Donut Donut!
The annual fall donut party was a blast! Its one of my favorite things to do every year. I love coming up with new toppings to try. This year I added strawberry frosting and cereal to the mix!

Happy Birthday!
We also celebrated Adam's Mom's birthday in the last month. We had dinner at our house, we had a fun baked potato bar with lots of crazy toppings (including bacon, chorizo, peppers and onions in addition to all the normal stuff). And for dessert I made this super rich cake:
We had a big group (13 if you count Sadie and Brycen), our table is almost not big enough, and we don't even have kids yet!
The cake was chocolate with peanut butter cream cheese filling and chocolate ganache on the outside. Then it was covered in Peanut Butter M&Ms. Very tasty, but very rich!

Sushi!
This fun night actually happened a few weeks ago, but I thought it was still worth posting. After seeing several shows on the Foodnetwork about sushi, we decided it would be fun to have our own Sushi night. Alisa and Matt as well as our Friends Brittany and Tiatia came over and we had a great time rolling and eat our homemade sushi. Mostly they were just California rolls because we live in AZ and I thought buying raw sushi quality fish here would be a little sketchy. But we had lots of variety and everything was great!
Adam demonstrating the proper rolling technique. Make sure you have lots of water handy!
Some of our fillings... we had smoked salmon, crab, avocado, mango, green onions, carrots, tempura shrimp, wasabi, pickled ginger. Pretty much everything you could want in a sushi roll!
The cooks!

I was pretty excited that day when I realized I had the perfect dishes for the night. Plates and bowls from our wedding reception. Yes they were bright pink and green but they were square with delicate flowers and I thought they looked very Asian (except the color). I was also happy to have found another use for them.
I think my nephew Brycen had the most fun with the Sushi. If you cant tell he (and the floor) are speckled with sticky rice. It was my first attempt with sticky rice and boy was it sticky! But Brycen LOVED it! Every time he was anywhere close to the big bowl of rice he would just stick his hand in and it would come out covered.
