Re-creating Japan?

Our terrible heatwave is getting worse. It's impossible to do anything except think about how to stay cool. Our traditional Friday night dinner had to be a no-cook affair, so I had the brilliant idea of a visit to Kailis to buy some Japanese inspired dishes:

On the menu: half a dozen oysters, sashimi-grade kingfish, seasme seaweed and salmon & avocado maki:

E has now left school and has nothing to do, so I insisted that she should make dessert. She produced some delicious brownies:

I had to ask C for her sharpest knife to slice up the kingfish. When she was washing up this dangerous implement, she accidentally sliced into her thumb. Not a good ending to a lovely Japanese meal!
