Saturday night, Terry and I visited our friend Priscilla for a "sushi night." Terry has been bringing home more sushi than will fit in the fridge when he goes to Publix, and I turn up my nose unless it's California rolls with cooked crabmeat. But this is HIS birthday we were celebrating, so I sucked it up. And I'm glad I did.
We went to this place called Wazzabi in Winter Park, and I decided to be brave and daring and try whatever they ordered. I had a beer before the food arrived to loosen up a bit (Kirin Light--smooth and good) and a big bottle of soy sauce to help the sushi go down. We tried white tuna sushimi, red tuna sushimi, "Jade" roll, "dessert" roll (coconut shrimp and mango), Full Sail roll, spicy tuna roll, Spider Roll, Challenging Roll . . and I tried every single thing they ordered. It was all served on a wooden boat about 2' long and 1' wide. And I tried eel sauce, which sounds like it is made of eel, but it's actually just a sweet sauce that is typically served with eel. I liked the sauce with EVERYTHING. And the eel was actually quite good. I tried sake, too. Not so good. I'll stick with ice cold water with a slice of lemon.
But now I can say that I like sushi. I just know everyone will be so proud.
