Rise and shine, morning glory. π I hope you slept well.
Tabs has been keeping new hours lately, staying up later at night and sleeping in later in the mornings. Right now he’s conked out at the top of his cat tower, with his cute kitty tail poking out through the hole in the bottom of the cubby. That’s sort of like his version of a hotel room’s “Do not disturb” sign, so I’ll leave him be while I have my coffee, and you and I catch up.
Other than dinner at a Japanese restaurant I’d never been to before, my Friday night was blissfully uneventful. Dinner was great, even though I was a little concerned right after placing my order…
“I’m sorry,” the waiter replied, visibly distraught. “We’re out of the regular white rice tonight.”
The words hung over the table for a few seconds before I could formulate a thought.
Wait — what? How does a Japanese restaurant run out of rice? Isn’t that like an Italian restaurant running out of pasta or a burger joint running out of buns?
I shifted uneasily in my seat looking over at the chefs working behind the bar. “So what are you guys using for the sushi?”
“Oh, I can get you some of the sushi rice,” the waiter answered, his eyes lighting up at the suggestion. “Would you like a bowl of that?”
“Uh…sure. Is it just regular sticky rice?”
“Mm hmm. Would you like a bowl of the sushi rice instead?”
Instead? Instead of what? “Yes, please.” This is weird. “Thank you.”
LOL! It was just a little confusing at the time, but I get it now. The steamed white rice they serve in bowls at the tables is slightly different than the steamed white rice they use to make sushi.
Anywho, it’s still early here. Cut me some slack. π

I used to adore sushi until I had one time where the sushi was bad and now i’m scarred forever! what a shame!
I don’t like raw fish, but my favorite sushi rolls are California and salmon skin.
LOVE LOVE SUSHI!
I looove sushi. And I like a smokey eye for a dinnerdate!
i’m a little embarrassed to say that i’ve never actually had sushi. i had one california roll once, and that’s it. i really have to get on the ball with that one!
i don’t like sushi π
up way too early on a saturday!
Funny you mention Sushi. The first time I ever tried it, I was so reserved about it I didn’t give it a fair try, and hated it. Months later I realized I hadn’t been fair to dear Sushi, so I gave it another try at a different restaurant (this time at a new Hibachi joint that opened up in town). After having it a second time, and being more adventurous about it, I realized Sushi isn’t that bad!

My favorite restaurant is the cheesecake factory
I’m watching “Cats 101” right now, and it’s making me think of Tabs!
I have to try sushi! π
I hate sushi, I had a terrible experience the first time I had which involved wasbi and my intense hate for spicy foods, I have been traumatized since.
I guess that’s because sometimes the rice used to make sushi has a bit of rice vinegar on it. Perhaps he was scared it’s taste different, which just happens if you use too much, so I guess he just worried too much?
Hugs!

Hi ! Thanks for this give away π
I don’t ike sushis.. I don’t like fish either π
xxx Laura
I love sushi! so delicious. I really could use this giftcard π thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Sushi is my favorite! In fact, we just went to a sushi place for lunch Thursday. Luckily, they had rice.
I love sushi π
Thanks for the giveaway!!
I’m at work on a Saturday morning. How sucky is that?
This giveaway would make my week!
I don’t really have a favorite restaurant, but pretty much any that has a good cheeseburger has my business!
I have several little black cocktail dresses π
CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP….. shark week is over but sushi is still my fav π
Happy Saturday! I can totally see Tabs snoozing away in his cat tower. What a ham.
My favorite restaurant is called FIG (Food Is Good). Here in sunny Charleston, SC, it is incredible beautiful food. All fresh, all from locally owned farms and fishmongers. The head chef Mike Lotta has been featured in Bon Appetit many times. I swear that food is magical.
I really love sushi, but not the conventional kind with a lot of raw fish. Sushi rice is different because they put rice vinegar in it! Gives it a slightly tangy taste.
As for a date night look, I like to smoke it out with a saucy smokey eye. Not too much, but definitely something to dress up the eyes.
I haven’t had sushi in so long!
I’ve never had sushi either,lol! But thanks so much for the giveaway!
Cacau is right–sushi rice is seasoned with vinegar, sugar and salt. It’s different from regular white rice. The waiter probably thought that you wanted the unseasoned plain rice, but they were out of it. I love rice and I love sushi rice and I love sushi. ; )
I’m typing this from my new computer for college!! Woo Hoo!
Saturday night Sushiiiiii π xx
Mmmmm sushi! I love sushi!
I’m missing my other half so much. Wish I could hear from him soon. and he comes back from the road soon
Hanging out with Mom today. Always look forward to that π
I just went for sushi for lunch, yesterday! It was a friend’s recommendation, but it wasn’t very good. What’s unfortunate is this is her second not-so-great recommendation for sushi, and she’s kind of killing my taste for sushi altogether. What a shame, since it used to be one of my favorites π
I absolutely Love sushi My first time eating sushi was horrible! So the second time I tried it I was a little scared but the first bite was just amazing and I’ve been obsessed since. We just have to know how to find places with really good sushi:)
i’m having my third term exam tomorrow. ):
I got woken up today to watch soccer… and they lost haha. Shoulda stayed in bed!
I promised to take my boyfriend out to dinner tonight since he’s being pouty from being sick. Unfortunately, there aren’t fantastic sushi places nearby anymore.
Really hoping I’ll be able to resist the MAC Me Over collection!!
Tabs… like Tab soda? I woulda totally been confused n uneasy with that rice fiasco, lol.. just give me some dang white rice.
Hmm…I can’t really think of one favorite restaurant.

