This is the free appetizer that we ordered. It's called Gyu Asparagus and is "grilled beef wrapped asparagus with sweet teriyaki glaze." It was AMAZING. I want some more. Now.
The coupon specified that we had to spend $30 to get the free appetizer, so I was planning on ordering something to take home with me to eat tomorrow for lunch. I ordered a Cali roll for this purpose and let Lil Sis choose what to eat for dinner. Her two choices, the Rainbow (crab, cucumber, avocado topped with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, halibut, shrimp) and the Holy Crab (soft shell crab, eel, avocado, cucumber topped with crab, tempura flakes and eel sauce), were delicious. We were unable to finish both rolls, however. Sushi is very filling, very quickly, did you know?
All in all, the food was divine. The problem for me, being the ungraceful duckling that I am, is that I have never quite mastered the art of eating with chopsticks. I mean, why use two pieces of wood to gently pick up my food when I can violently stab it with a metal contraption? Of course, chopsticks were the only utensils given to us and I reluctantly decided that it was inappropriate to use my fingers. During my first disastrous attempt, Lil Sis laughed at me so much that she almost spit out some food. When she could breathe again, she took pity on me and showed me how to use them. It was fun once I got the hang of it. Then, then we got chopsticks with our boxed up food, so now I can practice. I think I need to add this skill to my resume.
Also, how great was Glee? I love every scene that has Jane Lynch.
1 made a huge mistake.:
I forgot my sushi in your fridge!! :( I was so looking forward to having a good lunch today.
But it's ok, this just means I will have an awesome dinner tonight and also will not embarrass myself trying to eat the holy crab roll in front of my co-workers. You also better practice with your chopsticks b/c that is the only utensil we are going to use tonight...for everything. ;) It will be fun!
