I Heart Sushi!

As 'payment' for shooting some family photos for my sister and her husband, I was treated to sushi and sake bombs at Takenoya in Santa Barbara.

I say SAKE! You say BOMB!

SAKE! BOMB! 

SAKE! BOMB!

SAKE! BOMB!!!

They're a little messy. 

After chugging it down I matter-of-factly said "I can feel it in my brain". Hehe.

This was the roll I ordered. I think it was a Hurricane Roll. I know it had tuna and yellow tail. I also know that it was DE-LICIOUS.

Nom, nom, nom.

Me and Adrian {brother-in-law} split a Red Dragon Roll. More delicious tuna. YUM!

This is my friend, Elaine's Rainbow Roll. It looks like there's some crab and avocado inside, and tuna with two other kinds of fish on top.

Is your mouth watering yet?

Elaine also ordered a Tuna Box roll. I tasted this one. It was by far my favorite.

Crab on the inside, tuna on the top drizzled with eel sauce and another creamy sauce. Finished with scallions and roe.

It was so good, Adrian and I ordered one for ourselves. :)

Now if only I could find good sushi in Fort Wayne.

South Coast Deli

My brother-in-law, Adrian took me to South Coast Deli in Santa Barbara, CA for lunch today. OH! EM! GEE! It was SO GOOD!

My sister and me both got 'The Phatty'... chicken salad with basil mayo, bacon, and avocado.

The basil mayo was so yummy, the bacon was all salty and crispy, and the avocado was perfection.

Adrian got the 'Italian 3-way', which was my second choice... Triple-decker turkey, cappicola & salami w/ provolone cheese, basil mayo, lettuce, tomato, red onion & pepperoncini. After the description, the menu reads "GOOD LUCK!"

It was HUGE.

Adrian could barely fit it in his mouth.

I totally had sandwich envy. Luckily, Adrian was awesome enough to trade me half my sandwich for half of his so I got to try both. :)

I thought about saving the last few bites for later. Ha!
