  3. Like Melanie, I was thinking my morning cereal was a little boring in comparison to your lovely food choices.
    It is great that you met Sue. You seem to be having such a terrific time. Glad you are also able to blog and let us know.
    Take good care ~ all of you.

  5. I'm drooling over the sushi too as it's close to lunch time here but can't imagine having it for breakfast though:)

  6. Sushi for breakfast reminds me of Frog Congee for breakfast in China. Give me sushi any day.

  10. My daughters loove sushi (tuna, lettuce and some mayo) although are decidedly hesitant when presented with wasabi.
    Lovely presentation and detail.

I'd love you to leave me a message. Tell me what you like - and what you don't. Just remember that this is what we do in our family - it doesn't have to be what you do in yours...
