New thing...

As the subject suggests, “New thing...” posts will be my thoughts after trying something for the first time. Let’s get the ball rolling:

New thing... Sharing anything about myself publicly.
This is quite out of the ordinary for me. Even with the relative anonymity afforded by an online forum, it’s still somewhat stressful putting my thoughts out there.

So that’s the idea - though in all fairness this first topic is considerably more introspective than I expect future ones to be (for example, my next post will be about a new type of food I tried today).

Comments are always welcome.

New thing... Sushi

Yesterday a coworker was ordering sushi for her lunch, and she asked if I was interested. At first I declined, but then though “what the hell - why not?”. I don’t know if there’s any real reason why I’ve never tried it before. I guess I don’t really go out of my way for seafood in general, so more than likely it’s just never come up.

So after spending what felt like forever looking at the menu (mostly because almost everything had cucumbers in it, which I can’t stand), I finally settled on a Jamaican Roll. Kind of a timid first step since it used smoked salmon - so no raw fish this time. Overall it wasn’t bad. I did have one revelation - after the first bite I remembered that I don’t really like salmon. But there were enough other flavours, plus a little spice, that helped keep the salmon from being too prominent.

Will I try it again? Yes.
Will it be something different? Definitely.

I think Sushi is one of those things that has pretty polarized opinions - love it or hate it. I’m interested to see what other think
