Eat your sushi with your hand.

yup, I was always taught it's perfectly acceptable to eat sushi with your fingers

then your hands get all sticky, which make for awkward high fives.

Why are you high fiving while eating sushi?

As for sticky hands, your hands shouldn't get to sticky, unless rice wasn't prepared properly.

Where's Old Pa? He hasn't been around for a while now.

why wouldn't i be high fiving while eating sushi?

i was mostly just trying to be funny

Oh, I know. I was expecting for some random reply.

Spaghetti with meatball & sausage.

Grilled Pesto, Turkey and Ham Sandwich on Marble Rye. Just made it up put tastes good to me!

Vindaloo from Bombay Curry Company -- quite possibly the hottest thing I've ever eaten and will eat again.

A couple of New York Strips with a grilled radichio, leek and toasted pine nut salad. Dressed with balsamic, Tuscan herb infused olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper.

boiled peanuts

Not now, but just got back from Pilin, and they gave me a free desert...again! They must really love me there. I came just before closing, and they waved me down, "sit, sit, eat, eat", making me feel very welcome, and not intruding on their closing time at all. After which I watched them turn 4 people away because they were closed. Not rude, but just calm, consistent, "no, I'm sorry, we're closed", "no, not even for take out", etc. I wonder if they have to go through that every night. But I sat by the window, and practically flaunted my meal in their faces. Not on purpose, just worked out that way. I probably saw as many people and/or groups of people stop by, look in the window, check out the menu, and -- yes, visibly -- think to themselves, "I really need to check this place out when it's open, that looks good."

Roasted garlic cashews. Cashews are addictive.

rare bison flank steak, egg noodles, and corn

That sounds really good. Bison is almost as good as venison.

sushi grade salmon and zucchini (mock pasta)

Kerrygold Aged white cheddar with Irish stout -- and I forgot to mention yesterday I had some Kerrygold aged white cheddar with Irish whiskey which was superb! I only meant to eat half, but I ended up eating the whole thing.
