New Things

Saturday night, we tried 2 new restaurants. We went to dinner with friends (Trent and Heidi) and enjoyed Asian Cuisine at Cafe Trang. We settled on restaurants none of us had ever been to before, and were quite pleased with our choices. Josh tried the Caramel Pork and I tried the General Tsao's chicken. We were all feeling adventurous, and decided to continue the adventure at The Happy Sumo. We wanted to try sushi, and none of us had been to Happy Sumo before. It was quite the experience...I really wish I would have grabbed the camera on the way out, because we ate some crazy stuff!! We ordered the Montoc Roll and the Rock'n'Roll roll. The Montoc was: Yellowtail & tempura asparagus, topped with avocado, tuna sashimi, wasabi tobiko & eel sauce. The Rock'n Roll: Salmon, cream cheese, crab & avocado rolled in tempura crunchies topped with baked dynamite, Sumo sauce, and green onions.

Any guesses what tobiko is?? Flying fish eggs. Yep. You read that correctly. Flying fish eggs. I tried both rolls. The four of us shared the rolls, because we had already eaten, and just wanted to be a little adventurous. I would say we were successful...agreed? I'm still alive, and haven't been poisoned by all the raw fish - bonus! Trent and Josh tried the tobiko plain, so I wanted in on the bravery, and did the same. Once I crunched down on them, it was like a mouthful of ocean water. It was a little weird...but I really liked the booths at the restaurant. They had curtains that were pulled back. It was super chic and tons of fun. We split 2 mochi balls for dessert. Mmm...I like mochi - even if it feels like eating a wrinkly old person. :D

It was a fantastic weekend! I forgot what it was like to spend time with the husband. Love him! Sunday we had my Dad over for dinner since my Mom is visiting my brother in Texas. We had chicken tacos. Later we made a cake and had Mika and Jarom over to visit. Oh - and Evan. He's a cute little bug. Can't believe the babe is already crawling! And he's super smiley!

Tonight, I start a 4 week Cake Decorating class at Michael's. I'm so excited! Mika is going to come up and go to the classes with me, so I'm extra excited! One more piece of news - I'm SO CLOSE to being all the way caught up on laundry. Seriously! Oh, and we have just one more room with boxes in it still.

That should just about bring you up to speed!
