Well, as Tele has previously posted, the other night we went to Kobe. I think its a fine little sushi bar, and I must say that while I was there I fell in love with Red Snapper. That's some awesome fish, I tell you what.

The problem, however, is as much as I love sushi, I can almost never eat enough of it. I can eat .. well.. quite a bit more than I logically should be able to eat, and I fear that it's my voracious appetite that will condemn me to a) not eat enough at a sushi bar, b) eat so much at a sushi bar that the itamae and I have to battle in hand to hand combat because they have nothing left in the restaurant to eat, or c) I've eaten so much sushi that the Pacific ocean is declared devoid of life. A good example, is what I had to eat today. I had the following to eat:

• 4 cups of coffee
• 1 cup of tea
• 5 bottles of water (16 oz)
• 4 sandwiches
• 1 cup cheese popcorn
• 2 truffles
• 1 pear
• 1 stuffed pork chop
• 1 baked potato
• 1 bowl of cinnamon apples
• 1 bowl of coffee icecream

At the sushi place, if I recall correctly, I had:

• 5 pc cucumber roll
• 5 pc philadelphia roll
• 4 hamachi (yellow tail)
• 2 red snapper
• 2 crab roll
• 3 cups green tea
• 1 16oz sake

and we went out for frozen yogurt afterwards, in which I had a 16oz plain with pomegranate seeds.

I think I have a tapeworm. He and I understand each other.

Unfortunately, a temporary setback in paychecks is keeping me from buying the food to write about, so I decided to stave off boredom at Derek's behest by entering a short summary of How I Managed To Live On The Streets Of Las Vegas For A Long Time With No Money Whatsoever.

1. Winchells. They throw out their old donuts in the late hours. This is a good way to get free stale donuts.

2. Starbucks. They throw out their old pastries every night when they close. Since they use better ingredients than Winchells, the food is much better. Also, espresso brownies give you the boost you need to panhandle in front of major grocery stores until late the next morning (hint: look for struggling single women and give them the bus fare schtick. More often than not, this can net you five bucks worth of burritos).

3. Slots-A-Fun. Free popcorn once with each shift change can net you four baggies of intense sodium and some much needed roughage.

With any luck, I'll have money soon and therefore be able to get back to ingredient cookery. Until then, au revoir.
