Lunch yesterday (no pics). My wife had gone out w/ a friend & a McD’s is on the way back so

For Mother’s Day. My wife (and daughter) like sushi, even if my technique remains shoddy. Maki rolls: Spicy scallop with caviar, yellowtail with scallion, and chutoro with avocado (Daughter likes avocado with pretty much everything these days).

Y’all are killing it with your beautiful lunches.
I’m super envious because I’m doing a “one meal a day” (dinner) the last couple weeks, but I’m glad to live vicariously through all of you and your wonderful photos.
Good stuff!
