When the mad sushi cravings hit . . . I REALLY miss Santa Clara.

When David and I were first married, I was attending law school, and we were living in a 300 square foot box.  (Curse that California cost of living!)  But we sure loved that box.  We had a great location in Santa Clara–directly across from the university, down the street from a weekly farmer’s market, and in the middle of foodie heaven.  Incredible italian. (I miss you, Mio Vicino, and your garlic soaked clams . . .) Backyard BBQ. (Dear Andy’s, please send me some of your awesome sauce.) Annnnnnnd SUSHI.

Cheap sushi.  And not puking-into-the-gutter-five-minutes-after-you-leave cheap sushi.  QUALITY cheap sushi. David and I always ordered one roll too many and spread the feast out on a blanket on the floor of our apartment.  After eating so much our tummies hurt, David would sigh and say it was his husbandly duty to finish the sushi, such that none was wasted.  I don’t where he packed that last roll, but he always managed to do it.

Now we are in the beautiful Rocky Mountains . . . where the sun always shines and the snow falls . . . 1,000 MILES from the ocean.  (Dear Denver, I really do love you.  Please forgive me for what I say during the mad sushi cravings.)

BUT!  We have super easy sushi lunch on the go! Let’s be honest . . . I’m always eating lunch on the go. Highly ineffective habit of the overworked lawyer. But this sushi makes me feel like I’m taking a moment out of my busy day to be indulgent. Bonus that this lunch is definitely low-carb.  And if you’re feeling EXTRA lazy like me (or you have a grocery like ours where ripe avocados are ne’er to be seen), you can buy the little tubs of avocado. You’ll be surprised by how much you don’t miss the rice.  And the endless combinations of sushi are as long as your takout sushi menu!

Don’t forget the sake!  (Kidding. Don’t take sake to work. Or on the go.)

    This is such a wonderful idea! My daughter LOVES sushi, I'm too intimidated to make it homemade ( I've witnessed my sister-in-law who is a chef FAIL), we live in Kansas (so I feel your Denver pain), and so whenever I decide to indulge her, it costs a small fortune! Thank you so much for an affordable and non-intimidating way for me to prepare her favorite food at home!

      Lol. I totally understand! David and I have done homemade sushi and it takes forever! For this, it's really easy to dump the various ingredients on the table and have at it!

    What a fun idea. I'm thinking not just lunch to go but wicked party food as well. The sushi isn't horrible where I live but I feel your pain. It's just better in the Bay Area. There's a couple places on El Camino Real I try to get to when I'm around. Will be trying this one soon.

      Totally there with you! I hadn't thought of serving it as an app, but that's a brilliant idea!
