We have all been affected by the pandemic in on way or another.  I'm no exception.  However, sometimes we can turn a crisis into an unexpected blessing.  For example, there have been many times during this pandemic when I was unable to have a meal with my friends and extended family.  Fortunately I kept my head up and refused to  let that stop me from making the best of the situation by making healthy meals for myself.  The silver lining was that I also got to enjoy some peaceful, meditative, and very joyful time to myself. Following is my journey into the process of learning to make and enjoy sushi at home shown here in the American in Paris Gallery like I did prior to the pandemic in my favorite Japanese restaurants.
