I bought the new Lego Friends playmat and am utterly disappointed. It’s not a mat at all, it’s just some pieces of cardboard glued together. The Lego Friends buildings barely fit on the lawn, the cars barely fit on the street. I could live with that, if the “mat” wasn’t that badly made and impractical.

So my advice: Don’t buy! Buy a usual play rug and the usual Lego road plates instead!

Some facts:

• Material: Cardboard
• Measurements: 116×74 cm (45,5×29 inch)
• double-sided printed, one side with the Heartlake, the other side with coast and mountains

This is my entry in Dessert Wars containing the green ingredients green apple and avocado.

Makes 4 small maki rolls

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 sheets nori
• fruit and vegetables (e.g. apple, strawberry, pear, melon, avocado, carrot, cucumber, pumpkin)
• wasabi and maple syrup for serving

Wash the rice until water stays clear. Put rice, milk, sugar and vanilla in a pot and let sit for 45 minutes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, still covered, for 10 minutes.
Let cool the rice in a large bowl, while stirring occasionally and carefully.
For the filling slice fruit and vegetables into fine strips.
Cut nori sheets into halves. Lay a piece of nori on a bamboo mat. Spread and press sushi rice on the nori sheet.
Place fillings on the sushi rice in the lower third. Roll up the bamboo mat while pressing gently to shape the maki rolls.
Continue with remaining rice, filling and nori.
Cut each roll into 8 slices and serve with wasabi and maple syrup (or chocolate sauce).
