the surrEEL life...

ta-da! not only did i brave the sushi yesterday, but i even entertained the eel! the eel was cooked though & had a sauce. and, please forgive me, but it was sorta like a weird chicken flavor!?
It was like the fine dining version of fear factor. though, i did not touch the fish eggs... no way, no how.
i even tried fish raw that I've never even had cooked! salmon, tuna, and something else that was red...
hope i didn't embarrass anyone, as i made them request a knife & then cut the servings into 1/4 size pieces.
overall, i had rice dipped in soy sauce with a little sushi on the bite. so basically it tasted like rice to me...well, rice with a soft, sorta slimy texture. i had to not think about it. cuz when i think about it later, i feel weird...all in the mind i hope. but what a feat for a recent vegan-turned-normal-eater!?
and in other news, i need to think of 3 items under $25 for my "wish list" at one of my jobs. but really there's no point, b/c people give whatever they've got laying around the house or a previous gift to them that they weren't quite fond of. i should know, i try to do the same thing!
