Eureka! Uokura!

[29pixie]

SO I just got back from a FABULOUS sushi dinner with my family ("What is Frice?!" - Mom) and it was positively delicious. It was nice and long (because they were busy so we got to hang out a lot. DB went to dinner with Brecken's family so he didn't come, but Mom, Dad, Me and Sammie had a good time. Well Sammie was hot and was gagging about the gross man at the next table, but still. Mom had trouble with her chopsticks since she drank a whole glass of wine before the food came, and that was pretty amusing, but I think it had less to do with the wine and more to do with the fact that it was busy so they were rushing and the sushi wasn't packed as tightly and the rice wasn't as sticky. Dad was delighted at my choices of the yummy philly roll (which is SO different at Uokura) and the sunrise roll. I guess he didn't realize eel is yummy in maki too and doesn't always need to be in nigiri form. My one piece of Nigiri had WAAAY too much wasabi under it and I almost died. Oh well. I hate the taste of it - yuk.

Speaking of Japanese food, today Sammie, Mom, and I went to the mall (they're such bad shoppers, they have no stamina) and i got chopsticks to go with the cute sushi and soy sauce plates I made in ceramics this year.

I'm packing. I decided to take the red suitcase that I took to England because United busted the wheel off of my brand new blue one. Dang! I better get back to packing though because I leave early tomorrow for IOWA! Casey's picking me up at the airport! :-)
