We slept in, recovering from a late night out, then had the best homemade tuna sandwiches (ever) for lunch.  After a quick hour of lesson-planning because of class schedule confusion (Note: having multiple teachers teaching a class and having to communicate to know where one person left off isn’t easy, especially when it goes off-schedule!), I worked 2-5pm at my public middle school.  Despite the earlier confusion, my 3 classes went swimmingly (I think that’s the first time I’ve ever used actually used that word. I guess I have swimming on my mind!) and a Vietnamese teacher assistant that actually showed up in 2 of the classes told me that he thought my classes were excellent and he was happy that I was there as their new teacher.  Confidence-boost, yay!


I got a surprise pick-up from Patrick and after a co-op grocery shop, we arrived at home and flew into the kitchen, hungry and ready to cook. We whipped up a big batch of bolognaise sauce and pasta and ate it with some fresh baguette! A chill night-in watching “12 Years a Slave”, paired with some cheesecake ice-cream? Yes, please!


This dish of the day comes from Saturday’s NowZone lunch trip – it resembled a Rainbow roll – containing the typical ingredients of a California roll, except with with sashimi on top. This maki however, seems to have had egg, a green vegetable (radish or a crunchier root vegetable) and crab and has been topped with raw salmon, fish eggs and mayo. And always served with soy sauce, ginger and a generous helping of wasabi, of course!
