...or... "Cheating on Sharon with Brett!"
GASP! Brett volunteered to EAT OUT with me tonite (usually he prefers to bring food back home), AND was agreeable to going to House Gourmet, where he's been very reluctant to go with me. I'm TOTALLY glad he decided to go with me - dinner time is an even better experience than Sharon and I usually have for lunch!
Shortly after we were seated we were presented with hot moist towels to wash our hands. I think it was after we placed our orders that they brought out the mini spring rolls for us - on the house! Then we got the edamame in pods I ordered for an appetizer. And then dinner came - General Tso's Chicken and Chicken with Brocolli. Sure, these are standard issue carry out or buffet Chinese dishes, but they taste soooo much better and fresher at House Gourmet, plus they had fun ornaments carved from what I'm assuming are radishes - one with a large white swan, and the other with a salmon-colored rose.
I took pictures (mostly to send Sharon and make her jealous!), but without using the flash (which would've washed them out anyhow) they turned out a little dark and fuzzy. Anyhow - here they are:
And then after our leftovers were boxed up we were presented with an interestingly carved half orange, with toothpicks for each of us to eat it with. Very nice!
Will have to get Sharon there for dinner sometime, I know Brett'll be willing to go back, ANNNND we'll have to round up some other friends to go - hopefully friends who're adventuresome enough to eat the sushi with Sharon and I!!! Dave - whaddaya think - would the guys go for something like this!?

I just had to share, all you foodies will be really proud.. I got second place in our Fall Festival dessert competition.. I made caramel apple crisp.. Don't you just love good yummy food!!
Brian and I are willing to be "those friends." We both eat sushi, and Brian will also drink beer and make jokes to amuse the table.
Sounds like we missed our opportunity to join you guys for sushi tonite Jess! So did you take pics to post? Your link doesn't go to an active site right now - are you planning on putting your site back up any time??
Brian said you guys got the sweet potato tempura sushi - DAMN fine stuff, hunh? I think Sharon and I are planning to get that this Thurs! ;-)
Oh wow Alison - congrats!! So do you have pics posted anywhere? And your recipe!?
