Mrs. Meanie and I took a sushi class last month. I learned how to make all kinds of sushi, proper knife skills, how to make the rice, wasabi, etc. how to buy the fish, eel, shrimp, and crab, how to make the inside-out roll (rice on the outside). It was blast.
Next week we're hosting a sushi party for my boss and coworkers. I love sushi. The only problem is that once you start making your own sushi, the whole mystique and exoticness (is that a word?) wears off. Last week I was at a sushi place in SLC and found myself thinking "I could make this - $10 for this roll is such a ripoff!". It takes a bit of the fun out of going to get sushi (kind of like how I never order spaghetti in a restaurant - why pay for something you could make just as well, if not better, at home?).
