A 100 Follower Sushi Celebration!

Due to the Anniversary Amore Blog Hop, I gained some new followers!  Yay!  Welcome to all of my new crafty friends!  In celebration of surpassing 100 followers (I really didn't think that would happen), Howard and I went out to our local sushi place.  In reality, we had just been craving it since we don't eat it as often anymore, so this was a good reason to splurge.

It was crowded, but then again, it was a Saturday night.  I wasn't so fond of the people sitting to one side of us.  It was a group of 3 guys who were clearly having fun with the drinks and the sake.  They didn't do anything bothersome, but I just felt uncomfortable.  When I'm out having dinner, I want it as calm as possible without worrying about people around me.  To start, we shared a miso soup that came with one of our orders.  Then we also had spring rolls.  The menu said 4, but we actually got 5 (haha, i already have one on my plate).  I think this is the first time we ever ordered anything that was hot from the menu!

We didn't get any sashimi this time.  We just a variety of rolls.  A lot of it was actually spicy for me.  I guess the chefs added more sriracha when mixing.  It was good though.  I just needed a lot of that green tea!

This was one of the the maki combination.  It had a salmon roll, a shrimp tempura roll, and a California roll.  Howard and I both have a weak spot for Cali rolls.  Even though we love love LOVE the raw stuff, there's something about the simplicity of a California roll that just hits the spot.  It's a good palate cleanser.  Plus, there's avocado in it!  Delish!  On days when we're kind of craving sushi but decide not to have raw, we get 3 Cali rolls each with a soup or salad from a place closer to Howard's house.  He'll bring it over on a Saturday, and we just sit and relax while watching something like Harry Potter or Lie to Me or Burn Notice!

I love all my Saturday dates with my guy!  I can't wait until we're married when I don't have to wait for that one day a week to spend time with him!

Anyway, thank you to all of my followers, new and old!  I know I don't post as much as I used to, but that'll hopefully change when wedding planning and lesson planning are done for the year!  Thanks for sticking with me!
