It's quite difficult to make sure everything is cut in good little strips and roll it up, but the hardest part is definitely the rice. I'm sure I could do it again, but I'd have to listen to Alton Brown!

I just wouldn't even bother. Part of the reason it's so enjoyable is that the artistry of making it is elusive to me. If I knew how to do it, it would lose the exoticness that I find so enticing.

ceviche...anytime

fuck sushi is good stuff; but i agree w/ jenny it's not really comfort food. comfort food involves me sitting on my couch in front of the TV, vegging out on horrible foods for you healthwise and wanting to feel better about myself lol.

hey, i still can't figure out how to wrap a tortilla into that nice little tucked-in burrito shape, but that don't stop me from having taco night on occasion and eating the shit outta some spic food. those taco bell employees are artists, man. crunchy AND soft shells? together? as one??

yeah, i suppose tacos are another comfort food. qdoba or taco bell. and +1 to ceviche, i love that shit.

We had tacos for dinner on Monday. But I prefer hard shells.

Also, I ate at this AMAZING restaurant a couple weeks ago for dinner:

My friend and I ordered the vuelve a la vida ceviche...OH MY GOD so good.

Making most sushi is not really artistic at all, and it isn't really that hard once you are told how. The Japanese have a tendency to do long apprenticeships in many professions in their culture. There is like this big myth that the sushi you eat was made by this ninja Japanese guy with special skills...when in reality most sushi people consume in north america is made by people with no formal training to this extent.

My point is really that part of the allure is that I can't do it myself, and I don't want to.

ahhh, i get that. Kinda like me with breakfast...i can make awesome breakfasts, but nothing beats going out and being served it.

I knew the Sushi Chef for the Brown Palace here in Denver for some while, almost dated his daughter actually - till she wound up mysteriously pregnant one month (one of many baby bullets I've managed to dodge in my youth). In any case, he showed me how he did most rolls and made it look incredibly easy- he apprenticed this one kid in our hotel's kitchen for just a couple months before he was doing them just as well.

I don't actually have a point to this story other than Mexican goils are whores.

//But since we're talking about tacos now, too, I believe things have come full circle.
