sushi and cleansing
May 6, 2005
Harper, Becca, Fred, and Jameson came to Sushi Wabi after Cole’s art show and I joined them to eat dinner with them. I love fish. I was vegan for 2 years, but I started eat fish. My diet became more flexible afterwards. Tonight, I had Zuke Sake–marinated salmon and Kampachi–baby yellow tail as Sashimi—no rice but straight up raw fish. They were yummy.
Going out for Sushi is to me something very special like some special occations, but as far as my family goes, we consume a lot of raw fish at home. I crave for fish a lot. No wonder why I work at Sushi restaurant now. I love sesonal specials, especially in Winter, fish is fattier and yummier. There are several fish which get more delicious in Fall or Spring. I know I am obsessed with food, but I can’t help it. I think my family is obsessed with food and drinks so much. They always find a reason to get drunk and eat yummy foods–wedding, funeral, holidays, guests, or whatever.
Speaking of food or obsession, I had a coffee today. It was a real one, I mean, caffeinated. I have been doing so well not to have a coffee, but I couldn’t help it. I did cleansing on my digestive system in the last month, which required me not to have caffeine, wheat products, soy products, and alcohol. I did that for 3 weeks! Marica was on raw food diet for detoxication, and that helped me a lot for my cleansing. She did very strictly and I learned a lot about detoxing. Now Marcia and I eat very healthy and I like that she loves eating too.
For my cleansing process, the hardest part was caffeine. I grew up drinking green tea with my breakfast and dinner, and I have been drinking a black coffee in the morning since I was 12. I am caffeine addict, but I reduced my caffeine intake drastically. I am very proud of myself, but I couldn’t help it today. oh my coffee made me get through my work tonight, so it was worth it. I had a glass of white wine too. I needed it, right?
Anyway, it was very nice to have yummy foods with my friends. I love dinning not only because of food, but also my precious precious friends.
