Great Crisp Day

Today was definitely an October day. You could smell it in the cold crisp air. It called for sushi strangely enough so I went to the gorgeous Wang Center. The building has a very Asian feel to it and I find it extremely tranquil. So I grabbed two boxes of sushi, grabbed a seat outside and enjoyed my rolls.


Now I much prefer nigiri sushi but a roll every now and again is good stuff. First up the unagi roll. You know me I love unagi so it was hard not to like this roll. It was standard, not stellar but not bad at all for boxed sushi. Cucumbers were crunchy and rice was decent. The bad thing about boxed sushi is that the rice is cold and gets kind of gummy. The rolls either stuck together or fell apart and it was annoying, but the taste was there and ill give it merit for that.


The other roll I got was a tsunami roll. Never heard of it, looked good so I got it. Consisting of Tuna, salmon, baby shrimp, some white fish roe and a nice wasabi mayo. It suffered the same flaws as the former roll, cold sticky rice. The mayo on the other hand, helped break it up. I like the whole tuna with mayo thing on a roll so this worked well. The tuna was grainy, not going to try and hide that. Even for boxed sushi, it wasn’t that stellar. Though despite it all it was enjoyable, but lacked more then even my low expectations predicted.

Around comes dinner and behold another tasty soup! I just can’t get enough of this liquidey goodness. Tonight’s soup was a tomato and rice consommé. It was most likely made with the same base as Saturday night’s soup but it had subtle differences. I like rice in thicker soups, it gives it more body. Something to stick to is always good in a soup. There were some crackers lying around so I plopped them right in. A repeat of last time, a nice soul warming taste.

Lines were too long for anything, so I grabbed a boxed sandwich and hoped for the best. It was better then expected. Nice roast beef still a little raw, salted nice. The cheese was okay not bad at all probably processed but well. Lettuce and tomato same kind of lacking stuff but edible. The crown jewel of this thought was the secret. I dunked the sandwich into the soup. My god was it tasty. The nice cold sandwich sucked the soup into its bun. It was a match made in heaven. I thought back to what Andy told me once "Frank ain't no meal better then a soup and a sandwich, that’s it." In this case he couldn’t have been any more on target.



Today was good eats, lots of boxed goodies but to my surprise better then I expected, maybe the box aint so bad after all.
