Avocado + sushi = love, people.

I am with Jess.

HELL yeah, people. You avocado-in-sushi haters are WACK, yo.

a "New Yorker roll" with salmon and cream cheese in it.

The "Alaska roll" is smoked salmon and cream cheese. I maintain that despite the numminess of all of the ingredients, it is Wrong. As Tom so rightly said: "Spread that on your bagel, gaijin!"

SQUEE!! (Like you didn't see that coming from a bazillion miles away.)

they have a Totoro lunch bag too! I got another of the bento boxes for my older niece and got the younger one an HK box!

I'd spend the whole moment between "I should say something," and "I'll look like an idiot."

hah! yeah. I didn't talk to him. Just walked by all cool like (and then texted my friend about it and she said she'd just seen him at the pool with his lady friend). I did postpone taking my break a bit to see if he'd come in the store (he's kind of a regular customer).

cream cheese in sushi has its place.

Oh, yeah -- this, too. Some rolls with cream cheese are nom nom nom.

Olives don't belong on the planet, so they're a gimme.

The mystery of ita... so beautiful, so brilliant, so deadly, yet so very wrong.

I must remain silent on the avocado question, as I both love it and get terrible stomach cramps from it. Its omnipresence does make dining out as a vegetarian awfully hard -- it's always turning up in random food items that I didn't warn the waiter about because I couldn't imagine anyone putting avocado in there. Luckily, the dessert menu is quite safe; even if the chef has gone hog-wild and created something exotic like avocado ice cream it's right there in the title, easily avoided. Thank God for the dessert menu!

I just realized that I didn't know how olive oil was made, so I had to look it up. Now I know about malaxation and pomace.

Nearly every sushi joint around here has some variation of a "New Yorker roll" with salmon and cream cheese in it. This is where I get my inner Rio on and start shouting "EAT A FREAKING BAGEL, WHITEY!"

When I hear the phrase "New Yorker roll," my first impression is that it comes with a wry cartoon. Or maybe a Chrysler hubcap.

Also, salmon and cream cheese are nummy, and it would be a good thing if our most brilliant scientists were to devise more clever ways to deliver it.

I will agree with Lee that muffins do not belong in sushi.

Is that because you have that whole "sushi should be small bite size" thing?

OK, so it is a good guess that all the trucks and equipment parked at Western & Polytechnic High now are for filming, right?

I feel like the Haddad's trucks are always there? Like they maybe rent that spot in the parking lot? But maybe only when the filming is going on in the area.

They don't just squish olives?
