I was at a sushi party/lesson a couple days ago and here is a video of me eating a vegan roll. It sure was something special. Cucumer, jalapeño, radish sprouts, avocado, rice and nori all rolled up and dipped in some soy sauce with a little wasabi.

A few days ago I rented a sod cutter to remove most of the grass in my back yard and make a large garden area. The sod cutter was loads of fun to use. After a little bit of trouble getting it started I would just hold on and it would wiggle around and cut through a huge section of grass. Lots of fun.

It took a little over an hour to cut the sod. Most of the time it went very easily but occasionally it would run into a bump in the ground and I would have to wrestle with the big vibrating sod cutter. It would also need to be lifted off the ground to turn around. Rough stuff.

The progress so far. My reunion and rain kept me from getting all the grass up at once.

This was my first cucumber, two more shortly followed. Cucumbers are some of my favorites.
