Sad Farewell and Some Sushi

As you might guess from my last few posts, I have slacked off a bit: I had to play catch-up, posting my recipes the same night I made them (instead of the morning after, which is much less time-sensitive) and I also lose my taste for food and cooking while my cycle is underway. But now, the cooking fiend in me has returned and what to cook all of my recipes for the week today, right now, instant deliciousness in my belly. Guess what? We're going out to dinner tonight. Our friends Rachel and Mana have decided to say good-bye to Kuwait and return to their beloved Hawaii (weird, right? Why would anyway choose Hawaii over Kuwait?) and we are having one last night together. It will be sad, doubly for me, because I have to wait one more day before I can make the pork noodle soup I've been eyeing. God, my life is hard. And non-alcoholic beer is so not worth it.
