Ava & Mommy's 1st Sushi

Tonight Ava and I had our first sushi at our favorite sushi restaurant, Ichi Maki. Usually I go with Rich who gets sushi and I enjoy terryaki and edamame. We were served miso soup which Rich and Ava drank. I waited for the edamame which we all enjoyed. Rich also got a cannon ball appetizer which is a deep fried salmon and crab cake. For dinner Rich got a sushi roll with soft shell crab so he could share it with Ava. We also ordered Ava a cucumber and avocado roll that I could try. I of course order a beef terryaki box with tempera and potstickers.


To our amazement Ava loved almost everything she ate. I on the other hand about throw-up after eating one slice of the cucumber-avocado roll...that darn nori (seaweed). Ava nibbled on her roll and then we broke it apart for her to eat. She also had some crab from Rich's roll and some of my tempura vegetables. She enjoyed both and kept signing more. At the end of dinner Rich gave her some fish eggs and she even ate them. I'm happy that Rich now has a sushi partner in the family.
