Sushi

This past weekend Terron had softball games so we decided to make a weekend of it and stay down to St. G with my sister and brother-in-law. After the friday night game a group of us went out to samurai 21 for dinner. We sat at the hibachi grill, which in my opinion makes the place so great! Our chef was awesome, he made volcanos out of onions and lit them on fire and threw us shrimp to catch in our mouth. (he kept getting angry with me because when I went to catch it I would close my eyes so it would just bounce off my face and onto the floor) I was entertained and laughed all through dinner. I even tried food the would normally make me sick to think about.....If any of you know me very well, then you know how funny I am about food. Ever since I was little I have been funny about eating certain food. If I thought that it tasted gross then there was no way in the world you were going to change my mind other wise, and I wouldn't try it just to see because I already knew that it was going to be nasty. So I have slightly started to be open minded about things. I was 21 years old when I decided that I would taste some fish. It was tilapia and not fishy at all so believe it or not I decided that I liked it..... go figure. Well friday I tried Salmon and after a lot of convincing Sushi.....Flying fish eggs to be exact. It took a lot of courage to shove that thing in my mouth, it almost came back out I just had to talk myself through it in my head and tell my self not to throw up. However after I got it down it really wasn't that bad taste or texture. I think from now on I am going to try and be better about things because they normally aren't as bad as I think them up to be. All in all we had a blast. Thanks everybody for going with us and Melinda and Curtis for the sushi! We will have to do it again soon!

I was very proud of you pal for eating that sushi. You have come a long ways since the bacon and cocoa days! My fav was when he threw the shrimp at you and it hit you in the mouth and fell on your plate!

I am just the same! If it looks weird, or the name sounds weird, or it smells weird I wont taste it! I have gotten a little better. Sushi isn't too bad. But with me it's the texture of the food that makes the final decision of whether it's good or not. But samurai 21 is way fun!

Wow! good job. I don't think I can eat sushi! It would take a lot of talking myself into swallowing!
