you.
Thanks!!
