Okay, I should come clean, Hannah and I don’t eat RAW sushi, at all!  We love the cooked stuff!  Tony on the other hand only likes the raw stuff (and the gross stuff if you ask me!)

Started the night with this beer – so light and refreshing – they just came out with a light beer not too long ago (at least its new to me!)

Hannah and I ended up spliting four appetizers – each one cost $4.95 – not too bad!

gyoza - Japanese style dumplings

shumai - deep fried shrimp dumplings

age-dashi tofu - fried tofu with sauce

harumaki - Japanese vegetarian spring rolls

My favorite hands down was the fried tofu.  The batter is corn starch of all things!  (I asked).  It is so creamy in the middle it melts in your mouth.  Hannah didn’t like the sauce that the spring rolls were sitting in so next time we’ll probably ask for sauce on the side.

Tony’s plate was all things raw!

The grossest thing on his plate by far is the whole head shrimp – here’s a picture of him just about to bite down on the shrimp eye!

icky!
icky!

So I did get let out at 3:00 today, which meant we were able to finish our last minute grocery shopping and dinner and back home by 6:30!  Nice, which leaves Hannah and I plenty of time to put the pecan pie together, her two casseroles and my macaroni and cheese – yum!  The full menu will be posted tomorrow!

Hope everyone who was traveling got to their destinations safely!  See you tomorrow for Gobble Gobble Day!

AND A HUGE THANK YOU GOES OUT TO HANNAH WHO CLEANED THE WHOLE HOUSE ON HER DAY OFF FROM SCHOOL TODAY!  She organized my refrigerator, freezer, pantry, tupperware drawer, utencil drawer, cooking supplies and two cupboards!  All that’s left to do tomorrow is mom the kitchen floor and a quick vacuum – whew!  I don’t know where she gets her organizational skills from – definitely not me!
