Sushi & Whole Foods

Had a lovely lunch with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
corianderstem at I Love Sushi. The company was lovely; the food was OK. A little lacking in quality from what I'm used to there, but it was still decent. There were even BONES in my salmon. Now, I am not someone who is usually squeamish about bones (although fish bones are really small and thus annoying), but it is so not appropriate in sashimi.
Speaking of sushi, I don't think I mentioned that we found a place in the Valley called Midori Sushi that has all you can eat -- but isn't like a sketchy buffet. It has a very decent AYCE menu that includes all kinds of rolls, sushi, and cooked items like tempura and teriyaki, and you order it at your table. For that reason they have a bunch of rules when ordering AYCE, nothing too unreasonable. It was $26 for dinner, which isn't cheap but is a fair price for what you get, as long as you go in with a big appetite and "eat your worth"!
We went to Whole Foods afterward, and even though I spent about $60 I barely have anything to show for it. ( D'oh )
I've started playing Spore. It's fun, though not yet quite as fun as I was expecting. So far I've evolved from being an amoeba to a land creature who's discovered the wonder of fire.
A. also introduced me to Tazo's yummy Apricot Vanilla tea. Am I lame that I use the same teabag for 2-3 cups, maybe one time even 4? It just seems like such a waste to toss it after one use.
