This is an egg dish that is then cut up to put on top of sushi or in a bento (lunch) box.
It is basically a side dish of egg that you can then pair with anything. This is a 4 egg recipe but easily halved.

Beat together:
4 eggs
1 T sugar
1 t mirin (Japanese rice wine that can be left out, it'll just be a little flat on flavor)
1/4 t salt
1/2 t light soy sauce, but dark will work, it will just darken the eggs

Heat skillet to med-lo. Then brush pan with oil.
Put in 2-3 T of the egg mixture in pan and allow it to coat bottom of pan. Cook gently. When top of egg starts to set but is not runny or cooked all the way
(bottom will have cooked), gently roll the egg to one side of the pan. Add another 2-3 T of egg mix, lift the rolled egg so the new runny egg goes under it and repeat. This time roll the previous roll and newly cooked egg together in the opposite direction. Repeat, changing direction each time until all the egg is cooked. Be patient as the egg roll will become rubbery if cooked at a high temperature.
Place completed roll in sushi mat seam side down (or in parchment/wax paper) and roll tightly. Allow roll to cool across a plate before unrolling and slicing to desired thickness unless you are eating it right away.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Spiced pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

Now that it is officially Fall, it's time for pumpkin cookies again :)   Dad's pumpkin cookies are delicious. Best way to describe the difference between them is that these are more spice than pumpkin. I like them both but sometimes prefer this spice version. I don't like using prepared pumpkin pie spice, it seems to change the flavor for me (I wonder if it's the amount of cloves?). This recipe hits the spice just right but of course alter as you like, it can take even handle more or less chocolate chips in it, or none at all.  In medium mixing bowl, mix dry ingredients together:  2 c flour 2 t baking powder 3/4 t baking soda 1 1/2 - 2 t cinnamon 1/2 t ginger 1/2 t nutmeg 1/8 t cloves 1/2 t salt In small mixing bowl beat together : 1/2 c sugar 1/2 c brown sugar, packed 1/2 canola oil 1 egg 1 t vanilla paste Then add:  240g pumpkin purée, ( about a small can if not using fresh) When blended well, add the pumpkin mix into the the dry mixture. Barely blend the two ...
