Sushi includes Rice

I always tip well if they bring us the right food. This particular waitress
was very good with us. We followed her from one restaurant to another. We
actually went there because she did. She has food allergies as well so she
was always careful to get our food order correct.

We ordered a side of fries and no entrees. We ordered an assortment of side
dishes. The total of our meal turned out to be far more than it would have
been had we ordered two meals. They had a dinner menu for a while, then
took it off of the menu. People then complained and they put it back.
Although I would prefer to have a bowl of chili and a salad, it costs me a
LOT more to do it that way than to order the one and only meal I can order
from the dinner menu. You see the bowl of chili comes with a giant muffin,
which I declined. I always decline the roll that comes with the dinner. If
my daughter orders a burger, she does not take the bun that would normally
come with it. So they were not losing any money on us at all.

Me either, but I think they are talking about buffets. I know about
Todai (one used to be just a few miles away, but something else is
there now) and we have an Indian restaurant with a lunch buffet a mile
or two away.

I've never seen a sign like that at the restaurants where I'll eat sushi
- thank God! That's rather insulting.

OTOH, I like mushrooms but my doc has told me to stay away from
foods that will give me a fat ass so when I get the craving for
mushrooms, I'll always head down to the nearest all you can eat pizza
buffet and dig in, or rather dig in and pick out then throw the pizza
away. There's nothing quite as tasty as mushroom baked on a bed of
cheese and tomato sauce. Yummy!

If it is, then it's yet another factor that contributes to how fat
Americans have become.

The only buffet I've been to that I don't dislike is the Indian one.
I thought it was fine (the one time I went), but I know nothing about
Indian cuisine so I had nothing to base a criticism on. As far as
others go (including la te da hotel buffets), the price is too high,
the quality is not up to sit down eating standards and I don't eat
enough to make the price worth it for me - especially when basically
all I eat is salad and the cold, unbreaded prawns that are dipped in
cocktail sauce (because everything else is sh*tty tasting).

There used to be an All You Can Eat pasta place here. The guy who owned it
was very nice. He had a great Italian sandwich shop that as far as I could
tell was doing very well. But then he decided to close it and open a fancy
pasta place. I don't believe they advertised that it was all you could eat,
but if you ate in there they would gladly give you more of whatever you
wanted and not charge you for it. And this was in the days before refills
on soda pop came free!

The food in there was VERY good but the restaurant just never caught on. I
don't know what became of the owner. I never saw him again.

There are two ways that I make sushi rice.
1. I use prepared, sweetened sushi vinegar and I never bother with the
traditional fanning. It comes out well enough for me as an accompaniment
but I never make actual sushi and I doubt I ever will.
2. I use a dried sushi rice powder flavoring. This is made in Japan and
may contain ammonium acetate rather than vinegar since it is dryu.

Trust me, it's not impossible. When I first met my husband, I used to make
pizzas and sandwiches that were so loaded with toppings they were next to
impossible to eat. I was trying to impress him because he is one of those
people who thinks bigger is better.

I made the same mistake when attempting to make gluten free pizza for my
daughter. I wound up putting sooo much cheese on there, it not only
overflowed the crust and frankly was disgusting to eat.

Thankfully I finally figured out what the correct amount of toppings was.

I have never been to a Cici's. We don't have them here. But I have been to
some pizza buffets where they put precious little toppings on the pizza.
It's like a cheap frozen pizza.

There's a difference between a pig removing the topping at an
all-you-can eat buffet and someone eating at a sushi bar. At the latter,
the customer could choose to eat only the topping tho' why they should
since it would be rather foolish and wasteful because they could order
sashimi.

That's the one I was trying to remember. They had one in Pleasanton,
on the Western edge of the SFBA. Apparently, it died a little over a
year ago. No great loss. It sucked!

There was a new one called Crazy Buffet, that opened just before I
moved, but never tried it.

I've never heard of a pizza buffet, but crusts of all kinds are a
learned taste for kids (and for some adults). It's partly taste,
partly texture. I didn't like to eat bread crusts as a kid, but
somewhere along the line I noticed I was eating everything. It just
happened. As far as modern day pizza goes, crust is my favorite part.
It's really special when it has air bubbles in it. My son loved pizza
crust too as a kid. What he did was eat all the pizza points and put
the crust on the plate... and ate them last, because he loved them.
We started off thinking he didn't like them and would try to take his,
but he was saving the best for last.

From my experience it is a maybe try it once and never go back place.
The "pizza" is baked in an air oven and the toppings have an industrial
taste. I didn't expect much and my expectations were fulfilled.

That menu would probably work for us. Daughter has allergies to peas and
lentils. You'd think those things would be easy to avoid, but they often
use them in gluten free products or dairy free cheeses.

I only had boiled peanuts once. They were not common any place I lived. I
heard about them online and people were saying how good they were. And they
might be when fresh. But I ordered canned. And a lot of cans of them. I
think they were cheaper if you bought 6. I couldn't give them away. Nobody
would try them. And I found them to be so disgusting that I wouldn't even
give them to a food bank.

Obviously, you've never suffered one of their "seafood specials".

Lobster dinner at one of the four premium hotels at South Shore, NV.

Driving home next day, on the CA side, felt a twinge. Became an
annoyance, which turned into a discomfort, which turned into an acute
pain, which soon became a real imparative survival issue. I knew a
bavarian style roadhouse was ahead, but not how far. When the cramps
in my lower intestines threatened to impose permanent destructive
replacement damage to my drivers seat, I finally hadda pull over and
head for the river flowing alongside the hwy. Scrambled down the
bank, found a rock, dropped my drawers, and nearly rocketed into the
cleansing/comforting Summer flow of that life saving Sierra tributary.

Back on the road, I finally passed the road house, about six miles
further down the road. I'd never have made it. Besides, I noticed a
large sign out front proclaiming , "restroom use for customers only".
I gave a chuckle as I drove past trying to imagine throwing a ten-spot
at the bartender as I sprinted through the front door with my butt
cheeks clenched tighter than ones jaws in an entodontist's chair.
Apparently, they'd dined in the same establishment or were at least
somewhat familiar with the digestive tract purging qualities of some
of NV's finer restos.

"Nevada has the best", my ass!!

Part of the problem I would imagine is save a few heavy population
centers on the opposite coasts, most folks in the US probably don't know
the difference. I have heard the word Sushi all my life, but only
recently heard the distinction of sashimi..
