Sushi Rolls

  And I made sushi rolls with salmon, avocado and cucumber for dinner today.

Onigiri With Salmon

  I watched "Kamome Diner" several days ago and the movie inspired me to try to make onigiri. Well, I don't claim to be a great onigiri maker (the process is quite easy though) I just tried, but  I must admit that it tasted not so bad.

Pasta With Broccoli And Pickled Sheep Cheese

100g uncooked pasta
200g broccoli florets
100g diced pickled sheep cheese
some rocket
salt
pepper

It's an extremely easy recipe. You need to boil pasta in salted water but don't overcook it. Meanwhile fry broccoli florets for about 8-10 minutes. Then put pasta, cheese, salt and pepper into the frying pan with broccoli, add some water (if needed) and cook for a couple of minutes. Add rocket right before serving.
