**This is the THIRD time I’m typing out this post after stupid Ecto ate it twice before. Anyone know how to fix this?**
Why am I referring to clouds again? Well, there are a multitude of reasons…but before I get to that, a definition:
cu·mu·lo·nim·bus 
[kyoo-myuh-loh-nim-buh
s] 
–noun,plural-bus. a cloud of a class indicative of thunderstorm conditions, characterized by large, dense towers that often reach altitudes of 30,000 ft. (9000 m) or more, cumuliform except for their tops, which appear fibrous because of the presence of ice crystals: occurs as a single cloud or as a group with merged bases and separate tops.
In ordinary, normal, everyday English though, cumulonimbus clouds are those tall pouffy clouds that look like they’re sitting on something in the sky.
- 1 Tbsp. dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 tsp. oregano
I shook them together and then set the dressing aside while I pan-roasted the tuna filet in a super-hot skillet with some olive and sesame oil. I over-cooked it slightly, but it was still delicious! While it cooked, I cut up my cucumbers, dressed the salad, and then sliced the tuna. The whole darn thing got sprinkled with sesame seeds.
Reason #3: Lemon Vanilla Cloud Cookies
After last night’s coconut clouds, I knew I had to perfect the recipe. I hesitate to call these meringues because they’re lacking the sugar that standard meringues have, but I’m good with calling them clouds. They sound so happy!

Ohmigosh that lemon vanilla ones look amazing, too!!!
Ecto is so frustrating sometimes!! Sometimes it eats my posts when I try to add too many photos w/o first re-sizing them. Not sure what to do to fix your problem though. Sorry!
Those (edible) clouds look neat!!

1. We must be on some telepathic connection. Last week I saw tuna at trader joes and made sushi and pan-seared tuna (on two different days with the two tuna steaks)! How funny. And I just posted my sushi pics today (I swear I didn’t even read your blog first)
2. Must…have…envitote. I’m stoked to see what the surprise is tomorrow!!

Mara are you toasting the nori sheets first or did you buy them already roasted? Also are you splitting them in half therefore resulting in two rolls per sheet?
i bought pre-roasted nori, and I’m using the whole sheets for a fatter roll. I may try the half thing another time, but right now i’m not coordinated enough!
Thanks girlie! I bought the pre-roasted too and Scott and I kept having this debate on if we needed to roast them. LOL!
