I HATE ARCHITECTS!! I've always hated architects. The profession's killing me.

So, on a lighter note... I went to this amazing sushi restaurant today in Alameda. I don't want to blog the name of the restaurant, because the chef really wants to limit his clientel. You can always yelp it, or drop me an email.
The restaurant's tiny, and you can only bring maybe one or two other guests. Bar seating is the best so that you can interact with the chef. The place opens at 5.30pm.
This is the best of what we had:
Tuna tataki - lightly seared tuna on a bed of sliced white onion, with slices of garlic and pickled hot stuff. The tuna just didn't taste like fish, it tasted more or less like meat.
white saba nigiri - the fish tasted like foie gras.
maguro maki - this is a traditional Osaka style sushi. Sweet rice was sandwiched between two pieces of fatty maguro and a layer of kelp seaweed. The roll was wrapped in banana leaves for a couple of days. It tasted more like a Chinese tamali than sushi. sooo amazing! He said that this style of sushi was the predecessor to the contemporary virsion.
The expression on everyone's face was pretty amazing. Everyone transformed into a child when they were ordering their tastings. We sat around the bar, and waited for our turns, and watched the chef dice up the fish. Waiting, waiting, giggling, waiting. Then came the most beautiful mori awase. Definately, this experience filled me with a feeling of bountiful gratitude.
Everything's a learning experience for me lately. This particular experience reminded me what I had forgotten. The joy of making something beautiful and having other people partake in the joy of the experience. To experience beauty is really worth living for. And I want to be a maker of beauty.
