Hey, if I can find good sushi in my little podunk town here in SC, you should be able to find some too. Sushi places seem to be popping up just everywhere right now. Don't be afraid to try out the hole-in-the-wall type places. Sometimes you can find the best food there.

You can totally get good sushi even if you don't live on the coast.

For me, it's the spicy tuna rolls and sashimi maguro (lots of wasabi, ginger, and SAKE !) thank you very much.

matermama,

You crack me up

About the spelling.....
No worries :wink:

It's a common mistake made by those who don't know the difference between "cheif" and "cheef".

I never have taken it personally.

Besides,
It's just an old screen name I always used when playing video games between classes.

No, wait. I went to class between video games , that's right. 8)

[matermama]

are you going to try it?
Tell me if you do , i always tell people to do this and the look at me like then they do it and they are addicted to it
Picture a bundh of almost over the hill ladies in a circle doing it and the expressions after the wasabi hits em right in the nasal passage
We actually almost got kicked out of one restaurant
you know you want to :wink:

I put in-ground May 16th - largish transplants about 14" -

Been pinchin' off buds for a week or so, and now that I got another 6"new growth I'm gonna let 'em go.

Early girl is setting fruit, and my op's are budding. Even the BW has a few! Too cool.

All are about 30" now.

Ciao all,

Happy and Manyel both have open flowers. Kimberly has a few flowers almost ready to open. Munchkin's Whippersnapper has several open flowers and 1 or 2 tiny tomatoes. So far, that's it for me, but everything is growing well, including the Berkeley Tie Dye that I had to root because I accidentally snapped it off while transplanting it and the Earl's Faux Faux that was almost defoliated at transplant time. Black From Tula is still small, but it's healthy and it's grown some since transplanting. I'm unsure at this point how prolific it will be, but I'll have to wait and see, I guess.

My garden has just gone in over the last week. I find it strange that White Beauty & Giant Belgium are the first to have flowers - not my "earlies".

Hey, you don't have to go to culinary school to make sushi. I've made my own sushi with smoked salmon, and use a rice press to make the nigiri sushi. Don't worry, I know better than to use just any raw fish. I've also made my own ebi nigiri with steamed shrimp. I haven't been brave enough to try rolling the seaweed yet. It's so crumbly. There's got to be a trick to it.

Oh definitely! You haven't lived until you try fresh wasabi, freshly ground from home grown REAL wasabi horseradish. Yum! There's a restaurant in Atlanta that has it. I thought I was in heaven!

Ick! The sushi on Chinese buffets is NOT real sushi. It's kind of like the grocery store sushi. Just doesn't cut it.


I have some almost full sized tomatoes now on my Silvery Fir Tree, Azoychka & SunGold plants. I'm betting I'll have a ripe one before the end of the month, or very early July at the latest. Black from Tula and Cherokee Purple have some nice sized tomatoes too, but not full-sized yet.
