Broccoli vs. Mooseburgers


When Barack (actually it was an Aide) asked me if I could steam him (Barack) some broccoli, I said, "Could I suggest sushi?"

Soho
My favorite sushi bar in downtown Cedar Falls. We got crab dip with fried pita pieces, a tiger roll (crab, eel, avocado, cucumber), a crunchy calamari roll (with carrots and cucs), and tempura calamari. We had already consumed the tempura asparagus when I decided I needed to take the above picture (I pretended to be reading a text message-stealthy, huh?) of what became one of my favorite meals this year. I think the only other meal I have taken a picture of was my first home cooked meal in Morocco by Omar's mother...colorful, exotic, with unfamiliar aromas and back when we only had bag phones.

And tonight as I was eating, I thought to myself, "I wonder if Sarah Palin has ever ate sushi or couscous or a good Irish stew (oh, wait a minute...that was only a refueling stop)?"

  1. Yes the stop to get more gas was
    a dinger. How dumb does she think
    people are? How dumb is she would
    be a better question. Glad to
    hear your meal was so good. It
    just doesn't look like my kind of
    food but suppose thats why I look
    the way I do compared to you.
    Guess there are some blacks against
    Obama according to his speech today
    in FL. He handled it fine tho, I
    thought. Haven't seen much of Palin
    lately? Maybe she is still looking
    out the window at Russia? Week from
    today is the first presidental
    debate so get ready. I'll have to
    tape the first part of it,I suppose.