I love sushi! And I prefer sushi rice to regular, so I’d have been happy with that!
I love sushi, but am very picky about where I’ll eat it.
Sushi is my favorite food of all time!!! π
I think i like mostaly all restaurants so i dont have a favorite >.<
I love sushi! It’s one of my favorite types of food. They add something special to sushi rice to make it slightly sweeter. Mmm I’ve never had a bowl of plain sushi rice, but I would love to try it.
short grain rice is more glutinous (and stickier), good for sushi rolls. long grain rice isn’t as glutinous, separates more readily.. the “normal” rice we’re used to eating. happy dining! π
I have a craving for sushi right now~
I haven’t had sushi in ages, but I do like it a lot.
I love working out and running because it keeps me in a great shape and thin π and I love Harajuku Lovers stuffs althought it’s’hard to get them in France …
Sushi……………sounds like a great lunch idea….
Good morning!
I looooove sushi!
blue skiess
I like fried sushi !
I don’t particularly care for sushi. It’s the texture. I like rice though. That sounds like a great idea for lunch!
I don’t eat raw fish but I adore Japanese food….esp shrimp tempura roll and sweet potato tempura roll….
Today’s my anniversary and after six years a trip to Sephora to indulge in some new date night makeup might be nice!
Hey T-Money and K-Dawg! I just had sushi at an all-you-can-eat place on thurs and it was AMAZING. One kind of roll we ordered was a dragon roll, that had shrimp tempura, crab stick, and rice on the outside wrapped with eel and avocado… Excuse me while I go wipe off the drool.
I totally love sushi. . . Especially spicy tuna.
I’m in Palm Springs for the weekend π
Now I want some white rice!
i LOVE sushi! mmm especially with eel sauce. ^_^
I like some sushi, but not all! It’s an acquired taste for me.
I heart sushi! I want some now!
My cat has new hours too. She likes to wake up at 5am for a snuggle.
I hate eating soy sauce with sushi! Other than that, it’s all goood! π
Had a HUGE thunderstorm here last night. On my way home from the mall a telephone pole got hit by lightning (or a tree did and fell on the pole) and exploded right after I drove by it! Thank goodness for my timing, we did lose power for 6 hours though. But I love thunderstorms so I didn’t mind : )
I’m wearing NYX Milan Round lipstick topped with MegaShine in Plum.
The harvest year of sushi rice and normal rice may be different, as older rice is supposed to be better for sushi. If eaten alone, new rice tastes much better
Ahhhh this made me want a japanese pickle roll SO badly!
my favorite restaurant is olive garden. i loove their breadsticks!!
I’m looking forward to the new school year!:)
Just had sushi last night with my hubby!
Running out of rice definitely seems weird. The last time I went for Japanese food, I tried to order their mackerel bento (I loooooove mackerel), but they were out. That makes a lot more sense than the rice, though!
I LOVE SUSHI! My current favourite is called the SAC Roll (Salmon, Avocado, and Cream Cheese) and then I get it deep fried! It’s so addicting and amazing!
Best dinner date makeup tip — go easy on the lips! You’re going to eat off all your lipstick anyway, and you don’t want to be left with a weird bright outline or colored teeth.
Man alive I love sushi! I just had delicious all you can eat sushi a couple of days ago.

LOL whaaaaat? That’s so weird! I can’t imagine a japanese restaurant running out of rice =O

I celebrated my birthday early yesterday since my birthday is on the 23 (weekday -__-)! We went bowling and it was so much fun! :))
Really hoping for a rainy, stormy, relaxing Saturday.
Lol. Great story! Glad to hear it had a happy ending π

happy saturday!
My latest obsession is Pho. I’ve had Pho before but it wasn’t great, I’ve finally found a place that I love! I’ve eaten it every day for lunch for the past week.
reading “A Dance With Dragons” this weekend!
I might take it as a good sign, running out of rice = lots of diners = good food! Optimism in action! π
Mmmmmmm, sushi!
I really only like the little fried tofu things that are stuffed with rice, I’m a cooked fish fan.

Although i haven’t had it in forever i love sushi, and cats.<3
To be honest i don't think Toopie and Tabs would get along well if they had the chance to meet,
they are much too diva and much too in control of their human pets to mesh well. hehe
I am a Sephora virgin. Would absolutely looove to win π
picked some corn today. yum yum.
So funny I had sushi last night!
Morning walk with my coton de tulear #puppylove
Had some wonderful sushi last night with some friends. π Also got them to try plum wine, which is amazing~~
LOVE SUSHI
I am so lusting after the blue nail polishes Chanel will release in the FNO!
I don’t eat sushi, I just don’t like seafood.
Haaaaa, that rice story is hilarious. i have only tried sushi once sadly! but yes i have about 3 cute little black dresses. very sexxay i love them, i think for a dinner date my fave makeup would be the simple cat eye look and a pink blush! with a subtle shimmer lip glass! π
Sushi is good with me.
Dragged the bf to go watch final destination 5…death in 3D is a whole other ball game…hahaha
ahh i am wanting to see that!! ive seen all of them! was it any good??
Oh my, I don’t see how you could NOT have a little black cocktail dress.
Sushi sounds good! I might have to grab some for dinner tonight!
I do not like sushi but I did see some cute Hello Kitty sushi online somewhere. I do, however, really enjoy steamed white rice with lotso butter, salt and pepa. Hmmm.
That waiter sounds like a genius.
i love sushi soooo much
Sushi is my number one favorite food. My daughter, who is 10 and a very picky eater, also loves sushi, so when we go out, that is what we have! π
How did the hamburger introduce his wife? “Meat” Patty!!
I love the smell of white rice
I love sushi. I used to buy it when I got bummed out in college because it’s such a cute food and it reminds me of my family.
I never had sticky rice, but I like eating different white rice, wild and brown rice. Dry seeweed chips yum.
I’ve never had sushi but I’ve always wanted to try it!
its amost football season
How did the sushi rice taste? I like it with sushi, but I wonder if eating it by itself would taste weird.
Mmmmmm!!! I love sushi!
Getting ready to go look at some apartments.. Hopefully, this is the one!
I love sushi!
I like sushi alright, but not nearly as much as the BF. My favorite has to be a salmon and pineapple roll. I am all about the pineapple. Eel is good, too. I like the sauce they put on it!
I’ve tried to like sushi, but fish, in any shape or form, is just not my thing!
I’ve never tried sushi :/
I loved sushi π but as a vegetarian it is no longer on the menu for me. Luckily enough I also love, love, love Thai cooking and there are plenty vegetarian options in there! Like Lily I love the smell of rice π sometimes I enjoy eating just plain, freshly steamed rice, nothing added.
I have never tried sushi, but I would like to try this one!!

