I love all these images!! it is too bad that your partner can't digest seaweed well. I wonder if it just takes time? My ancestry is pretty much all European but I grew up in a place with a lot of Japanese influence and my sister and I were both crazy about sushi and Anime so we grew up eating sushi and watching lots of anime movies. Now I often eat nori cooked in soups which seems like a good way to consume seaweed instead of raw. Anyway, I think it is sweet that your daughter requests rice balls and that you also accommodate your partner's preferences too.
