Last night's dinner party

Last evening, Elise invited a number of the night-shift nurses over for a dinner party. (Started in time for anyone working to still be able to make it and go to work.) There were five that came.

The menu I planned was Japanese and Indian. (Our kids thought that combination was a bit odd...)
  • Chirashi-sushi (sushi rice mixed with seasoned shiitake mushrooms, french cut green beans, eggs, sesame seed, pickled ginger, and sprinkled with finely cut seaweed)
  • Hosomaki-sushi (rolled sushi each with one of seasoned and braised carrots, seasoned egg, or cucumber with a touch of wasabi)
  • Inari-sushi (seasoned tofu pockets filled with sushi rice)
  • Kuromame (sweet seasoned black beans)
  • Cauliflower and kidney beans curry
  • Basmati rice
  • Vanilla ice cream with mandarin orange and cinnamon topping

The guests said that Elise is spoiled...