Ugh, I’ve had the biggest craving for sushi for the longest time. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive!

Sushi reminds me of salmon colored blushes!! So why not a Sephora inspired roll? Hmm Lol
I would have asked for brown rice, but that’s so funny!
i lurve sushii badly!!! something with salmon, avocado and crab! yummy!!
Sushi rice is pretty different, but quite delicious!
I do have a black cocktail dress, but sadly, it seems like it never gets worn anywhere these days – life just isn’t that exciting, haha. I love sushi, having previously lived in Japan for a while. For dates, I like to keep makeup simpler and less obvious – so I guess basic neutral eye looks with a peachy blush.
I know an immensely fat black kitteh named “Sushi”…don’t know how he got the name, but I like it!
I do have a black cocktail dress and as it is, well, black, I like to rock red lips and red pumps and a red bag with it π No originality I know, heehee…
Going to CA tomorrow for a week. Will have to find a sushi place to try!
I love sushi, especially Raw sushi, spicy tuna rolls, nigiri, etc… My favorite restaurant Kagaya.
Mmmm, sushi. Now I’ve got a craving for it!
Never tried sushi, always thought it was risky to eat?? But all these positive comments are making me curious to try it.
LOL, how does a sushi restaurant run out of rice – either kind?! π

I love sushi too but I really love Outback Steakhouse. Since moving to Germany I have yet to find a good steak so I am anxiously anticipating our trip to Miami in a few weeks where I will have steak galore!
My going out/date makeup is always the classic Marilyn Monroe look. Red lipstick, a flash of kohl eyeliner winged out a bit, and a flushed cheek. Airspun powder is the best thing ever for this look. Plus it smells wonderful.
I love sushi! I always ask for extra spicy mayo and eel sauce..Yummmmm!! That being said, I was gobsmacked (my word of the day) that a sushi place would run out of rice…that’s just bizarre.
ps. Gift card funds will be going towards the purchase of BOS IV….which is looking really really good!
fantastic giveaway. hysterical story– I hope that you enjoyed your sushi rice!!! have a great weekend!
Its my birthday on Friday so I really hope I win. I could use some new makeup.
Hope you are having a good weekend.
Thank you
I think it’s funny how often the media refers to 3 and 4″ heels as “sky high” when shoes I wore as a teen were always at least 5″.
I really wish I liked sushi. It meets the definitions of my favorite kind of food: pretty, portable and healthy. Alas, I don’t eat any fish.
Will be going to Boston and making sure sushi is a part of my trip along with a nice shopping trip to Sephora!
i wish there was more time for the beach. the weather is getting cold too fast!
I love sushi! We’ve got a fabulous place right around the corner called Toyo’s that I go to all the time!
I was laughing as I was sipping on my coffee and almost choked right now. That conversation was too funny. Let’s see. I can’t really choose my number one, but my top favorites are Fogo De Chao, Texas De Brazil (yes, they are similar but completely different in my opinion – both excellent) Stir Crazy, PF Changs (despite I gain 3 pounds and am dying of thirst for 2 days later bc of the sodium) and Morton’s Steakhouse. I really like Wildfire too.

I’ve never tried sushi before, but I don’t think I’d like it. I don’t like seafood very much. The only seafood I eat is Fried Boneless Bangus(Milkfish). NOMZ. π
Good Morning Sunshine! Thanks for all these great contests and the blog. I’m a sushi wuss – I like California rolls and crunchy crab rolls:-)
it’s a lazy saturday….
I’ve never had true sushi. I think I had something like sushi with a vegetable inside it. I don’t know the name of it since I’m not familiar with sushi. What I had I did like. I’m sure I would like sushi. I do like fish! Thanks.

Portland is such a foodie town that it’s downright impossible for me to pick just 1 favorite restaurant. It’s much more like a top 10 situation π However I do LOVE sushi, my favorite is from Saburo here in town – if you’re ever in the Pacific Northwest {specifically Portland} I highly recommend! I totally have a go-to LBD, my mom raised me to always make sure to have one. My favorite go-to one as of late has been the Blakely from J. Crew!
I love sushi whether it’s raw or cooked. =) But right now, I’m eating oatmeal with ground turkey. Yum…

Thanks for another giveaway opportunity, Karen, and hope everyone has a great weekend!
My favorite restaurant is La Fiesta. It’s a locally owned Mexican restaurant. Everyone who works there is extremely nice and the food is always awesome; and they have queso dip (my favorite food in the world).

