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?
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

I remember melon being pretty easy to tolerate. Mainly when I was pregnant I wanted food I couldn't smell, so it had to be really really cold.
That was EM with Emmett. She couldn't even open the fridge without gagging. Cold food for about two thirds of the pregnancy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In general, fin-fish will be raw and shellfish will be cooked. When I was pregnant I ate a LOT of California rolls (crab*, cucumber, avocado).
*Or, more likely, imitation crab which is really cured whitefish
