I have a new addiction

A wise friend once mentioned to me that eating sushi will lead to an addiction.

I didn't believe him. I should've listened.


I'd always wanted to try it, but never had the nerve, as I didn't want to eat something that I wasn't going to like. I felt like I needed a guide. I never really got one, but I did have a coworker give me a piece of his spicy tuna tempura roll. I liked it. A lot.

Soon after came an urge to try it again. I had a coworker who loved California rolls. I liked them in the past. Now, they seem pedestrian and bland. I haven't even skimmed the surface when it comes to sushi. Individual bites of goodness.

I will admit, I'm still not a great fan of sashimi. I liked the salmon well enough, but it still seemed a bit bland. I like the blending of multiple flavors, though.

So, today I brought home for lunch a few different things. Our local place does takeout. I had a roll with snow crab, albacore and lobster with a spicy sauce over the top (and a little bit of tiny salmon eggs). The lobster/tuna top (the crab was inside) was baked. I also had the spicy tuna tempura (still seems to be hanging in there as my favorite, but that may change over time), as well as something they called a mango roll. It was spicy tuna, mango, avocado wrapped with something other than nori. I don't know what it was, but it was white. It was served with a pepper/mango sauce. It was yummy. Almost like dessert, but with a bit of a spicy kick.


Yes, Virginia. I have a problem.