My favorite restaurant would have to be Lasagna Restaurant in NYC. The best Italian food and wine you will ever have.
I love sushi! and date nights! and lbds! My hubby and I just had a date lunch because my mother in law is in town to visit and watched our son for a bit. It is so nice to get out of the house for once! We stopped at sephora and the mac counter on the way home so I could stock up on some back to school basics.
Ha! The do not disturb tail sounds like one of my cats, Gizmo! She has this little tunnel thing she’ll sleep under with only her tail sticking out. The other cats like this nightstand with a little tablecloth I have in one of the guest bedrooms and normally they either have a paw sticking out or their tail. If you lift up the tablecloth they’ll just look at you with this innocent look like “Why are you waking me up, Mama?”
I own way too many black dresses to even count!
love sushi
I just discovered this amazing hibachi restaurant near where I live, and it is just sinfully delicious.
I LOVE Sushi! And being in Ann Arbor gives me so many options to choose from.
My new favorite fragrance I stumbled upon is Burberry’s Summer for Women!
I enjoy the California roll but I’m scared to try other kinds. Sushi is one of those things that you just have to try it, because it is sorta weird haha.

This is great! Thanks for offering up the giveaway! I’ve been trying to but the Laura Mercier Eye basics primer in buff for a while now, but it was too pricey and i opted to get my much needed brush cleanser instead. I’m sure whoever wins will be thanking you to the ends of the earth!
P.S. Sushi. I ADORE SUSHI. I’m Japanese-American and I remember the same confusion when I was little and my grandma told me we had to prepare the rice differently to make sushi. It still tastes good though, so I’m glad you got your rice eventually!
I like sushi as long as it is made with cooked fish. And lots of avocado and cucumber. π
I’m a cop out. I’ve been to a few Japanese restaurants telling myself I’m going to try sushi and every time I get there I order something else. Lame I know, but there’s just so many options and people have give stories about their different experiences, liking or hating it, that I don’t know which to try.
Need to try again with someone who’s a sushi expert and maybe I’ll brave it up. Indian food however, that I’ll try. Love me some curry spices π
Thanks for this giveaway, Karen!
I have never eaten sushi before.
I loooove sushi! I hadn’t tried it until I met my boyfriend, but even though I was scared he made me try it and I love it now~! We just had some last week.. I have been craving a lot of the really plain rolls lately though, what can I say, I like plain food sometimes. π
Tuna rolls, California rolls, Dynamite Rolls, and Tempura rolls are my favourites right now. =9
I love sashimi!
I love Lancome’s bo-facial makeup removed!
My husband once went to Taco Bell and they were out of beef.
How DOES a Japanese restaurant run out of rice??
I went to the grand opening of a new sushi restaurant yesterday and the food was amazing!
I love sushi and especially tempura π
I love sushi! The hands down best meal I ever had (and the funnest) was an ahi tuna dish with poprocks. I kid you not, red poprocks. We had them bring us another round of them. I’m trying to remember the restaurant, it was at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, Fishbone? maybe? we had a bottle of saki too, then after dinner, plum wine at the bar. Delish!
So I’ve been on a low-carb-low-sodium-high-protein-high-fiber diet with no weight loss (but more energy and some stomach shrinkage.) The past week I paused the restrictions to vacation in Ocean City and lost 5lbs!! Explain that. Lol
Mmm, sushi is one of my favorite dinner dates because it’s adventurous and you can look dainty eating it!
I love sushi! I had some really good sushi in Hawaii!
i sprained my ankle π
I love sushi rice even more than normal white rice! It’s usually what I make when I use rice as an accompaniment for dinners.
I hate, hate, hate today and it’s only !:30.
Loooooooooooooove sushi! I am super excited that we just booked a january vacation to Disney World…and one of the dinner reservations I’ve already made is at the sushi house in Epcot. Can’t wait!!!! π
I looooove sushi. My fave places are Geisha in Denham Sptings, LA and Tennou in Harvey, LA!
I live for sushi – at home I make sushi bowls with just sushi rice (ha!) and furikake and cucumber and crab sticks
Happy Saturday! Sushi is good! π
I like sushi… but hate fish. Hee hee I usually get avocado or sweet potato rolls! π
Hi Karen I have been following your blog for about six months or so I absolutely love it. It does encourage me to try new things with my makeup which I love. Also it’s made me want to buy everything lol, but it definitely helps with your wonderful reviews on products which would work for me. Thanks so much. Anyway enough blabbing I have a few favorite restaurants. My husband and I used to go out every weekend before we had children. We love a place called the red violin here in Canada. It’s a Brazilian restaurant. It’s a dinner and dance place which is so much fun. We also like a place called josos it’s a Mediterranean seafood place in Toronto. One of our very favorites is terrace on the green it’s amazing. They have the best lamb. Anyway thanks again hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

