My Ramblings

SUSHI for Lunch!!!!! Part 2

 You all are right, and I should have clarified from the begining.     Sushi (with raw fish) is not best for pregnant women b/c of the possible health risks in cleanliness.  However, Sushi in and of itself is not bad, and can be might good! mmmm b/c the word "sushi" doesn't refer to the raw food.  In fact, it is easily possible to eat sushi made entirely of rice and vegetables.   That's because "sushi" refers to the type of rice that it is made with.  It's a Japanese short-grained white rice.  It's delicious.  My favorites are sushi with smoked salmon (not raw, although I do like it raw, but I have given it up since becoming pregnant) with cream cheese and cucumber, and shrimp tempura ("tempura" refering to the fried batter).  It's basically fried shrimp.  DELICIOUS!!!  I do appreciate all of y'all's concern for me and the little baby, though! It's sweet!

Now, for the Part 2 part.  I was not able to eat said sushi.  They were closed.

Never knew that it referred to the type of rice before. Sorry to hear the shop was closed.
Hope you ended up with a nice lunch anyway.

I lived in Okinawa for 10 years and I recall that Sashimi was the raw fish and is entirely different than Sushi! Sushi is more of the sweet rice and seaweed!! and then whatever they want to stuff it with!
