Day 46: Woah Wasabi!

  As I was grocery shopping today to pick up basic items like milk, butter, and bread I happened to stumble upon some pre-packaged sushi.  Now before you fellow sushi lovers cast your judgment upon me, you should know that many grocery stores carry excellent pre-packaged sushi.  *Especially Wegmans* (Quick shout out: I miss Wegmans very much, especially their olive and hummus bar.  I mean seriously what could be better than that?)  Now I know what you're thinking, I going to write about how awful this sushi was and that it gave me a horrible stomach bug or something.  Quite the contrary! The sushi wasn't bad, it wasn't great, but I can't really complain for paying $5.  I only got the california rolls although they did have spicy salmon and spicy tuna-two of my favorites!  I would encourage you to try the sushi at Safeway.  HOWEVER, BEWARE of the WASABI! Holy smokes! I usually put a hearty helping of wasabi on my sushi, but this stuff should come with a caution warning.  I don't know if it was because it was liquid and not the green clay booger the sushi man usually puts on my plate at the restaurant, but this wasabi was lethal.  No seriously my sinuses are still being cleansed.  So today at lunch I generously apply the wasabi on my cali-roll, dip in my soy sauce and in she goes into my mouth.  JASMINE! I was not ready for what was coming next, the burning sensation I felt started in my nose and then went down to my toes.  I would have rather had the nasal scope at the ENT that experience that again!  But, being the masochist that I am I thought, "let's try this again but maybe with less wasabi."  Well my friends the same horrendous burning effect happened, which is when I threw the wasabi in the trash can.  So I caution you if you decide to venture to Safeway and purchase some sushi-use the wasabi responsibly.
