Sushi - ThinnerTimes

I have discovered the best thing since sliced bread! Shushi!! I've been wanting to try it forever, but DH wouldn't let me try it just anywhere. We finally went to this place in DC today that ppl rave about and it was SOOOOOO good. It was the neatest thing I'd ever eaten and it tasted pretty damn good too! I actually had been building it up for so long that I almost didn't care what it tasted like!

I even liked the eel that DH told me not to get until I "graduated". Whatever, it was all great. He and my kid had the Hibatchi grill (I probably just murdered that spelling), so we had a good show too! Oh and hey. It's low cal, REALLY low in fat, and way high in protien. You can't beat it!
The down side is that it ended up costing about $675. See apparantly skinny boosts confidance, but it won't fix stupid! I got sooooo lost driving in to meet DH there, and it was unbelleivably traumatizing. I took the wrong exit and it never stopped! It was exit after exit after exit. Within 10 minutes I was hopelessly lost and on the wrong side of the Potomac. FOr what seemed like FOREVER all I could find were signs indicating directions to somewhere else, but nothing to tell me where I was!! I finally pulled onto a median and cried for a minute. When I was able to calm down I cautiously drove until I found something that was kind of familiar. The Watergate Hotel. I got DH on the phone and told him where I was and he couldn't understand how in the world I ended up there, but he was able to direct me back eventually! After dinner I got on the metro instead of in my car and rode to the mall and bought a $600 idiot proof GPS. SHe talks to me and warns me ahead of time so I can get my butt across traffic and into the right lane so I won't miss an exit ever again! SHe also reroutes me immediately when I DO screw up. I even set her to "British" so my kid calls her Nanny McPhee. She comforts me! LOL.

Glad you enjoyed the sushi, but jeez, almost 700.00, and then you were able to go and spend another 600.00. Your pockets must be plenty deep.

Okay - I have wanted to try sushi (love loved loved it before surgery), buy I am scaredof the rice and the seaweed right now. Should I just eat the fish from the top?

Yes...DC is maddening to drive around in!! My dad lives in Virginia Beach, and when I was little he would drive us up to visit the grandparents in Baltimore, and we had to go through DC. When we hit that turnpike, I would always turn up my walkman and close my eyes because I knew the cussing was coming

Order sashimi instead. There's also plenty of rolls tht aren't made with rice. There's one that is wrappd in cucmber slices. The seaweed is no troube, easy to digest and full of nutrients.

Ok, someone please explain how folks even WANT to try food that used to be alive, but was never cooked?

I can't get the idea past that part to even think of tasting it. How did you all get around the Ewww factor? I like healthy stuff, and it seems so grown up and sophisticated and all. I'd probably like it if someone lied to me about what it was and had me try it.
