Sushi Night and a Surprise Gift

I'm very possibly the pickiest person on the planet.  I don't eat seafood, eggs; I'm not really into dairy.  I could live without cheese, and find most fruits to be foul.

Can you imagine how fun dinnertime was when I was as a kid?  Thank goodness I was adorable!

I mean, I did like the things that were GOOD - - Meatloaf, Kraft Mac and Cheese, tacos, cucumbers, and peanut butter sandwiches.  While that seems like enough to survive on then, I've expanded my palate quite a bit since then. 

Thankfully for my eating plan, I'm a pretty big veggie fan.  Otherwise, I'd be in TROUBLE.  I really don't know how people survive if they don't like vegetables.

On Friday night after work, I met up with my friend Robin for Sushi!  I looked at the menu for Happy Sumo before I committed to eating there.  As mentioned, I'm not into seafood... but I've LOOOOVED some garden veggie sushi in the past and ate an insane Rabbit Roll once.  

I decided to give Happy Sumo a go.... and I get it!  I understand why people love sushi!  I was totally craving it the next day!  It's addictive!  Here's what we had...

We started out with some yummy (and salty) edamame... Mmmmmm.

I also had a cucumber roll and avocado roll, made with soy paper - - YUM!

I ordered a side of steamed veggies too, and got this HUGE plate.

Robin got a Bento box and insisted on a pic too.

I also received a surprise gift!  Very unexpected.... but Robin brought me some fun, bright kitchen stuff!  Expect to see these guys in future recipe posts!!  Thanks, Robin!

How fun is this stuff???
