I am getting all interested in making home-made sushi now!

You realise this means I will whine at The Girl to make it, on account of how I'm not allowed near kitchen utensils, yes?

Mmm. I could get some really good salmon. We live near an actual fishmonger...

Yesterday I played Texas Hold 'Em with my new neighbors. I hadn't played in years. I was this close to losing all my chips after a few rounds, but I had one big, lucky win, and from then on, I cleaned up. I had little idea what I was doing, but hey, it was fun.

Good to hear it's a good place. I know nothing about American hospitals/clinics, but I know they used to live in Houston and they go back for their medical treatment because they consider it the best in the world.

Definitely. Ranked #1 in cancer care in the U.S.

I did a research program there the summer before college. I studied XIAP and ERK2 as predictors of survival in chronic myelogenous leukemia.

(Though this is cone style sushi instead of a roll. As a plus, it has a poodle.)

Mmmmm. Poodle sushi.

The most important thing is using a really sharp clean knife to slice it -- the knife gets gummed up after just a few cuts, and if it's dull, you crush rather than slicing

aHA! I think that this was my main issue when I made it. They weren't round or clean, and it distressed me.

will probably run out to get sushi now.

Happy birthday Nora!

I don't make my own sushi. Preparing the rice is a pain. But I do sometimes buy sashimi slices from the local Japanese market and slurp them down in the kitchen.

We are having tacos. I played talky-mouth-puppet with a taco shell. I broke it. I am six and I get fewer tacos now. Fortunately there are a lot of them. Mmmm. Tacos.

wrod. Although I've got Trader Joe's enchiladas(Trader Jose's?) so I can't complain. We've got to go into the yuppie neighborhood to get to TJ's now...this kinda blows.
