After all, you did marry him for a reason, and it's nice to actually see him once in a while and notice all of those reasons and more! For example, when you got married, you didn't know you were marrying a sushi roll aficionado. Heck, you didn't even know you liked sushi!
Two years of marriage is barrelling toward us and about to zip past like a beemer on 270. (In non-rush hour, of course.) We're finding more and more that it's really easy to let life fly by without taking a break to hang out with each other, what with middle school English to teach, a new screen door to install, and cats to toilet train. (No, I'm not kidding.) But we sure to love to hang out with each other, and when we do, a sushi date is always in order.
Sushi is pretty easy to come by gluten-free. You just need to make sure to speak with your sushi chef. Be sure to do the following:
1. Ask the chef if the rice has any wheat starch or gluten added to it to make it stickier. Sometimes a hidden trick!
2. Ask the chef the rice was cooked with soy sauce. Most all soy sauce has gluten.
3. Check that the individual items do not include soy sauce or tempura in the dressings and such. Sometimes sushi rolls will have battered or fried pieces of fish. Simpler is better; be sure you know each kind of fish, veggie or other ingredient that will be added.
4. Bring your own gluten-free soy sauce. La Choy low-sodium is our favorite.
5. Go on a perfect, lovely, first real night of warm summer, sit outside and stare dreamily at your man.
Actually, that last step is optional. But I wouldn't miss it for the world!
