My son ate his homework
And I documented the entire process. Well, most of it anyhow. See, it’s algae week in marine biology and one of his assignments was to make something edible from seaweed ( He has the wackiest teacher ever, you know). So Superboy decided to learn to make sushi. It’s something he’s been wanting to do for a long time now, and this was the perfect excuse. He found a recipe and instructions online, made a list, went shopping, and the next day was ready to”roll” (oh, I crack myself up, I tell you!)
Well, that rolling turned out to be quite a process!
He had to cook the rice…
chop the veggies…
slice the tuna and crab…
spread the rice on the nori…
spice it up with a little wasabi paste…
layer the meats and veggies…
roll it up…
slice it up…
step back to admire those pretty little circles of deliciousness…
serve it (place setting for two, please) with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and a bit of wasabi…
grab some chopsticks and enjoy!!!!
Homework never tasted quite so good!

Yummy! Nice to see all the senses engaged in learning.
So…um…I’m thinking that my invitation got lost in the mail?!
I love sushi. Love it love it love it LOVE it.
PS. Love the title of this post as well.
[big grin]
Wow those are really pretty rolls. Good job for his first time. Rolling sushi is not easy.
I like the way you roll when it comes to homeschooling. Superboy learns all sorts of great lessons and you get sushi!
And I’m with Margaret, the title of this post is awesome.
This post made me hungry
Oh my gosh that’s so darn cool! And that’s on my list of things to do! Sam absolutely must teach me how to do that when I get back for Christmas. I will repay him in cookies.
yummy! It’s always fun to eat your homework!
Looks delicious!
Awesome work! I adore sushi. I have never made it, but he just made me want to try my hand at it.
impressive! He makes it look so easy, now I want to make some!!
Victoria would love this! She’s nuts about sushi. Me and the other kids, not so much!
He did a fantastic job!
What a great job. We are having sushi again this Friday. The boys loved this project.
He did a super job!
My husband has been wanting to try to make sushi ~ now he has a lovely tutorial to follow
Yummy! We got an old book out of the Key Largo library awhile back called Sailing the Farm that had a ton of info on edible algaes as he was looking for a diet with maximum nutrition but minimum weight and space but the idea of growing blue-green algae in the head was not my cup of tea! Give me sushi any day instead!
Oh.. I love it.. looks so good.. Its one of Cecilia’s favorite food of all time!
Too fun, and yes, we would have loved to have joined you both!! We’ll be rolling with this over the weekend with any luck
What fun! Those rolls look great! Great job, Superboy!
That’s a pretty cool homework project! Enjoy the weekend.
What a splendid job. They look so good. I wonder if that was one of his favorite assignments ever in Marine Biology.

Wow! I have a few kids here that will be following this recipe rather closely. We love sushi!
