Connections . . . and Sushi

My notation on Yours Mine and Ours yesterday was picked up by a movie tagging site that displayed an ad for an upcoming Nora Roberts movie. That wouldn't necessarily have piqued my interest except that it said Tippi Hedren is in it. I've been a fan of hers most of my movie-enjoying life - especially Marnie which is one of my top-5 favorites and the Birds which are both better movies than you realize until you see them ten or fifteen times and come to see and hear tons of visual and spoken details that are just wonderful. Which is how I found Tracy Griffith, Melanie's sister, the first woman graduate of the California Sushi Academy.
Assuming her press shots are accurate (had to say that), Tracy Griffith is a gorgeous redhead with music and acting credits and more to the point a restaurant in Napa called Sushi Outlaw and an intriguing and delicious-looking cookbook called Sushi American Style. Her unique take on sushi is to use otherwise normal ingredients in "creative, delicious combinations" rather than using raw fish. It's her mission to recommend easy-to-find ingredients in unusual combinations and it sounds amazingly good. Vegetable sushi isn't all that extraordinarily any more but goat cheese and pine nuts are as are the Asian, Mexican, barbecue and tons of other suggestions and recipes she includes. There's even a dessert sushi. And I'm intrigued by her suggestion for a make-your-own sushi party for a group gathering. I bet regular food is going to seem awfully pedestrian today. . . .
