Sea Day Jan 28th

Today was a different day at sea. We got up and went to the gym, then a coffee talk with the head chef Willie. It was interesting how he has to plan so far in advance to source the huge amount of food to feed 1000 people on board.
The the highlight of the day was our beginner Sushi class. It took about 3 hours. This class was run by a guest Chef, winner of several sushi competitions. We cut all the ingredients, fish, etc. They made the rice for us in a big rice cooker. It was very interesting how important the rice is and is mixed with vinegar and sugar. We learned how to roll the sushi and then made all the sushi in the pictures. It was a great class since we actually did all the work (except the rice cooking). Then we ate it all for our lunch...
Afternoon was another round of playing games and more learning to knit.
There won't be a posting for Jan 29th since we lose that day crossing the International Date Line tonight.Read more
