Win a $50 Sephora eGift card from Makeup and Beauty Blog
Rise and shine, morning glory. 🙂 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. 🙂

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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. ; )

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 🙁

    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! 🙂

    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 🙂

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.

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?”

    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’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 🙂

    Tuna rolls, California rolls, Dynamite Rolls, and Tempura rolls are my favourites right now. =9

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!

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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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. 🙁 Looks like I’ll have to start learning how to make it myself!

    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.

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!

    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. 🙂

    Did you taste any difference with the sushi rice?
    They normally mix in a little rice vinegar with sushi rice.

    I keep wondering when I’m going to become bored of makeup but it never happens.

    My favourite restaurant is this little pasta place we have. Best garlic bread ever!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
