sushi

This past Saturday a friend of mine, Cara, and I went and tried a new sushi place in Downtown OKC. The website for the place looked really awesome [www.sushineko.com] and we even had to make a reservation, but I wasn't too sure about it once I got there. I mean, the only times I've ever eaten sushi, I've been to the point of starvation -- meaning that whatever I ate (raw tuna, seaweed, rice, octopus, squid, etc, etc) would have tasted good. But this time -- no, this time -- I was eating sushi because I "liked" it. So what's the verdict?

I love it!! 

I'm just so glad I really honestly, truly love sushi! We split 4 different hand-rolls: Rainbow Roll, Spider Roll, Sassy Shrimp, and Tuna Roll. I was a BIG fan of the spider roll and sassy shrimp. I've had rainbow roll before, and liked it, but this past time I wasn't a fan. 

I bet most of you who have known me or think you know me are scratching your head and thinking, "Rachel does not seem like the adventurous eating type." And my reply is: "Yep, I am and I think that's what is going to make my future adventures in other countries so successful." If I had tried to live in another culture 4 years ago... I wouldn't be caught dead eating anything other than food I've already tasted and enjoy. But now, I'm game for almost anything! (well, except that rainbow roll :))
