Wichita was a little shaky for fish. But we lucked out here with our Iron Chef chef and a restaurant proprietor who flies everything in from Japan & Hawaii.
Liese S., which restaurant is that, if you don't mind? I may have to go explore sometime this week.
edited to add: Did you mean the one actually named Iron Chef in Derby?
I thought I was being adventurous and enjoying sushi until I found out I was just eating the pickled ginger.
ha! Of course, the pickled ginger IS delicious!
As is pickled okra!
I'm sure I've had raw beef but I can't remember. It seems I must have and I would have liked it...but maybe I've never had it. I've no sense memory of it at all.
Love raw veggies and fish (but, sushi != raw fish!, although I do love the raw fish sushi options).
Of course wishing I had some sushi for dinner right now but will make do w/ leftover crab pasta.
I definitely support starting out on sushi with cucumber rolls or something else non-fishy, because it's the other flavors (including the ginger) that I think are the make-or-break on enjoying it. I could be wrong.
Hee! Sorry, lurker, the superfantabulous Japanese restaurant is over here in Arizona. Guess I segued all the way out of the state without realizing it.
LOL. That's okay, I thought maybe sushi was the hidden gem of Wichita. Who knew?
My youngest sister won't eat the raw fish version of sushi. However, Nori is the taste she sometimes can't take.
so this

is quite accurate in her case
Interesting article on spherical perspective: [link]
I'm here to undermine your world view. We always assume that what we are taught about perspective is the way we actually see. But it's not. In the outside world there are straight lines, so we put them that way into our pictures. We have developed complicated schemes of geometrical rules to guide us. We take photos with cameras that have lenses that carefully distort the world to make it fit with the expectation that straight line should be straight. But visually they are not.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Robin!
Got in very late last night from St. Louis. Really should go to bed now.
I would eat sushi until my belly burst open, if only I had the money. When SA visits me, we eat sushi in obscene amounts.
If I'm being moderate, I eat a 6- to 9-piece roll and maybe 2 or 3 pieces of sushi.
Nom nom nom.
Never get between me and my sushi. Consider that fair warning to alla y'alls.
Looking at our sushi place on their "Friends of Teppo" it seems George Clooney is a friend of Teppo.
I did a *serious* double-take on that statement. Dang! He's even from this area, but alas, George Clooney is NOT a friend of Teppy.
