Sushi*

I went with Camila and April tonight to Clayton for Sushi. They go quite often, and I sometimes join them. The last several times I've been hesitant to go...for several reasons...but tonight was great.

My first exposure to sushi was with my Japanese friends in Mozambique. I don't know about you, but something about eating raw fish in a third-world African country where health standards were questionable and a good hospital hard to find made me want to stay away from food poisoning and stick to 'safe' sushi. i.e. only vegetables.

When I went for the first time to Clayton, I still didn't eat any with salmon or other raw fish on top...or maybe I did, but only after staring at it for an extended period of time.

Tonight I didn't think twice before stuffing a salmon topped sushi roll into my mouth. All of the different kinds were quite delicious. I only paused once before putting one with salmon roe on top into my mouth (I thought it was caviar at first, but Camila corrected me). That's more like my personality, enjoying food from other countries and not being picky. I must have been in a strange mood the first time in Clayton. Imagine that!

P.S. I love chopsticks! Please, can we eat with them every day?
