Japanese avocados and fried ice cream

So yesterday Yolie, Teddy, Lupe and myself headed out to Sakura for some sushi. We sit down and start enjoying the atmosphere and dinner. Teddy enjoyed his first taste of sushi and his first taste of wasabi. Teddy asked what the various objects on our plates were, since he had teriaki chicken, and pointed at the wasabi. Yolie, typical Yolie, said that the wasabi was Japanese avocado. Teddy believed it.

Have you ever had wasabi? Its quite a powerful spice. I tried some by itself and literally had my sinuses cleared and drained in less than a second. I saw the same reaction on poor Teddy's face. After that, we ordered the fried ice cream and loved it. Driving home, we all exchanged insults to one another and reveled in the moment.

Who knows what'll happen today.
