Sushi Anyone?

Seth is a BIG sushi connoisseur. He LOVES it! And when I say he loves it I mean he LOVES the hard-core stuff. He will eat Salmon Roe (salmon eggs) wrapped in seaweed and Uni (sea urchin) with a quail egg.  Because of him I have learned to tolerate it over the years and I’m starting to enjoy the safe stuff.

Seth decided it was time for Rachel and Alex to experience Sushi so last Saturday night they were introduced to Sushi. And what an experience it was! They embraced it and tried everything. I was impressed. Before we ordered sushi the girls were looking at the dinner menu and asked the nice Japanese waitress if they had orange chicken. (I just about died.) The nice lady said, “This is Japanese restaurant.” I added, “Orange Chicken is Chinese.” It was a pretty funny moment!

Alex & Rachel started with the safe stuff. They tried a Spider Roll — soft shell crab, avocado, and rice.

 

Next was a Las Vegas Roll. Who wouldn’t like deep fried rice, cream cheese, salmon, and crab?

 

The last of the safe stuff was the Dragon Roll, which was Rachel’s favorite — avocado and eel.

When Seth and I were dating he took me out for Sushi and ordered quail eggs. He challenged me to try it so of course I took the challenge. I had to impress him with my adventurous side. Seth told the girls this story and commented that I’m too wimpy to try it now. So again, I had to take the challenge just to be an example to the girls. But let me tell you this is not my favorite thing to do. Alex decided to try it with me.

This is Alex slurping at it. She never did shoot it.

And that’s me trying to chug it as fast as I can.

Alex and Rachel both tried the Uni (sea urchin). They liked the taste but not the texture. They also tried the salmon roe (salmon eggs). I don’t think that one was a favorite. But all in all it was a fun, adventurous night!
