Day 16: "Fruit-shi"

Day 16 Fruit-shi
Man, sometimes I even astound myself with my cleverness. :P Can you guess which fruits I used to make the "sushi"? What about the "California roll"? "Fruit-shi" recipe to come. Eventually. Bwahaha! I'm loving this month of mostly pictures, fewer words. ;) Can you believe I've had this sitting in my queue since September? ***** 1 year ago today, my attempt to start an "Ask WC" series fizzled into a tutorial on "how to fold a chopsticks rest." Although, I am still working on a FAQs post so drop a comment here if you've got some questions you're just dying to ask me.

    Do I see mango and watermelon in the background? I think that would be fun. My grandpa used to eat watermelon dipped in fish sauce with his rice (along with other dishes). It was actually quite refreshing during the summer.

    my auntie used to give me rice with mango and fish sauce and the combination is pretty good to be honest. I bet there's avocado somewhere in there.

    That's really clever, Wandering Chopsticks!I see: green apple, fuji apple, mango or peach, cereal (? for sesame seeds)...
    Really cool! I also like your idea of photos for a month- as I like to visit your website everyday for updates.

    Jaded,
    Nah, this was from way back. And I was too lazy to make anything Irish.

    BC,
    I used sticky rice so it'd be more dessert-like.

    Christine,
    Yup. I like my watermelon with salt. But I like my mangoes and grapes with soy sauce and chili peppers. :)

    Hedgehog,
    Avocado was the easiest to incorporate since it's already used in regular sushi.

    Danielle,
    Hmm. I'll think about it. I'm trying to take it easy this month. Perhaps your cooking group can try one of my other recipes?

    Jessy,
    Thanks!

    WSL98787,
    No peach or cereal. I normally post everyday anyway, when I get around to it. But you're always welcome to check in.

    MCR,
    Watermelon was alright. Mango was easy. Just tastes like mangoes with sticky rice.

    Daphne,
    No peach or guava. But right on all the others.

    Kevin,
    Thanks!

    I'm hoping that coconut sticky rice and not regular rice.