Tonight I am going to a fun conveyor-belt sushi place. I know it’s not the best quality sushi in LA yet I love it just the same. YUM!!
My guy and I don’t go out to eat often, but when we do I love dressing up! It makes everything feel more special.
I must admit I have never tried sushi and never will because I have a fear of raw fish. I have had one with imitation crabmeat in it, that was good. I have a LBD, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a cocktail dress.
i just got a pretty palette from wet’n’wild π
There is a local sandwich shop that I love… I was able to write about it back in 2001 in Teen People magazine back in the day!
I have never tasted sushi. Everytime I see it, I gag. I haven’t worn a dress in over 6 years. I gained so much after having kids I don’t like the way I look!!!:(
Mmm… sushi… now I know what I want for dinner!
Oh my, i loooove sushi. I was born and raised in Hawaii, so i started eating sushi at a very young age. Haha i remember when i was in the 4th grade, my dad would bring me a Mcdonalds happy meal and 3 pieces of Tobiko sushi for my school lunch. Yum. Have you ever tried tobiko sushi ? π
I love your stories – especially about Tabs. Thanks for a chance at a giveaway!
I LOVE SUSHI. Haven’t had some really good sushi in a long time = sadness. Hopefully I will be able to indulge again soon.
I used to hate sushi, actually! But my then boyfriend got me into it. I don’t get too crazy with it, still haven’t tried eel or squid and don’t plan on it, but I do like it!
I love sushi! Very funny story. I just stumbled on your blog last month, I love it.
got Aidan Mattox little black dress, but don’t fit in it right now (30 weeks pregnant ) =))
I love sushi! Now that I’m back in my dorm, I’m close to a nice place where you can get fresh, handmade sushi. I’m pretty excited for that π
Houston has some great sushi! I love it. I also love Too Faced…I am waiting on a shipment of makeup that I bought! Woo hoo!
I absolutely love sushi ! π
Yargh! I’ve got a tummy ache and I’m stuck at work!
I can not handle the taste of soy sauce so Sushi is totally out of the window for me. My husband is allergic to shellfish, but loves eating Sushi. (We get him the imitation crab or vegetarian kind to play it safe…)
my friend’s bf buys her makeup. i want a makeup-buying bf!
My fave dinner date look is a smoky lid that makes my eye color stand out!
Thanks for the giveaway, I’d really love to win this gift card, I’d get a mascara for my mother in law : she wants one but she’s scared by all the different kinds you can find….
not a sushi eater but i am a fan of sephora!!
SOOO in love with Sephora’s OPI nail line. OBSESSED!!!!!!!!!
I love sushi!
Rainbow Roll is my favorite! My date night look is something semi-sexy that doesn’t say either Mom or Professor C. But my better half has a thing for walking around downtown at night after dinner, so the hot-but-don’t-try-to-move-more-than-30-yards-in-them kind of shoes are OUT. Alas.
mmm sushi! i tried eel sushi a few weeks ago and it was delish!
I’m watching Family Guy.
My fav cuisine is Thai and I love Shrimps.
I love sushi but none of the raw stuff, please. π

I started season 4 of True Blood, you see in Greece we were still in season 3. But I kinda ruined it for myself because I completely ignored your spoiler alerts,and yeah I know about the hottest thing on earth and Sookie. Oh my. I seriously hope thought that this season is better than the previous, cause dude did the last one kinda blow or what!
My favorite restaurant is PF Changs – I love their Almond Cashew Chicken!!!!!!
Your story reminded me of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner… water water every where nor any drop to drink…

I love fried sushi rolls! And I love the type of restaurants with sushi trains and sushi boats. You have to be impulsive!

I love sushi. I was a bit late to the party when trying. But I enjoy it very much now.
π Jessica
When I was in high school we got to assist teaching ESL at a Japanese girl’s school in Boston. The first time I ever had Sushi was one day when they made it for us. At the time, places to get sushi weren’t common. It was a fun (and yummy!) experience!
My kitty gets a very disturbing, stressed-out urgency face with serial killer eyes when ever I bring home sushi. No carry out for me anymore, I can’t take the bad face!!!!!
love italian and mexican food
I LOVE SUSHI!!! But unforutanetly raw fish makes me sick:(

Just got done with the yard-work. Phew, it’s hot outside today!
I’ve been to an Arby’s that ran out of roast beef. And a salad bar that had run out of lettuce.
well…i ned to get beach proof! It’s foggy and depressing today, even though it was 70+ until about noon. SIgh. SF in the summer!
Have a good weekend!
I miss my favorite eggplant parmesan pizza in Chicago. Craving it today.
I’m painting my room this weekend!
WhatΓ’β¬β’s your favorite restaurant?
Buca di Beppo’s! I love Italian food!
Do you have a little black cocktail dress?
Yes, it’s a black velvet with a plunging neckline, makes me feel sexy whenever I wear it!
Do you like sushi?
Ugh, no. I hate most seafood.
WhatΓ’β¬β’s your favorite dinner date makeup look?
Taupe eyeshadow and a glossy red lip gloss.
I like nachos.
If you’re ever in the San Diego area, you MUST go to sushi deli…its amazing!
My favorite restaurant in the universe is Biaggi’s. The food and the atmosphere is refined and beautiful, but the prices are very reasonable. The lobster and crab pasta is to die for!
I love sushi! Thinking about it is making me hungry…
The Japanese restaurant we go to makes the best fried tofu!! I have tried to recreate it at home, but I can’t get it quite right.
if i won this week, it would totally go towards buying the MUFE Smokey eyes palette. π

