    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

First time eating Sushi. Tuna on a bed of shredded crab meat, laced with some tiny fish egg looking stuff and some seaweed and avocado over rice. It came with 6 sauces of which I liked all but 2 of them. I was surprised but it was a very tasty meal. Wife brought it home for me. Her and her brother and sister met for dinner to discuss her parents care.

Glad you liked it, but that's one type of food I just can't work up any appetite for. I don't really like "conventional" seafood anyway, and raw stuff has even less appeal! A lot of people absolutely love it, so maybe I'm missing out. I can live with that. :)
 
I actually thought same thing that I'd hate it. I was more worried about texture than taste but it was surprisingly good and nice to enjoy something different.

I don't know why I hesitated because I've always loved raw oysters but haven't had those lately because of price.

I remember going to Lee and Ricks Oyster Bar in Orlando in early 70's and I think they were a dollar a dozen then. I had a half a dozen at Red Lobster about a decade back and not the same.
 
I love sushi and would eat it every day if I could. There's a ton of variety and it doesn't have to include raw fish, though without it I don't consider the meal "sushi".

There's a restaurant near me that makes a great tuna sashimi salad.
 
I like sushi, too, but I seldom eat it, unless I am on the road. I love the hot sauce that burns the sinuses.
My wife absolutely hates sushi, which I find odd- because she has never tried it.

Wasabi is great on a lot more than sushi. If you want to have fun with people at a pot luck, add a bit of it into the egg yolk mixture when making deviled eggs.
 
That seems like a good idea, but my family really isn't "fun" in that sense. Quite the opposite, in fact.
