*laughs* Well, some of those dishes are pretty easy, but
making them all in one night might be a pain in the butt.

Sushi. We do make California rolls at home sometimes, but
assembling the raw fish ingredients, making sure the rice turns out
okay AND clumsily trying to put it all together is too much for us to
handle. Besides, we have a pretty good sushi bar about 20 minutes
from here.

Also tend not to make Thai food, unless it's shortcut recipes
with storebought curry paste, etc. Getting all the ingredients in
this area is a bit of a challenge.
