Mmm, sushi...

Not a fan, but I haven't tried very hard. Next time I'm somewhere with my daughter I'll ask her for some recommendations.

When I lived in CA my sisters and I had a Japanese baby-sitter. I was about 7. One day she was making sushi(?) It looked so pretty, I asked if I could have one. She said she didn't think I'd like it, and she was right.

My vegan daughter might like that. She’s a true carbovore.

I'm trying to give up bread/wheat and dairy. Started two days ago.

chickelit said...

No whey!

deborah said...

Yeas'.

Back in the days of milk and money a coworker and I ordered a $100 plate of sushi. It was a work of art, as the presentation of the meal is a big deal in Japanese cuisine. We sat there and crammed ourselves full of raw fish, rice, seaweed, and various other foodstuffs until we could eat no more. I think there were two pieces of octopus left - they always reminded me of vulcanized tire patches so there was no reason to clean the plate, but the rest of it - awesome. Even twenty years later it was a meal to remember.

Good times, Sixty. Yes, things like bento lunches and carved veggies/fruit are off the hook. Japan must be amazing and cuh-razy. Have you seen Lost in Translation? It felt like it captured the mood of Tokyo. Or at least the mood of spending time in a hotel in Tokyo.

PETA and Nabisco are congratulating themselves for freeing cartoon animals from cartoon circus cages. PETA will soon demand that Nabisco cease production of animal shaped cookies as that is abusive, unethical and sends a horrible message.

The Dude said...

Where is the fun in eating cookies if you can't bit the heads off of things - animals, gingerbread men, bunnies, you name it. I would include vegans on that list but there are somethings that even vegans won't eat.

Amartel said...

Hilarious.

That is funny

I like the idea of freeing the animal crackers; so they can be hunted down, slaughtered, and then eaten. So much more fun than just watching them perform in the circus.

deborah said...

Leland, I can see you're a guy who looks at the cup half full.

I'll bet some PETA bastard stocked up on those adorable boxes to sell to us sentimental, sad sack boomers.

Ironic, though. When my daughter was in kindergarten(?) and they took a field trip to the circus, I couldn't go for emotional reasons...I didn't want to see the elephants in a sad situation. I said to the teacher, 'you'll hold her hand really tight, right?'

Hey, I forgot they used to have strings on the lid: old school boxes

deborah said...

Sixty, of course you eat the heads first, it's more merciful.

MamaM said...

So a teacher with only two hands to use to care for herself and her class is tasked with the responsibility of holding real tight to the hand of a 5 year old, who most likely under any circumstances sad or otherwise would prefer to have her mom alongside sharing the experience with her but can't because the mom is too caught up in her own emo about elephants.

Puhleeeze. Something about that smells. Cover it with a Hey or hay and move forward. I too remember the strings.

I like to dunk my animal crackers in milk before I devour them. I guess it's sorta like waterboarding them. I'm ruthless.

Windbag, shhh, you'll get Lem's de-platformed.
