I learned a week ago that my sister, Teresa, would be traveling to Chicago for work and planned to drive down to visit us! She arrived Saturday afternoon.
The photo taking started almost immediately.
Brian took this picture, using my big camera.
[Hand held at 1/40second exposure time! That's a steady hand!]
I planned to make pasta, but the kids suggested we try out the local sushi/fusion place.
We walked into the restaurant and were transported out of the midwest. We faced an industrial scene with waves of neon and pulsating music. Oh, and the obligatory fish tank in every Asian restaurant, but without the koi:
The wasabi is so pretty, piped into flowers:
We ordered three sushi rolls as an appetizer. I had to fend off the hungry masses for an additional 10 seconds to get this shot. They only gave me one try.
The carnivores also known as my family inhaled the three dishes in less than 2 minutes. Seriously. Poof! All gone.
So we did what any normal sushi loving group does - order more! We ended up consuming 6 sushi rolls between the 5 of us. Again, just as appetizers!
Because after the sushi came the main courses. Since it is a "fusion" type of restaurant, I ordered a very non-Asian duck dish.
Needless to say, we had lots of leftovers to enjoy for Sunday lunch.
