Jeff, unless your local fancy rich people’s market is Uwajimaya’s, I’m going to guess the answer is “no.”
If you get good fish, the hardest part about making sushi properly is getting the rice right. Making a perfect pot of rice really is an art, and you’ll need the right type of rice to begin with, the exactly proper proportion of water, as well as just the right amount of vinegar and sugar concoction folded into the cooked rice. It’s a time-consuming process to do it right, but well worth it.
People who don’t think the rice matter probably wind up making sushi that tastes like stuff crapped out by the hakujin behind the deli counter at your local discount grocery store.
You know what – we should organize a Seattle area sushi/sake get-together.
Yeah, it’s called a hot dog.

This new time slot sucks, my Tivo is screwed and keeps recording some food network crap. Were the ratings too low?
One of the main actors had an incident to do with alcohol and the suits are rethinking the cast balance.
We had a Hwy 69 roll at Tokyo in Tuscaloosa, AL.
Was it good? Is Tokyo on 69? I might stop by and try one.
I don’t remember if the roll itself was any good. That was my favorite sushi place in Tuscaloosa though! It’s on 69 east about a mile south of 69 & Skyland.
Kill them, explain that was the plan all along, that Rodrig^H^H^H^H^H^H the character was always meant to die, and move on.
I think I see where the end of this thread is going. It’s going to be a bigass extarbags hallucination scene like at the end of Prisoner.
“Where am I?”
“Quartertothree.”
“What do you want?”
“We want information…about your date.”
"Whose side are you on? Are you making fun of me?"
“That would be telling. We want information…links…pics…”
“You won’t get it! Wait…okay.”
“By craigslist or myspace, we will.”
“Who are you?”
“The new page (of this thread).”
“Iwrotepost#1.”
“You…will never have sex.”
"I AM NOT A LOSER, I JUST HAVE A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF TASTE!"
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
I don’t know. I’m hoping he wakes up in bed with Susanne Pleshette.
I think this show needs more plot twists. I hope the next chick 'bags hooks up with is a transexual, and when he finally gets her into bed he discovers “her” dark secret. That would be the ultimate twist.

But he still never kisses “her.”
God. You really don’t watch this show do you?
Putting transexuals aside and getting back on topic (which is now Sushi), I would HIGHLY recommend taking a sushi class for all sushi lovers. They are pricey and take all day but you learn a lot about the different types of fish, recommended eating orders, preparation, presentation, etc.
For example - salmon is new to the sushi family. Without proper treatment (flash freezing I believe) eating raw salmon can get you quite sick. So that’s a tip that I kept in mind while ordering sushi while traveling in Lebanon (hardly a sushi-safety inspiring local) but also while ordering in general. If a place looks like they sell sushi but don’t have sushi chefs, it’s better to pass.
But to bring this completely full circle, a girlfriend once surprised me with a sushi appreciation course and it made for the perfect date. Great food, lots of wine and a short walk to my place.
