I put "sushi" in quotation marks, because this is definitely not a sushi roll, but I very much dug it. Plus, how simple? The seaweed is throughout the rice and the crispy eggplant is on top. Easy day. The old man doesn't like eggplant and I don't like having SO much rice, so here's the plan:
Sweet potato rice mixed with sauteed kale as the base. Maybe use Chinese Five Spice for seasoning. On top, a thick chili garlic mushroom gravy of sorts. If I execute it and it turns out awesome, I might even take full credit for the creation :)

*The "Super Green" smoothie is supposed to come with moringa, but a cursory Google search showed that it might have bad side effects with my various medications. All show low percentages, but given all the rare things that ail me, I'm not going to risk it until I talk to my doctors.
