grown up food.

i know i eat like a 7 year old. no sauces. no dressings. limited vegetable consumption. and to be honest, i'd rather eat chicken nuggets than anything.

but. BUT. i took one for the TEAM last night. i went out for sushi.

i mean... i'm a trooper. i'm always good to go along with the group. there's always SOMETHING i can eat at any restaurant... and i usually work it out on the adult menu, thank you.

i don't know what came over me. ed and i sat opposite each other eating our safe chicken. jen and kevin tenney sat on either side of me with rolls and rolls of sushi. i had teeny tiny tastes of the hot red goo on kevin tenney's sushi rolls. good flavor. deliciously hot. but i didn't dare get anywhere near the tuna. but, for some reason... jen's surf and turf tempted me. i've tasted crab before... and didn't hate it. and steak... wrapped in rice and fried... how bad could that be?

i stared at it for a few. i gathered all my brave guts and chomped. i may have created a scene. they may have been embarrassed to be seen with me. and there were a few times i thought it might not make it down. jen even pulled the mom move and put her open hand out in front of my mouth to catch whatever might come out.

but i did it.

and i hated it.

but now i can say i tried it.

and i hated it.
