sushi, my boy and happy tummy
So Ben surprised me this weekend by showing up at my apartment around 6ish on Friday. He had only been gone since Monday but it has felt a lot longer..Maybe it was all the training and running around i was doing at the university last week or maybe its the fact that i miss him a lot when he's gone. Needless to say it was a lovely surprise to see him at my front door. Also to have him warm my bed this weekend.
This week has been a great week. My first official full week at Wash U was filled with orientation, benefit information and a tb shot. Wednesday had to be my most favorite day last week with the exception of Friday because I was at the west campus doing my IDX navigation training. As i walked into the door i was pleasantly surprised to see Sekisui Pacific Rim on the first floor. Oh yeah, sushi for lunch..mmmmm..Training started and broke for lunch, $12.00 later i was eating my most favorite thing on the planet and loving every wasabi burning moment of it. Went home in the blistering cold to finish up my week in even colder more blistering weather.
This weekend has been a relaxing one for me and Ben. Friday we went to target and schnucks and got things needed for the weekend. Oven mits, cough drops, sushi kit and such. Came home to an almost perfect 10 man naxx run only to have someone die to iceblock on KT *le sigh*..Saturday we bummed around the apartment before running to Chesterfield for lunch and stopping at World Market. We picked up a nice set of porcelain measuring spoons, an oyster shucker, chopsticks and dipping bowls and a large bamboo bowl.
Today was filled with laundry and more laundry. We finally got home a couple of hours ago and spent a good part of 2 hours preparing what we'd need for our sushi. Ben had cured a lovely side of salmon on Friday so all that was needed was to slice it thin and make the rice. First batch of rice? Yeah didnt work..to soft and liquidy..2nd batch was a lot better..So we made sushi and omg so good..so tasty..wow that wasabi does have a tendency to sneak up and slap you upside the head. Having a really nice wheat beer from Schlafly's and I made an open topped mini cherry pie for Ben and I to share. So w/o further adeu..I give you..
