:whoo:SUSHI :whoo:

I just love the stuff! I am a big fan of it all. When I first started going to Japanese restraunts I only ate the "California Rolls" because I was so afraid of the raw stuff.... Now I am a full blown sushi junkie! I start off my meal with a delicious bowl of Cucumber soumono (spelling)

See below:

It is refreshing and tangy as, I think they marinate the cucumber in it overnight. It is usually topped with crab and "tako" also known as octopus! YUMMO!

The next course I order is the beautiful RAINBOW ROLL ...

The roll is usually a combination of crab, cucumber - tuna, yellowtail, shrimp, salmon, avocado, layered outside. At the sushi restraunt I go to I have the sushi man dress up my roll a bit more (as if it should be the roll in itself is a meal and is usually $15) with a drizzle of a "sweet" sauce, which kind of tastes like teriyaki, and on top of that crumbled macadamia nuts - "Big Island Roll" is what I call it.

Check it out (this picture does not show the sauce and macadamia nuts.. it is a picture of a true Rainbow Roll... which is great too):

All this sushi talk is making my mouth water! I am sipping on a "Premier Nutrition" protein shake at the moment and it is not too shabby.

You can guess what I am craving now for lunch....
