The boys in the family don’t care for sushi, so it’s not often I get to eat it. But now and again when my daughter and I are out, we’ll take advantage of the opportunity to eat sushi without them.

Facing another Friday dinner of cheese sandwiches between band practices, I decided it was time for a sushi splurge—vege tempura today, a rather different take on vegetarian sushi from the ubiquitous avocado and carrot filled ones. Sort of a cross between sushi and fish and chips. Not bad, actually, and a nice change from cheese sandwiches.
