Dinner at Matsuri

Yuuuuuuuuuum.

I had one of my never-ending cravings for sushi tonight for dinner, even though I’d planned to cook kangaroo sausage casserole. However, I received my tax return today (yay!) so we decided to go out for dinner before going to buy puppy supplies (!!). It was really good, despite the trashy skanks who totally pushed in front of us in the line to be seated – but that’s another story. They were obviously on a mission that night. Our food more than made up for the rudeness of other people!

We started with a couple of entrees (iPhone photos, I’m afraid!) — beef tataki…

…and tsukune (chicken meatballs).

And for mains, Rhys had the katsu chicken curry and a Sapporo beer (or two!)…

… and I had the small sushi set (and a glass – or two – of savignon blanc).

This sushi was sooooo good and totally hit the spot. The set meals were served with marinated bean shoots, miso soup, and salad with ginger sauce, and if you order something like chicken teriyaki or katsu curry, the rice is included as well (obviously my sushi already involved rice!). I’ve been getting a bit bored with the stock-standard sushi available in the take away sushi places that I frequent often, but this – especially the salmon! – was really refreshing.

I’m going out for dinner tomorrow night also, which means that I probably shouldn’t have eaten out tonight, but oh well! I’m eying off the seared tuna and pickled vegetables dish that I’ve seen on the menu… yum yum.

PS: If this looks completely messed up, my apologies. WordPress and my computer? They hate each other. This just isn’t happening lately. Nothing looks right on my screen and I can’t fix it and it’s giving me the royal poos :(

(My post from earlier today has disappeared! Boooo. It was a good one too.)

    Hey Erin (fab name ;) )! Thanks for your comment on my blog! That’s awesome that you’re a full time PhD-er. I also really love that you swear and have a disclaimer about it. Totally awesome. I plan on taking a look around your blog too! Thanks for the advice on grad school, I’m excited to go back to school again – which is beyond weird, but cool!

      Hi other Erin!

      Thanks for stopping by :) I have been really enjoying your blog and can’t wait to read more either!

      Studying is awesome, and if you’re excited to do it, I’m sure you’ll do well. Just make sure you’re studying for the right reasons, and you’ll have no problems!

  2. Yum, the food looks great!

    About your WordPress issues: have you considered using a theme that’s a bit wider (as in the bits with the writing is wider). This would solve part of your photo issues getting mixed up with your writing.

      Hi Angie,

      I have been looking for a new theme, but one of the OTHER problems I have with my computer + WordPress is that dashboard pages rarely load up properly, so actually seeing the options of themes to choose from is just not happening. I keep meaning to do it from work, but forgetting. I used to have a wider theme so think I will just go back to it… bloody annoying, let me tell you! Thanks for the advice :)
