food goodies
Today's mail brought fruitcake goodies from browngirl, who is way too good to me. Photos of the lovely decorations will be posted after Shabbat.
Today for lunch I went with a group to Little Tokyo Bistro, which has replaced Sushi Two on the South Side. The sushi was fresh and tasty and the portions generous. Ir is the way of local sushi places for portions to start large and shrink over time; I hope that doesn't happen too quickly here. (I don't know how long they've been there, since I get up that way much less frequently since we moved farther away.)
Of the eight of us seven ordered sushi, but we still had our meals in a reasonable amount of time. (I only saw one sushi chef.) The staff members were pleasant.
There was music (American, not Japanese) and it was a little too loud, but they turned it down when we asked them to. There was also a TV showing CNN in my field of vision, which turned out to be distracting, but I didn't ask them to turn it off. (I find that TV draws my eye even if I don't care, and doubly so when there is text. CNN always has a text crawl...) So if you want atmosphere this might not be the place for you, but if you want good sushi, check it out.
