Oh, happy birthday to amych!
And what wonderful recognition for Ethan!
No worries, Jen. Just making sure. Not that I’m going to jump right on them or anything.

Our wings are not tired.
We have a considerable diamond slippers too tight issue here. Last night we went to dinner with old friends and they ordered a huge sushi boat, after having soup and sashimi appetizers. So I have a huge quantity of leftovers. With the sushi my choices are gobble it up quickly today and tomorrow at the latest, and/or disassemble it. There are recipes for quick pan frying the raw leftovers and serving over the disassembled rice. It's a challenge. So yeah, sushi for breakfast.
eta: Successful leftover breakfast. Pan-fried various sashimi slices briefly in butter and chili sauce, including the toppers from a couple of the sushi pieces. Served alongside 3 pieces of cooked sushi. Does my belly like soy sauce and wasabi with my morning coffee? Of course!

Morning! I went out with Thessaly yesterday to savers and bought way too much stuff. Most of which I don’t technically need for Christmas, but it was fun. I did find some great frames for ltc’s school pictures, and I found a soda stream for $6!

Laura, there was a story on radio this morning that wasabi is good for you, especially if you're older (going out to stock up).

Does that also apply to the green-dyed horseradish they call wasabi in the flyover states? If so, I'm golden.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
Fun fact: wasabi, mustard, and horseradish are all in the cruciferous family so, not only are they good for you, they can all be sprinkled on other cruciferous vegetables after they have been cooked in order to activate the sulforaphane in them. (Heat kills the enzyme required for sulforaphane production so ideally you chop up veggies 40 minutes in advance of cooking to allow the enzyme time to do its thing, or mix in raw cruciferous elements post-cooking. I now sprinkle ground mustard seed/horseradish powder on almost everything. Bonus: It's tasty!)
