Yesterday we went to a sushi place in Scottsdale after Carrie picked me up at work. I want to go back
Egg Omelet, Philadelphia Roll, Rainbow Roll, Spicy Tuna. All chosen to be happy for younger palates. Carrie and I ate too many bites. Eddie and Jack didn’t eat enough. And Eddie REALLY objected to the idea and quietly and stubbornly faced away from the table. When he wasn’t doing that he was playing and dunking his nigiri-sushi in soy sauce. And dunking. And dunking. And dunking. Added tension to what could have been a fun experience. We knew things weren’t going to go well when Eddie didn’t want to bite into the culinary adventure and abject horror that is … a spring roll.
Mostly there was a kid having a bad day, who stayed silent and heard no a lot. It happens, unfortunately. Jack, too, didn’t eat much though he got into the egg omelet later. But he didn’t seem to be having a whole lot of fun, separate from the food at the table.
It was complicated.
No water. I rinsed my toothbrush with vodka ;-)
At Work
Vidration Vitamin Enhanced Fruitpunch flavored water
Bolthouse Farms Blue Goodness (not their best flavor, thought I would like it more)
Numi Organic Tea (moroccan mint (damn good).
No idea if we sell, them, but they’re tasty. Tried a few earlier today. Worm and bear gummies, wit fiber or multivitamin:
Gummy Get Well™.
Call it enforced research. I’m eating ice cold and soft things due to wisdom teeth removal and the $$$ that went into my mouth.
It’s tender. It aches. It’s not as bad I thought it might be. It is still bleeding slightly, even now at the end of Friday.
Ice cream.
Frozen yogurt.
Gelato.
The basics.
I ate three pints yesterday on a day off. I’ve drunk more water today and only had two.
One of those I downed today was a pint of a quite delicious “non-dairy frozen dessert” that I didn’t know was non-dairy. Made from cashew nut milk, it’s pretty damn good and rich. Made by Organic Nectars, I had the Cherry Chocolate Chunk (and just sort of swallowed the small chunks without chewing). Note I’m pretty sure we don’t sell it at Sprouts, where I work. Have absolutely no idea if we will or not. But it’s good…
So the research comes because, as well I do freelance work, and I will likely be designing some gelato labels. It’s on spec with a different department right now, but ….
