A Day of Creativity

Yesterday was a day of creativity for me. We decided that we wanted sushi for dinner but we didn't want to go out and spend money for it. So I went to the Commissary and purchased everything that we needed to make some sushi at home.
My experience wit hit was good. It is a lot of fun to do, but there are certain things that are harder than it looks. For example, washing  the rice took forever. The recipe said to keep rinsing the rice until the water was clear. It took more than two washes to get the water clear. After awhile it got irritating and boring to do but it was done. Cooking the rice on the stove was easy. My rice cooker broke so I couldn't use it.
I found these shrimp tempura already made at the store and I placed them in the oven to cook them. They were delicious. After that, I put the rice on the dried seaweed, ingredients and rolled. Rolling sushi is very hard and messy. Kudos to those who have a business on this and are experts because my first two rolls were a mess. The hubby said that the sushi was delicious. There were a few ingredients that I couldn't find but we made it work.
Later on last night we decided to go to the movies to watch Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2. We took the kids with us and we told Gabi that he was  going to see a dragon and a snake since he loves them. Overall  they behaved very well. The baby fell asleep as soon as the movie started and Gabi wouldn't stop talking about the dragon and  the snake. He was way to excited to see those two things and the castle together with the rest of the scenery.
The movie was good. I didn't read the last book but my husband said that it was very close to what the book was and that there was a lot of people that died in  the story and if they were to explain all of it in detail, the movie would've probably been rated R.
Overall it was a good day yesterday. Today we are going to make some chicken pinchos on  the grill. Updates to come on that later.
These are some photos from yesterday:







Gabi was upset because he is on a normal seat belt now.
