Liz and Jerome (Rome) picked me up for a dinner at Joe’s Sushi in Lakewood. We met up with Rome’s cousin at the restaurant. Joe’s has an All-You-Can-Eat Sushi Special and we took advantage of it.During the meal, the conversation turned to yoga. One of my therapists talked about taking a Bikram Yoga class with a friend of hers. In the class were two guys, who wore Speedos and always positioned themselves in front of my therapist and her friend. So that’s all they saw.
Rome mentioned that he would never do yoga in a Speedo, but it was enough to give me a mental image and made me temporarily lose my appetite.
Near the end of the meal, I ordered a pair of ikura nigiri, which are salmon eggs on top of a bed of rice. It reminded me of when Travis used to own a sushi bar in Lomita (he’s since sold the place). Each time I went in, I ordered an ikura. And each time Travis would come over to apologize that it was the one thing he was out of. It became a sort of running gag between us.
My ikura came, but as I put one in my mouth, Liz made a comment that Nemo started off as a roe. She was laughing as I was chewing, so I decided then and there to get back at her.
She and Rome are eliminating sweets from their diets, but somehow Mentos are excepted. If you figure that one out, let me know.
We finished off the meal with some miso soup and green tea ice cream. I had a lot of fun.
