No, Just No

Perhaps I lack sophistication Maybe I am just a downhome kind of girl, or even a bit picky (but I don't think it is that).

But I simply have to say, I tried and I just don't like sushi.

The seaweed is chewy and bitter, the bites way too big and it grosses me out. Wrap that up in raw and you get..... Big Fat Yuck.

That is all!

    I feel that way about the raw bits! The bites are too big. Always want a knife!

    The only sushi I like are California Rolls. My reason for not eating other sushi is it freaks me out. Raw fish seems unsafe to me.

    I hate the black tar paper they wrap that stuff in. I tried a California Roll one time. One time, one bite, and that was enough. I didn't taste Avocado or Crab or Cucumber or even Rice. All I tasted was black tar paper. Big fat yuck is right.

    I will never knowingly (unless under duress) put a piece of raw fish in my mouth. Nope, not gonna happen. I've had some lovely sushi-like rolls that have avocado or cucumber or carrots rolled up inside, and I like those. But the raw fish is a step too far. If I lack sophistication, so be it!

    I won't eat raw fish. Hell, I barely eat cooked fish. The only sushi I eat is California Roll and we always make sure to get sesame seeds on the outside, not the seaweed wrapper. And yes, it takes me two bites to eat one piece. My theory is that sushi is designed to fit the male mouth.

    Just learned that even "raw" fish used for sushi MUST be flash frozen before it is used. That's what kills the parasites a 400lb tuna will invariably pick up in it's lifetime.

    Yum.

A Journey To Home

My tender hearted girl decided she wanted to foster an old lady. Selkie is 14, is nearly deaf and nearly blind, has a hard time walking and uses her bark to get her needs met.  She got her home, took her for a bath and then basically loved this old girl for three weeks until the property manager decided that it wasn’t a good match (barking too much AND because she is a pit bull).  My girl knew it was probably temporary but she gave that dog a comfortable loving home, away from the chaos of the shelter, for a short time.  Ideally, she would have walked her home but that’s not how it worked this time.  Last night she stood and ugly cried on a strangers shoulder after giving her back.  I love that girl and her sweet heart.  I wish Selkie a new final home full of love.

Private Eye

We pass by the house frequently since it sits on a busy thoroughfare. We know to look every time we pass and guess what will we see. Will it be the two Dalmatians, sitting on the couch that backs up to the giant panel window, waiting for their human to come home? Or will it be their human, sitting slightly to the right of middle (allowing for a better view of the giant mounted tv across the room) of the said couch. They are never there at the same time. It’s one or the other. One sleepless night, when my body was willing but my brain was not, I did a little sleuthing. It’s amazing what you can find out about a complete stranger.   His name is Gary and, from what I can tell, he’s never been married. He has worked his way up in a air duct company. He’s now the senior VP but it’s a small company and he still goes out on jobs, judging from  the reviews on Yelp. I know he has two siblings and that their father passed away in 2018. His memorial was held in a Buddhist temple and Gary...

Go!

 Vai. E, se der medo, vai con medo mesmo. When one is raised in an angry family, it’s not enough to say I don’t want to be angry. You must learn how to do it differently. That’s no easy task. If judgment and self hatred became a way of life, a new way to live has to be taught. There are many ways to do it. Reading, writing, sharing, practicing all help the change. Counseling, psychoanalysis, religion, meditation, gratitude, have the ability to transform but I needed to see it in action, it needed to be more tangible, visual, accessible. I needed to understand the possibilities. There is a YouTube channel that I watch over and over again in order to absorb how to live more fully, more open and from the heart. One of the first episodes that I stumbled on is this…. The channel is Reflections of Life and through it we get to meet people who are doing life a little differently, often more soul based. People who are living life, healing wounds and finding what is truly important.  I...
