Tonight I bought cucumber and avocado sushi at the new sushi restaurant, Sushiana, in Highland Park, New Jersey. I had a sampling already – quite tasty! Saving the rest for my husband to enjoy. The owner says he will be having fish and chips and fish nuggets soon, so those sound like dishes my daughter might like (she has already said no thank you to sushi). The restaurant is kosher and serves only pareve food (no meat, chicken or dairy). I introduced him to Four Square today (I’m one check-in away from becoming Mayor; if you don’t know what that means, you are not missing much). At some point, I hope to introduce the topic of brown rice sushi (as opposed to white rice).
Do you like sushi? Do you like fish? Do you like fish sushi?
I’m too late to submit this to KCC, but here’s Batya’s wonderful Nisan KCC.
Update: See the Sushiana website (I built it). Now you all can enjoy sushi from Sushiana, even if just by looking at the images.
I placed and photographed natural and man made objects for the theme of green. How many green objects can you spot?
Thursday Challenge is “GREEN” (Fruit, Vegetables, Animals, Clothing, Vehicles,…)
Next Week: THREE (Triplets, Trio, Triptych, Triangle,…)
I decided to go for minimalist and photographed garlic cloves.
Thursday Challenge is “FOOD” (Food Markets, Ingredients, Cooking, Baking, Pots, Pans,…).
Next week is GREEN (Fruit, Vegetables, Animals, Clothing, Vehicles,…).
JPiX Spring 2012 is now live on Ilana-Davita’s blog. I hope you will take the time to visit and leave a comment on her blog and on the blogs of some of the photographers. I counted eighteen (18) photographers in this edition.
The next edition of JPiX, the Jewish Photo Bloggers’ Carnival, will be on this blog in late June. Submissions welcome!
Every year we decorate old oatmeal containers (and sometimes matza meal containers) with pictures and coat them with modge podge to create Purim gifts. We give these away to some of our friends. This year, my son decided to put comics and homemade Purim cards on his containers. My daughter opted for photos of her friends on her containers.

- On the blog Jewacious, there are often fabulous reviews of interesting books. For example, here’s a review of An Italian Renaissance: Choosing Life in Canada, by Robert Eli Rubinstein. “He writes forthrightly, but beautifully, detailing his parent’s journey to Canada, to start life anew, and unbeknownst to them, in a city that was filled with antisemitic individuals. His family and the other Jewish refugees were known as “greenies”, a derogatory term, and one used frequently when being spoken of. “
