Last Wednesday...

In spite of the loss of a few yeahs and maybes, Sushi Night at Ohana went well. This was my first time to the Japanese Polynesian tikki bar, and while I had heard reports of its goodness, I was still happily surprised. From the decor to the food, it's a lot of fun. The service in the bar while we grazed on happy hour gyoza and sushi hand rolls (the cone shaped ones) and the service at the table rated far above the typical. A glance at the menu might make Ohana look like an expensive place, but as ironymaiden noted, the drinks are enormous and don't skimp on the booze. All the food that we ordered was delicious. I strongly recommend the "half-baked" sushi roll and the bananas on fire dessert.

( What we ate )

I was happy to spend some time talking to varina8, who I don't see often enough, and amheriksha, who is now employed in downtown Seattle, which means more after-work socializing, yay! As ever, ironymaiden and llynecat and samildanach are great company & conversation at dinner. Hopefully, heidimo and graphxgrrl and the rest of you sushi-nighters will join us for the next one. Ohana does happy hour all evening on Monday nights; we may need to go there again.

Besides Sushi Night:

I'm back from a meet-up with buhrger, which is likely to be but hopefully won't be the only visit while he's here in Seattle. We tromped around Lincoln Park after a yummy lunch at Royal India, where today the gulab jamun are Italian and the rice pudding is French.

(Or so the ladels indicated. ^_~ )

We walked past Colman Pool. I am reminded that I still have not had a swim there. Where is that swimsuit?

Something is very strange... because there was no chocolate. I didn't notice the lack until just now. It's a bit upsetting, like declaring more planets in the solar system.

Since I haven't been posting about much recently, I caught him up on recent events and occasions, and now I'll do the same for you, with some more. ( Choosing a doctor, DeVotchKa, a week of good eating, and Snakes )

A salon & massage business has opened on the first floor of the building in which I work. I see an after-work chair massage or facial in my future.
