Sushi

So we have been on a sushi kick if you hadn't noticed.....anyway, we decided to go to sushi yet again last night.  We called Kristie and Patrick to see if they wanted to go and we all headed off for Kobe Sushi.  I have been trying to get Andy to go back, but he has been reluctant since trying the Hellfire Challenge.  Kobe is my favorite of all the places we've been.  It was fun too because Kristie is a sushi virgin practically so we got to introduce her to several kinds.  It was all delicious.  There were several people there trying the challenge and one of them succeeded while we were there.  Andy decided he really does want to try again since he knows how he went wrong the first time (he didn't pace himself) but at a later time.  The head chef and owner, Alex, remembered us and after we were done eating he came over to our table and talked sushi with us and then he brought out a bottle of wine that you could tell was his personal bottle and not one that is sold.  He gave us each a shot and toasted us for being sushi people and coming back.  He is such a fun guy to talk to and I thought that was wonderful what he did.  He told us about his fish and his Kobe beef and that he imports most of it three times a week straight from Japan.  He doesn't like the local stuff, it isn't good enough he says.  LOL  He also showed us his Kobe beef certificate that is proof that his is authentic and the good stuff rather than the local Kobe "style" beef which I hear isn't near the same.  One of these days I want to try Kobe beef, but it is so stinking expensive it would have to be a very special occasion. I wish I had asked for a picture of us schmoozing with the owner. 
We went back to Kristie and Patrick's house and hung out for a while and had some drinks. 

Today I worked for several hours to make up time and try to stay caught up and Andy went to Mikey's to help him with computer issues and then we both have just been playing wow and being bums all evening.  It's been nice.
