Lunch Date

Today I had a lunch date with Travis.  This is where we went.
Zen Sushi is on Merrimon Avenue.

This was fun for me, because I rarely get to eat sushi.    And
because I don't eat it often,  the menu looked pretty foreign
to me.  Travis had to help me order...

... and give me a lesson with these.

For an appetizer, we had pan fried Pork Gyoza.  Man were they

good.  I could have just eaten another order of these and been 

perfectly happy.

We shared this plate of yumminess.  

First the Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll.  This I have had before.  

Travis said it is "entry level" sushi.   Well, I moved up from

there.  In the center was the Rock N' Roll - a special roll with

shrimp, avocado and cream cheese inside, salmon and lime 

on top.  It was good.

But we both thought the U.S.A. Roll was the best.  A tempura

fried roll with spicy crab and cream cheese inside with hot eel

sauce on top. (shown on the left)

This meal was definitely an adventure for me.  I tried all kinds

of things I had never had before and loved it all!

It's a little hard to believe that this son of mine, who used to be

the pickiest eater I had, is eating food like this now.

Thanks Travis for a fun lunch.
