I just fell in love with my mini sushi desktop calendar. Here's why.

Entry for today, March 17, 2005:

"Many people cannot resist piling the ginger high on their sushi in a blatant attempt to shortcut the system by cleansing and eating at the same time. This is bad."

How on earth did this make it past the editing process? However it managed, I am grateful for it. (Not the least because it sounds like *I* could have written it.)

Why do people pile on the ginger to cleanse? Why is it bad? WHY?!? I must know!

I am no sushi snob, so I can't say why it is bad, except that it is not proper. Why people do it? First of all, I've met folks who think that *is* the proper way, and second of all, I guess it tastes good :)

Interesting. Sherilyn puts a piece or two of ginger on her sushi and I stay as far away from it as possible because I think it tastes like perfume. :)

Perfume? Interesting.

I love to eat the ginger in between pieces of sushi, but never together. It's supposed to clear the palate, but I just like the taste.

Perfume?

Yeah. But only pickled ginger. Otherwise, I love it.

It's supposed to clear the palate...

Ah-ha! Now I get the "to cleanse" reference. And, in that case, it most definitely makes sense to me to eat it between pieces of sushi instead of with each piece. (If, of course, you're eating the ginger to cleanse and not simply because you like the way it tastes with the sushi.)
