Now, I don't know about you, but I love sushi.
Actually I love food in general but in particular I love sushi.
Food and I have never really had a negative relationship. That might be because I see it as sustenance and not really as a vice or it could also be because I have a freakishly high metabolism. Its ridiculous sometimes. I have to eat all the time and I bring snacks with me to school because I can go from perfectly fine to a hangry 3 year old in a 21 year old woman's body in about a split second.
Anyways,I never really experienced the thrill of sushi until just a few years ago and now I cant get enough of it. Its such an adventure from my normal diet. The wasabi that goes up into your sinuses and the fresh flavors is to die for. I love ginger, soy and wasabi together and sushi is the perfect place for it all. I've been trying to get my roommate hooked on these delightful dried seaweed snacks that are wasabi flavored. She is celiac so I thought these being gluten free and all would be nice for her to at least try. She took one bite and then scraped her tough and coughed like a cat trying to get out a fur ball. Suffice to say she does not share my love of dried seaweed snacks, which just means more for me!
Just this past semester my roommate and I have gone on sushi dates because lets be honest, that's how we roll. And we haven't had very good luck with dates this past semester, so we take ourselves on our ideal date. If a man takes me out on a sushi date he already has a fair amount of points in my book. Its a bit of an acquired taste and the whole raw fish ordeal freaks people out. I eat sushi whenever I can and I can honestly say I've been perfectly fine every time. But really if a nice guy back at school suggest sushi, i'd be all over that!
Our current favorite sushi place is Rice Monkey but I have tried the others in Durango and there's just something about there that we like.
But what brought this all up is that today I was celebrating with my family some birthdays we have around this time of the year and we went out for sushi. It was just interesting to see who went for actual sushi and who just got Asian food. I got some hand rolls but honestly you cant go wrong with anything that says tempura in the title because that means it has something fried in it and lets be honest, who doesn't like things that are fried?
My challenge to you is to go out and try something new. It doesn't have to be food but really I find trying new types of food to be exhilarating. Just do something new a different and you may be surprised on what you find out about yourself.