I wish i loved sushi, but i can’t stand it
I thought about sushi for dinner tonight, but we ended up at a little diner that had pretty much everything but sushi.. My hubby had a stir fry, and I had a hot chicken sandwich.
Hope everyone’s having a good weekend.
My favorite restaurant would any Jamaican food restaurant, I love patties, steam fish with veggies and jerk lobster.
I never knew there was a difference between sushi rice and regular rice either. Learn something new everyday.
super tired today. time to relax
Today me and my beautiful children had lunch at the elephant Bar in Daly City. I am wearing the urban decay natural palette with my unsung hero lip glass Ohh Baby by MAC oldie but goodie.
Love your blog thanks for the give away π
heyheyhey! π <3
Revlon wasn’t kidding when they wrote “PARFUM’ on the scented nail polish bottles. Phew.
any pasta is ok by me!
Weird about the rice thing. Hmm, I’m a picky eater. I like the hot bar and salad bar at Whole Foods because they list all the ingredients and it is healthy and fresh. I have a few casual black or black-with-pattern dresses, but I’d love to have a smokin’ one some day, more like cocktail dress quality than the ones I own.
I’m bored!
My favorite restaurants are Lebanese and Ethiopian.
I love Sephora!
Mmm…sushi. Best is raku in Bethesda, MD!
I get to go for a boat ride tomorrow!
Love, love, love sushi!
Now I want sushi and am land locked!
I dont think I’d like sushi very much but I want to try some oneday!!!
I love sushi, too! LMAO at a Japanese restaurant running out of RICE!
Sushi, yes please!! The other day I bought a coupon from for 51 pieces of sushi, for the equivalent of 10 bucks, abundant YUM!
No thank you on the sushi!
For first dates I like to go with a neutral eye using shadows in the brown/bronze category, with LOTS of mascara, and a pop of color on the lips. MAC’s lickable lipstick is my favorite.
I am excited to move back to college and terrified at the same time as I will be starting my last year.
Never tried sushi but not too sure I ever will, doesn’t seem like my thing lol. My favorite restaurant is Red Lobster since they have some awesome dishes and drinks! And don’t feel bad, I would have never guessed there was a difference between white rice and sushi rice! I would have been so lost…lol.
I didn’t have a little black cocktail dress for years… and then on a shopping trip with my sister I decided to finally find one. I came home with 3!
If you ever visit Salt Lake City, Utah you should make sure to visit the following restaurants:
1. Mazza – Amazing middle eastern food and a sexy atmosphere.
2. Cafe Trio – Yummy Italian. My favorite item on the menu is the cheese ravioli with butternut squash sauce.
3. Pago – Locally grown food that changes with the seasons. Everything is delicious.
4. The Atlantic Grill – Mediterranean food that is authentic and delicious.
5. Shogun – My favorite sushi restaurant. I’ve been going there since I was 3! Make sure to get a booth for an authentic experience.
the best sushi i ever had was at the geisha house in la, the hollywood rolls π

My favorite restaurant is a little taqueria named Lalo’s. It has the best, simplest asada tacos I’ve ever eaten.
ONe of my favorite dishes is Kare Kare.
I’d love to win π
I am a sushi FIEND, it might be my favorite food of all time! Salmon or albacore nigiri and sashimi, especially π
I like morphsuits and BIG pink wigs.
After 20 years of raising a family, my husband and I have just begun exploring restaurants in our area once again. We rarely dine out and these past years have been spent at kid friendly places so I don’t really have a favorite at this time. I’m working on it .
Sushi is one of my favorite dinner dates! Sushi and plum wine, you can’t go wrong!!!
my favorite restaurant is a syracuse native franchise called Tully’s its a sports bar restaurant and whenever theres a good game on we always head down there to cheer on our sports teams!!
I’m in the mood for some Chinese food^_^.
My favorite restaurant is called the Vegetarian Palette in Brooklyn, NY. The food and atmosphere are great. I go with my best friends all the time.
Just ate some awesome Chilean Sea Bass for dinner! About to sit down for family movie night and popcorn! Life is good π

Never had sushi, but would love some urban decay liquid eyeliner in Perversion….^_^
I could eat sushi everyday!!
I’ve been interested in trying sushi for a while now. My favorite restaurant is Papadeaux Seafood Kitchen, and I’ve only seen them in my home state of Texas and Louisiana.
I love your blog!
Mmmmmm I love sushi!
I more week until I take my GMAt exam…… UGH!!!
I begin student teaching Tuesday and I’m nervous/excited! Organizing my life so I can run at full steam!
So I’ve become totally obsessed with UD’s eyeshadows…… they’re so buttery!!!!
Sushi is not my thing lol but i am signing up for the gym next week! Its never to late to get my “summer” bod π
MY favorite sushi is called a mango roll. It’s a california roll but it has thinly sliced pieces of mango on top, YUM!
I have a few “little black dresses”. They’re great staples for a night out and they’re all different enough that I can justify having them.
I think I like Sushi. I mean, I’ve had it and it was ok, but it wasn’t a great place for Sushi to begin with. I really liked seafood though, so I think I just need to find a good restaurant.
LBDs are a must! I have a criss-cross back A line LBD!
Also, sushis are great.
Avocado rolls are the bee’s knees!
I did not ready through all 300 of the replies, but sushi rice is actually quite difference from normal white rice that you get a sushi place. It has rice wine vinegar in it and is mixed in a special way. Did it taste like normal rice to you?
I love sushi, especially sweet potato tempura rolls!
I don’t have a favorite restaurant, but I’m always open to trying something new! Not sushi though haha.
I love sushi a lot. And you are lucky to eat a bowl of sushi rice! It’s so delicious!!
I like Sushi but I can’t have it everyday XD

