Sushi!

I ate sushi and sashimi! Raw fish! I did it! Can't really believe. Trying not to dwell on it either.

So I know you are all dying to hear about my first time...eating sushi! Vance, Paolo, Inis and I went to Sushisen in Rome (near Piramide metro stop-for those who want to know) (thanks Romy!). We ordered the barca dell'amore and barca dei sashimi! Big boats with raw fish....just another reminder that those raw things came right from the boat to my plate...well sort of!



Oh yeah! I even attempted to use chopsticks! Hello! Poverina, io, I don't know how to use those damn things BUT I tried my best. Vance was so kind to place the raw fishes on my plate so I can somewhat try to maneuver it to my mouth. Next time...to hell with those sticks I'm using my fingers! Mara gave me the ok for next time. But will there be a next time??? hmmmmm. Um, maybe if someone else invites me and wants to pick up the bill. Damn, that stuff is expensive!


I just thank Paolo for the suggestion of a gelato after dinner. I normally get the small, but that night is was medium baby! Oh yeah, I went all out...got panna too! Just needed to make sure the burps wouldn't taste like fish! God I love menta, straciatella e ciccolato! Heavenly!

But in all honesty, do you know what picture flashed in my mind when the waiter placed this huge boat on the table.......

You know which one I'm talking about.......

Let me give you a hint...Mr. Shota Fujiwara....

With the headache....

the man LOVED sushi....

and wanted it as 'alive and raw as possible'....

YEAH You guessed it!!!!!!






HAHAHAHA!!! GROSS!!!!
