Sushi Station

Yesterday K and I went to this Sushi restaurant called Sushi Station. It was a fun dining experience for sure! Most of the sushi rotated around the restaurant on an enclosed conveyer belt. And when you want some sushi, you just open the door and grab the one you want! They had some fun dessert options too. We tried these water dumplings filled with bean paste. They were so juicy feeling and delicious. We had so much sushi and other good stuff like tempura vegetables and green tea, it was great! MMM sushi!

BFF visit!

Apple Pancake

Yesterday my best friend Brian came all the way from Korea and drove from Iowa to Chicago just to visit me. Now that's the type of dedication and commitment you'd expect from a 1st Lieutenant! It totally makes up for the last time we had the opportunity to meet over a year ago when he didn't tell me he was leaving. Grant it, we were both busy trying to get our own lives straight so we hadn't talked for a month or two...

We had a good night and we literally went bar hopping, staying nowhere for more than 45 minutes. Before that we ate huge meals at Famous Dave's and I finished all of mine. I don't remember the last time I ate so much. We also fit in a viewing of Super Troopers and a stop at Starbucks where the cashier so suavely asked "Are you guys... together?" when he was asking if we were going to pay for our drinks separately or not.

This morning we had breakfast at Walker Brothers with Kristin. I had a very delicious apple pancake that was about the size of a standard pie, literally. Good times were had by all and then Brian left. I said that I'd come out to visit this fall. I should do that, it'd be fun!
