Sushi tradition

tonite we met wes and juju at sakurabana. it's another japanese restaurant downtown. i've seen it a few times but never made it there before. they had a roll that was called the macadamia nut. it's pretty much an eel/avacado roll covered in macadamia nuts. actually i take that back, it wasn't covered it was smothered. i liked it though. now if they added mango to that roll it would be amazing like the beforetime shogun.

after we ordered we all exchanged christmas presents. we also noted that last year's xmas exchange was over a sushi dinner. maybe this is a new tradition of ours.

i ended up getting a vase for knitting needles, which sounds funny, but is actually really awesome. it's made of rubber so it won't ruin the ends of the needles and then you can have a place to put them. it actually looks pretty cute all filled with needles. almost like one of those frangance diffuser vases with all the sticks sticking out of it.

sidenote: we gave wes a box of corn on the cob flavored microwave popcorn. he's told us that he hearts sweet corn flavored microwave popcorn, but that he ends up getting it from people who go to canada. i found it at the grocery outlet and thought it was weird enough that perhaps it was the american version. anyone know?
