The day was approaching the noon hour - critical hour for my belly-a before she would whisper eat, eat, eat.
As my body was dressed in a maxi coat of crashing fatigue, I was not able to move around the kitchen and do anything which would require rather substantial amount of energy.
So, I decided to move nothing but my eyes to look around - which could be rather distressing at times, as we peri-girls know - for ingredients to be used to prepare some delicious or perhaps less delicious edibles with the least amount of energy.
And there it was - a package of Nori, rich in vitamin B1 and calcium, which helps combat mental fatigue (according to some websites).
I spread some sushi rice on one sheet, that fortunately was cooked the day before, put two leaves of basil from my garden, julienned green onions, a little dab of mayo, wasabi and few drops of raw apple cider vinegar and rolled the nori into a cone. I also put some soya sauce into the cone instead of dipping the nori in it - it seemed too much work. And Voila! I hopped on my bed and enjoyed this appetizer À la Japanese in Ancient Romans style.
Japanese chefs, please don't condemn me! The Red Algae was not upset at all.
It is just a simplified version for perimenopausal needs, especially at times of crushing fatigue. In fact, you could put as many ingredients as you want. My poor version required the least amount of effort.
