On my way home from work tonight, I stopped off for some sushi-takeout and while I waited for my food I knit a row on my shawl. My husband has taken a job that is about 4 miles from home, so I no longer get to knit while he drives our carpool. Such a bummer, I lose a good 45 min to an hour of knitting a day now that I have to drive myself to work. So I knit at any chance I get.
The sushi-woman saw me pull out my knitting while I was waiting, and came over to see what I was making. She really liked the color and asked me to bring it back so she can see how I am doing each time I go in for sushi. I usually stop in at least once a week, but don’t usually bring my knitting because I always order the same thing and call it in. Today I felt like something different, but once I got inside I ended up ordering the same thing anyway. (Spicy Tuna Roll and a Foothill Roll, in case you are wondering.
The shop is called Sushi Time, and Foothill Ranch is my town.)
So, that was kind of cool. I have someone actually interested in what I am making.
What was silly is that I went to lunch at Sakura in Culver City and had such good sushi for lunch. I had a scallop sushi, tuna, and sea urchin and they were so fresh. MMMM I wish I could find the good scallops around my home. I haven’t found a fish market that sells dry scallops. The ones I had from Nova Scotia this past summer were so fresh and sweet. The ones you can buy here have been preserved and taste nothing like real ones.
