Wow, TCB! I wonder what your sister thought when she found out about her former classmate!

I began learning to like sushi (sashimi) in my last year in Los Angeles. It took several times and a little guidance from knowledgeable friends, but in addition to California rolls and other such as starter sushi, I grew to actually look forward to whitefish, yellowtail, tuna, and salmon. I've had eel and liked it okay, too, but I never think of it because I'm so rarely in a Japanese jernt. Most of what I indulge in is from the sushi stand at the supermarket.

If you like lox and bagel, think of salmon as the Japanese version and go for it.

It is directly across the street from the entrance to the park.

Nice location.

Good luck tomorrow.

Unfortunately it is just too small. 582 square feet.

That is small. How big is your apartment?

TOD: I love sushi. You can catch a lot of crayfish with that stuff.

I love going out for sushi. But do not care for the raw fish. I mostly eat sushi rolls. I love them!

For people who don't love sushi. There are definitely many sushi rolls that are quite mainstream. I would look at the menu beforehand for wherever you are going and make a list of the ones that seem okay.

I chopped a lot of squash. A LOT.

I am glad you found a place for all of your squash. Were you your only church member helping the group cook?

I thought that, too. After his divorce, he wanted to move in with me to be in the City and away from his dad.

I'm up, I'm up - maybe five hours of sleep - went to bed early for me but could not fall asleep.

TOD:

I love sushi! I think a person's resistance to sushi is mostly psychological. If the idea of eating raw fish grosses you out, then I don't think recommendations for any particular sushi is going to help. That said, salmon is probably the most flavorful fish. Yellowtail is also wonderful. Don't dunk the rice part in soy sauce because it absorbs too much - just dip the fish. I also order my sushi without wasabi (horseradish) because I think it's too overpowering and I can't taste the fish.

So sad and a shame he couldn't get away from his father on his own.

Vegetarians eat vegetable sushi. I think raw or partially cooked fish tastes terrible.

I shall now be on my way to do the workshop, after which I'll eat, hopefully pick up packages, and then come home.

I did my elbow PT exercises and am now eating oatmeal-very exciting.

I was very busy yesterday. We opened the church kitchen to a group that cooks big pots of soup and delivers them to some of the churches where ICE drops off refugees. It is the passion of one of the new congregation members.

Wonderful!

I don't care for fish at all with the exception of starkist light tuna packed in water and fish and chips with lots of lemon and tartar sauce

Oh of course. But the Sausage (and egg) McMuffin is a fine thing in and of itself.

DR JohnG, whenever I listen to Carmen, I never think of Gilligan's Island. I think of what a genius Bizet was and how I wish I had an iota of his talent.

I think you have as much talent as Bizet, they're just different talents.