I love sushi! And I love your blog!
I’m looking forward to my next Shellac mani in a few days!
I like veggie sushi!
my favorite restaurant was a burger join close to my house but they close recently π
kREN… DID U KNOW that our skin tones are almost the same? i love when you do swatches because i know how it would look on my skin tone
I still refuse to eat sushi. Its the seaweed that grosses me out! My boyfriend who is very picky actually enjoys sushi and made me try a piece of raw snapper or something. It was so awful!! But i always order some terryaki or something deep fried (mmmmhhmm yams) instead!
My fave food is Italian but why goout when we cook it better at home! :p
I need me some Sephora before heading to college!!!
I love sushi, it’s one of my favorite foods. Unfortunately, I only eat it a couple times a year because my hubby doesn’t like it. π
sushi? yay!
I think a lovely shade of soft pink blush and some sheer pink gloss is a great natural date look!
I love, love, love sushi!
I’m not sure if I like sushi or not. I live in the midwest and don’t have a sushi place anywhere near. =( Dying to try it though!
I don’t like true sushi…like the raw stuff. I’m all about maki rolls though! And I’m surprised I don’t have a go to little black dress…maybe after I lose the weight I’m wanting to, I’ll treat myself to a new dress.
Going to the beach tmrw! Keeping fingers crossed it won’t rain!
I love sushi! I’m a sucker for a good spicy tuna roll.
I loooove sushi! Salmon is my favorite π
i love sepohra!
So hard to pick a fave restaurant! It depends on the mood, but for Italian at least I’ve always loved Buca di Beppo, and I pretty much love a lot of Asian restaurants I go to, whether it’s Korean or Chinese or Japanese
It all depends, what I’m craving, how far it is and do I really want it. Hmm, as of right now its chocolate, red velvet cupcakes from Cako Bakery please:)
Sushiii, yum ! Haha.
Sushiii, yum ! Haha π
Would love to even get OUT to a nice restaurant!! Love Italian or good Chicago Deep Dish.
Years ago a coworker took everyone’s order and went through the drive through of a fast food place called Rally’s. He placed about 9 people’s orders at the first window. When he got to the second window they told him they were out of buns!! They closed ( I wonder why!!} and I never did try a burger from there!!
I never thought I’d join the ranks of sushi snobs, but I’ve been enlightened — the sushi stateside is nothing compared to the real deal.
I love sushi and this is an awsome giveaway! !
My favorite restaurant is Cheeseburger in Paradise!!
sushi is the bomb!
i’m on the phone with my suite mate
Happy Saturday! π
Whole Foods makes some yummy sushi. I like the salmon and avocado roll as well as the spicy tuna roll.
Analyzing poetry isn’t super fun..
I like sushi, but vegetarian-style (there’s a few places in SF that have tempura vegetable sushi, avocado sushi, spinach sushi with a peanut sauce, etc.) – but my *favorite* restaurant is Greens Restaurant in San Francisco. Reliably delicious food, gorgeous views of the Golden Gate Bridge, nice ambiance … what more could a girl ask for?
Not even embarrassed to say that I spent two hours at sephora today, trying on my date night look. Dont judge me….
in high school, we had to dissect squid in biology & my teacher fried some up for us to try. it was actually not bad! but now i really want some white rice.
Have a great week!
My favorite restraunt has to be Olive Garden! I LOOOOOVE Italian food π
Thanks for sharing this weird experience. A little chuckle to end my day. ;o) It is odd that a Japanese restaurant would run out of regular white rice. ;o)
going to finally cut and dye my hair on Monday!! so excited!!!
lool have you tried the sticky rice with some salt? its sooo good<3
Family Saturday block partty is the best!
I like TGI Friendy’s. It’s my favorite place to eat Their frozen food to cook at home is really good.
melodyj(at)gmail(dot)com
I love sushi!!!!
I really like Gyu Kaku, can’t get it in MD. my boyfriend has gone twice since I’ve been gone (he lives in Chicago) and rubbed it in my face each time π
Tried sushi when I visited NYC, not quite a fan yet. Will try again though!:)
I need more than 24 hours in a day with so much frequency.
I don’t like the real sushi selections, but I do love tempura fried California rolls! On first dates, I like to try (or used to like trying) to always incorporate pink into my makeup look. Pink cheeks, or pink lips always seem so cute and innocent and perfect for first dates! Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!
But running out of white rice really IS like a burger joint running out of buns or Italian restaurant sans pasta, as you said.
Sushi rice is white sticky rice + dashi and vinegar, maybe some salt. It’s strange to be offered sushi rice as a replacement, though I understand. But being from Japan, I would see it as the equivalent of the said burger buns being replaced with hot dog buns!
I love Tabs π
Love sushi, love the blog, love tabs!
i tried sushi once but i developed a taste aversion after my mother made so much sea food as a young child
I could give this gift card such good use =). I tested some Illamasqua powder products like blushes and eyeshadows at Sephora last weekend and fell in love…
I love sushi, and now I want some right now. Hmmm…
Well since you were talking about sushi I thought I’d mention my favorite place. It’s Edo Sushi in Baltimore and its awesome. I went there the other day with my friends and my friend Victoria had no idea what to do with the hot towel. It was hilarious to watch lol.
I passed my boards, I am officially a registered nurse π would love to celebrate with some sephora goodies!
I love sashimi more than sushi. π
I love sushi! Especially salmon with spicy mayo.
Think I’m gonna have to give Oh Baby lipglass a try!!!
I met Steve Madden today, the shoe designer! π
Sashimi is what I live for! I can devour an entire plate in no time, but only once a month I’d say. π
I used to avoid raw fish like the plague (first I didn’t like the idea of it, then I didn’t like the texture), but a meal I had at a Japanese place during Restaurant Week came with a few pieces of sashimi, so I ate them, seeing as how I was going to pay for them anyway, and decided that I liked it after all! I just like the mild-tasting fish like tuna and salmon, though.
I love sushi! Especially nigiri π
I should go to the library and borrow a few books. I haven’t read a new story in too long. Durn video games!

