Allyson, you have no idea how many times I've melted down because, like, my toast burned.
This seems like as good an excuse as any for Who burned Nic Cage's toast?
Seriously, like 10 of use are wearing guacamole slippers right now and 10 more have the freaking rubber gloves on their heads and all of us are looking at you like? huh? humiliation? that there is just fine behavior. It's not like meltdown with bad spelling or grammar fer fuck's sake.
OK, please forgive my total sushi ignorance, but I'm looking at the menu of the sushi place just down the street from my office, and they don't appear to do any cooked-fish sushi. Is that something that you'd normally expect to see on a menu, or are there clues I'm missing? Like, are there certain kinds of fish that are always cooked, or some code words I should be looking for? Can I order a regular roll and ask for the fish to be cooked, or is that Not Done?
Avocado and cucumber rolls are vegetarian and will also provide you with the all-important pickled ginger.
True! And are also among my very favorite foods.
Shrimp will be cooked. Around here smoked salmon is pretty common. I'm not sure what else.
I can't even think of any cooked-fish sushi. I know I've had some once or twice. Unagi (eel) is usually cooked, I think. And shrimp.
I've never really understood the pickled ginger thing. Give me more wasabi instead.
Allyson, it's completely understandable for you to break down and cry. BUT! you picked yourself up, got the car to wherever you needed to, got it fixed, and carried on. With all the nonsense and almost unending frustration you've gone through with that thing, plus the expense, plus missing work, you're entitled to a meltdown.
A California roll is with cooked crab or crab-ish, right? Barbecued eel is another thought (although I don't like it).
That cold dog is awesome.
So based on Jessica and my pregnancy experiences, girls make you want spicy foods while boys are the absolute opposite? The blander the better, with CJ.
My full out karate plan has been sidelined by cramps. I guess better now than next week. Please send chocolate.
