For the first time in my life, I actually paid for it...
No, not that!
Well, actually, some might argue that every man pays for it - one way or another.
But, I digress...
In this case, I am referring to sushi.
Tammy and Wendy (and Grayson and Murphy) came to visit last week. It was wonderful having them here - I only wish the weather had been better for them. Not that it was terrible, it was just a bit cool and breezy - not fantastic beach weather.
On Wednesday, Tammy and I went for an aerial tour of the island. We had a great time, and I greased the landing. I've figured out the trick to me making good landings - I just need a Murphy in the plane with me. Wow, I just realized I never posted about our big flying trip last year before my surgery - gee, I'll have put that on the list...
Anyway, on their last night here, Tammy was in the mood for Sushi, Wendy wasn't in the mood to go out, Jeanie was willing to go anywhere as long as the restaurant had options other than bait, so we went to Fancy Sushi on the island. It was very good. In an interesting twist, we were each served a bowl of miso soup, and given a hot appetizer, for which we were not charged. Tammy ordered two rolls - a crispy roll which contained tempura shrimp that was okay (nothing wrong with the preparation or taste, just not something that "wowed" me) and a Green Dragon roll with eel and avocado that was quite good. We both ordered a flying fish egg sushi, and I ordered a raw salmon roll that was quite good. Jeanie ordered vegetable udon which she enjoyed, and we took home an order of hibachi shrimp for Wendy which she enjoyed.
While it had been fun to be able to say that I had never paid for sushi out of my own pocket, it was more fun to have been able to take Tammy and Jeanie (and Wendy by proxy) out to a really enjoyable dinner.
