Celebrating our Anniversary

Charlie and I celebrated our 11th anniversary this week. He decided to make for the first time fresh tuna and what better night to do so than on our anniversary? Having never prepared it before he randomly picked a recipe as he often does but then added his own twist to what he was in the mood for and of course it was really good. We had no idea how filling it would be so if you're thinking tuna is too expensive like I did, well a little goes a long way!

While Savannah is out of town visiting her grandparents she asked what we had for dinner on our anniversary and when I told her "tuna fish" you could tell she scrunched up her nose, pictured a can of smelly tuna, and was like, "What?" So I explained to her that it was fresh tuna like how daddy makes fresh salmon. She said, "Oh. Did you and daddy catch the tuna fish?" I laughed and told her that no, we didn't. That we bought it from the store. She asked this question with much credit to the fact that she and daddy have been out fishing a lot lately and naturally she thought it was something we had caught while out fishing. We will have to show her how big a tuna really is and where they live for her to get the real picture I think. Kids are so cute. I just love them.

Speaking of fresh tuna we went to Island Sushi buffet last night to continue celebrating our anniversary. It is one of newest favorite sushi bars. We like that it is quality ingredients - including real crab - not that fake stuff and the atmosphere is a lot of fun. You literally sit around a bar where there are chefs in the middle preparing all sorts of rolls as well as any roll you request. The owner is super friendly and enjoys conversing with you as you dine.

Now I know what you are thinking when it comes to a "buffet" and don't get me wrong, we had our doubts at first as well. Anyway besides being all you can eat and getting any roll you want for one price the sushi comes around to you on tiny little boats that float on water in a stream around in a circle. It is really a fun way to try all sorts of sushi made fresh in front of you. Oh and one thing to mention, don't get a Wisconsin bratwurst sausage roll. Sure it is fun to entertain the idea being in Wisconsin and all, but take it from me, it is not a sushi experience you'll want to try any time soon.
