I'm not only an artist, but also a weeb, a lot of my art is influenced by japanese manga, I am but another victim of their propaganda, love their video games, their music and manga/anime (Specially the niche ones, you won't see me watching Jujutsu Kaimid or One mid), but above all these, I love Japanese food a lot, that's why I am even working on a comic about it! So, as a creative, it is no brainer that I want to try and cook some myself!

I have been trying it since I was in High school, and it kinda sucked, Sushi is one of those recipes that look easier to prepare than it is, trust me, it's waaaay too easy to fuck it up, I kinda gave up some years ago, but then lately, I decided I should try again and take a different approach, instead of buying expensive shit like salmon, avocado, or crab imitation, I'll just start simple, I decided to cook what's known as "Kappa Maki", just Nori seaweed, rice and cucumbers. That's where the name for that horrible Nickelodeon cartoon came from, btw. So I tried again... And I am happy with the results... This is the first attempt I made on Tuesday 24 of this year.

Cut ain't that good, and I have a hard time properly spreading the rice, also had a hard time cutting it hence why the different sizes. I decided to change to a sharper knife and learn how to spread it better... And so I tried today again.

Again, problems with how I spread the rice, specially on the sides... I ate them so you can't see them but they looked god awful, lol; the cut has improved, tho. The overall presentation and taste? Amazing! And is not because I am making these myself, I genuenly enjoy sitting and eating them, although... Sometimes it is not the same when you make them than when someone else makes them for you, you know? Anyway, Maybe next time I'll finally try again with Imitation crab, cucumber and cream cheese, or maybe I can buy some Tampico Salsa, Sushi with Tampico is amazin! Some people might consider putting other than just a cut of fish a sin, but I am no stickler for how to make REAL sushi. So yeah, just wanted to share this.
