candy sushi!

So we had a family reunion on T's side this weekend. So much fun, and the food is always soooo good. This year, I was meant to make brownies but I changed my mind last minute. One of my friends at work made *the* cutest "sushi" last year for Christmas. It was so adorable, I just had to try it out.

It's probably pretty clear what goes into these, but in case you ever want to try them, here's a shopping list.

Swedish fish (large size)

Green fruit roll ups

Marshmallows

Red Hots (for the tobiko (fish eggs)

I would have preferred red nerds instead of red hots but they were not to be found. *sigh*)

Those nasty sugared oranges slices candy

 (they come in green, red, yellow too)

Twinkies

Mini powdered donuts

This is pretty much as Japanese as I get. I spent EIGHTEEN MONTHS in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan and I can make exactly zero Japanese dishes. I can name probably three dishes and kind of explain what goes into them. Pretty sad. But *this* dish is perfect for the 和食 challenged gaijin in all of us.
