Variance--I like soy sauce but hate that wasabi and pickled ginger and never use it.

awesome. Chopsticks just take practice, and they are def baller when on a date. I only put a bit of wasabi in the soy sauce. Apparently the ginger is meant to cleanse your pallet between different types of fish.

Sushi is def. Brag, just take the time to practice with the chopsticks a lil' bit at the table you will get it down in no time.

Damn now you have me craving Sushi AJ

And yes the ginger is meant to cleanse the palate between different dishes....but it still tastes damn nasty

TheChad- Thanks for the congratulations. I'm sorry to hear about your family's loss. It's way more common that we had realized .. somewhere between 1/150 and 1/120.

AJ- The ginger in really good sushi places is really good. The stuff in other places is usually nasty.

Chopsticks are really easy to master - eating rice well with them is a still a little beyond me though.

There's an upscale supermarket around here called Byerly's that has a dude in there making sushi and I've picked some up there a couple times and the ginger is blech. Today I went to a sushi restaurant that was voted tops in the Twin Cities and the ginger was blech.

Talking of first's for food, me tufat and his housemates (one of whom is pretty damn hot btw) went out to an Asian place on Saturday night. Tufat decides to order a starter at random since someone can't choose, and what do we get? fkin tofu. Rigged. God damn that is some disgusting tasting sh*t. Like warm snot-like jelly I guess.
