Nov 13 – Day 13
Met a friend for dinner and drinks at Ra last night. Good
conversation, laughter and catching up. I haven’t quite tackled going out to
eat on my own yet and I’ve been craving some good sushi so when she suggested
our meeting location I was pleased.
When I was a kid in the late 60s and early 70s I used to
go to dinner with my parents in Little Tokyo, a Japanese district in Los
Angeles. There was a favorite restaurant we usually went to but on occasion we’d
try something different. My dad (an adventurous soul) ate a variety of sushi and
other “foreign” dishes at those places while my childish taste was geared more towards
the tempura.
Japanese beer, nigiri, rolls, sashimi, tuna tataki with a
healthy dose of wasabi. It’s a simple bit of gratitude today but sushi makes me
happy and actually makes me think of those days in Little Tokyo and I’m thankful for the delicious flavors and
heartwarming memories.
