"Give it to us raw and wriggling."

Last week Mel said four little magic words to me: "Let's go get Sushi."

I love Sushi, so I wasted no time agreeing to that one and Monday we went to Benihana's with some friends of ours for a Sushi lunch. It was delicious. Mel and I both got the lunch special which is two full rolls and a bowl of Miso soup for $10. Mel got an Alaskan roll, which consists of rice, seaweed, cucumber, and raw salmon, and a Vegas roll which is crab with cucumber, avacado, seaweed and rice deep fried and topped with a jalapeno slice and a dab of hot sauce. Both were excellent.

I had a Rainbow roll, which is a standard rice roll topped with three different kinds of fish, Salmon, Tuna, and Yellowtail, and a Dragon roll, topped with Eel. Eel is by far the best Sushi you can get. Unlike the others, the Eel is actually cooked in a type of BBQ sauce. Very tasty.

And the best part? Rylee enjoyed the sushi, too. Mel fed her several bites of her Alaskan roll, which she ate enthusiastically. When asked if it was good, she nodded her head and said through a full mouth, "Mm Hmm."

Below is a picture of Rylee taking a bite of Mel's Alaskan Roll.