Just assembled a bunch of IKEA stuff and currently doing loads and loads of laundry… MY PARENTS ARE COMING TO VISIT NORWAY. I’m so excited!!
I had a wonderful weekend!
Chinese food & Netflix Friday night, then Italian food & saw Crazy Stupid Love on Saturday.
Today will most likely include a nap after laundry is done π
Love sushi! My favorite is still salmon nigiri. If the salmon is fresh, it melts in your mouth!
funny story!
I love Vietnamese Cuisine!
I love sushi!
I love sushi! I just moved to a new area and there is a great restaurant just around the corner, I have to be really good and not go there every week!
My favorite go-to restaurants would have to be Qdoba, Applebee’s, and Buca di Beppo’s. I absolutely looove the tiramisu they have at Buca’s, but I went yesterday and apparently they changed the recipe and lowered the rum content due to legal limitations. Such a shame, because now the tiramsu is dry instead of nice and spongy. π Looks like I’ll have to start learning how to make it myself!
Omg I am so jealous! After I had my son, I COULDN’T eat sushi anymore, I tried and I tried, but I kept blowing up and blowing up! Maybe one day down the road :/
I’m from Arkansas so I have to share how excited I am that the West Memphis Three were freed on Friday. These men spent 18 years behind bars, one of them on death row, for a crime they didn’t commit. Their only “crime” was being weird, listening to Metallica and wearing black in a small town, closed minded community. Though the state of Arkansas states they will not look for the real killers, the West Memphis Three will continue their work to find out who committed this heinous crime against those 3 precious little boys who deserve justice.
there was a pita place by our campus in grad school that was out of pitas when we went to eat there….more than once. Huh??!
I love sushi! I’m a vegetarian so I obviously eat mine without any fish. There is no direct word for vegetarian in Japanese, so when I went to Japan I had to carry around a card that said in Japanese, “I hate fish and meat. Vegetables are best!”
I live on sushi. PICK ME! =)
Mmmm sushi!! I may have to go out and get some when I go pick up a new tube of Chanel Inimitable Intense
I loooove your site! Oh the things I would buy if I won this giveaway! π
mmm raw fish
I plan to spend Sunday afternoon playing Angry Birds Rio. Yeah, so productive π
I LOVE sushi! However, I tend to stick with the “safe” picks, like the dynamite rolls or spicy tuna rolls. I went to dinner with a girlfriend of mine the other week, though, and she got me to tr y the unagi roll. I never thought I would try eel (and like it!) in my life, but I’m definitely a convert now!
Thank you for having a blog I ACTUALLY like to read- I mean, thoroughly READ!! Don’t tell, but I’m sure my classmates will see me scouring it from time to time during class π
Haven’t had sushi in ages…I luv my California rolls:)
i love sushi!
funny story… i wouldn’t have known what the waiter was talking about either….
i love love sushi!
So glad I found this blog!
you know, it’s always strange when restaurants run out of their special…
My lil monstah kitty milo is passed out on me right now :). Crazy about the rice- i just went to dunkin donuts and they were out of croissants! Wtf is going on?! Lol
I LOVE Sushi! I also love to convert I-only-eat-California-rolls sushi eaters into real-deal-raw-fish sushi eaters.
Sushi is my favorite food!

fav sushi is spicy salmon rolls! anything spicy is great
Mmm i love sushi! But only the vegetable kind!! I lovee your blog also:D and im super duper excited to get your lipglass from mac its such a gourgeous color!!(:
i just had my first girl’s weekend away since having two kids!
and now all I can think about it sushi. I gotta get some, stat!
I love eel sushi – both the handroll and the regular cut roll! That is strange that the restaurant ran out of regular rice. As for a date night look – a soft, glittery eye with dark winged liner, bold lashes and soft pink lips. =)
Ok….all this sushi talk is making me hungry! Time to convince my hubs to take me on a sushi date tonight! π Yum!
I love eel sushi. It’s my addiction!!
I can’t eat sushi…i’m pregnant. But i love it!! I can’t wait until I give birth and then I can go back to eating sushi!
It’s been too long since I’ve had sushi! Maybe this week…
I looooove sushi
My comment will have to be about my new favorite lipstick brand- Makeup Forever! I only have two so far, compared to my (at least) 10 MAC lipsticks… but I know I will be getting more π
I do have a LBD. It’s just a simple strapless one. I also love sushi, especially California and rainbow rolls.
I’ve actually never tried sushi.
I had the BLT pizza from California Pizza Kitchen…yummm
I have a LBD, it’s actually a skirt that is a dress on me, but it looks EXACTLY like a strapless dress except with a un-structured top. It’s just very ruffly until the bottom of the ribcage, then goes down flowyish. So it looks like a dress, no one has ever guessed it isn’t. Normally, the ruffles go to the bottom of your hips, and then it flows out. But I just pulled it up about 3 feet. π
I bought my baby a onesie that says “this is my little black dress” …love it! π
I love sushi! Eat it at least once a week. At the restaurant I go to the whole staff knows my name! I guess there are worse things to be addicted to π
I’ve been moving into our new house all weekend. I’m exhausted and ready to shower,
but I decided to get on the internet instead.
I love California rolls with brown rice!
My birthday is a week from tomorrow. I’m quite excited. It’ll be the first birthday that I get to spend with my family in 5 years. I love my family and I’m so happy to be back home!
I’ve never eaten sushi. Weird, I know. π
I love sushi, especially eel. And if I win I will create a cool “electric eel” look!!!!
I love you blog π
I am very excited! Tonight I visited a gym that I fell completely in love with… omg, steam room, sauna room, AND jacuzzi! Hells yeah… and so Tuesday (yes, weird, I know… but that’s when my check clears and I’ll have monies!) will be the first day of my new healthy life style! I’m so excited about it that I’m celebrating with really unhealthy food… last meal if you will. Plus, tomorrow starts day 1 of the 2nd year of law school. So some serious new beginnings starting this week! I’m excited, nervous, freaked out and happy all at the same time!
I did not know sushi rice and the regular rice had differences.
My boyfriend made me special cookies for our anniversary!
