I think it's a Gasteraloe, but it could be a Gasterworthia.

Hi susannah, How are you? I probably have a bunch of things to trade. Shoot me an email at IBelievekandc@yahoo.com and we can figure it out. I am still trying to go ahead with the survivalist gardening expert at my house on Feb 1st. I want to start a new bed. I have an expert coming if I still have the interest Claudia PS I would love Calomondons if you still have the seeds. I used to raid trees all over miami when I was in High school. I have seeds from a tree I've been eating all month that is incredible. To be honest I don't know what type of tree it is. My gardeners brought it to me and tried to tell me they ate it in their country, I feel stupid but I have saved all the seeds.

Here's a tip - you don't need to fan the rice. It's done to make it glossier for restaurant service, but when it comes down to it, it serves no purpose as far as taste goes. If you don't want to fuss with making rolls, an easy family dinner is Chirashi sushi: just the rice-vinegar-sugar served in bowls, with the various toppings added separately to each diner's tastes. Yes, sushi is very simple to make. It's one of the reasons I lost interest in it after a while - growing up it was picnic food, so I always think of it in relation to hot dogs and burgers, LOL! The only one I'm still very fond of is inarizushi: a fried tofu skin (aburaage) that's been cooked in a sweet-soy sauce based sauce, drained then stuffed with sushi rice. You can buy the aburaage ready-made in cans. A deluxe version is made with mixing chopped shiitake mushrooms, diced carrots, and baby peas into the rice. My husband is a sucker for the tamago, the egg roll/pancake. Easy to make in small amounts, when I'm being very nice to him! Here is a link that might be useful: A website for sushi rolls
