I adore my friend Twanda. She and I have a lot in common. One thing in particular is our openness to try new or different things. Now I do realize that Sushi has probably been around for thousands of years, but for us it is a bit of a new experience. I've had a little bit of sushi here and there, but mostly California rolls. I believe that Twanda had just tried Sushi once before. So the two of us sat down in this nice Sushi restaurant, a little dumbfounded. We were looking at the menu unsure of what any of the terms, or ingredients were. Because of this, our young patient waiter explained the answer to our obviously "newbie" questions. Twanda and I take this all in stride. We ordered three rolls the "Benbe, Philly and the Spicy Crab." Despite our desire to order sushi that had the fish rolled up in it, we missed the fact the Philly had salmon laid on top. So we inadvertently were a little more adventurous than planned. I'll have to admit it wasn't horrible, but I think this was a "baby-step" or two ahead of our adventure game plan. In addition to the Sushi, I tried warm Saki. And I will have to tell you, it tasted like a bottle of Chardonnay left in the car and got hot. That was not my favorite part of the evening. What was my favorite part was sitting down with a good friend and laughing my tail off. Can't wait to do it again!
We need another "new" thing to try.
