Memorial Day = No school. (8
Kent made me go with him to a picnic in Colombia Park with his friends. We were actually supposed to go at lunch (so I turned down an offer to have Chipotle), but we ended up going at like ... 3. |: Anyhow, he made these rice balls and they were pretty good. I liked the one with the seafood-like fillings better; the other ones had pickled plum, and the taste was such a shock! I don't think I've ever had anything quite like it hahah.
Afterwards they played a little baseball.Overall, it was alright I guess. It's just that Kent didn't talk to me that much, and his friends didn't talk to me, like, at all lol, so I felt really awkward being there. So I'd be lying if I said I wasn't relieved when we finally left.
When I got home, I was saying to Mom how lame it was that we didn't even go out for the holiday, so she asked me to look up some restaurants. She was in a sushi mood, but our usual place was closed, so she asked me to call Jen ("She's Japanese, she should know!") and ask her. Jen recommended Sushi Sakae (but it's take-out only, apparently) and Sushi Sumo. We called both places, and Sushi Sakae was closed, so we looked up directions and headed over to Sushi Sumo.
They have all these polaroids on their walls (like Tampopo!) AND A ROTATING SUSHI BAR! 8D
... But the bar was kind of crowded so we just had a seat at a normal table lol.
We ordered our usuals at Tampopo (Baked Salmon, BSC), plus a Vegas Roll, and their Flaming Joy Roll, which the waitress had recommended. It has this spicy orange mayo sauce, and I didn't like it much, but Mom really liked it lol. Pretty good, overall. I wouldn't mind coming back again. (:
