For the rice, I washed it a few more times than before and let it soak in some cheesecloth for about 45 minutes before steaming, also adding less water than before. The result was plenty of perfect, fluffy rice! 
I was embarassingly excited about how well it came out, and I made Mom and Laura come feast their eyes on its majesty.
I decided to make 3 rolls using some of the same ingredients as last time. This is the California roll I made for mom, with crab salad, avocado, and cucumber. She loved it, so I'd consider it a success.
For Laura, I made the same one as last week, with the new and improved rice. I also tried to step up my presentation game with some of my mom's mexican plates. You know, the ones that sit on a high shelf in a cabinet and never get used.
Chef's gotta eat, too- I just kinda threw everything into my roll.
All in all, it was a great sushi day and I love nothing more than to be able to share sushi with my family!
