Wasabi Wednesday...

on a Friday. When Travis and I used to live above a bar in downtown Galveston, we used to do this thing we called Wasabi Wednesday. Every Wednesday, we would meet Ariel and a group of friends (whoever was up for it that week) for sushi happy hour a couple blocks from our apartment. It was cheap and entertaining. Since it was on a Wednesday, we could never get to crazy, unless we were willing to endure a day of work with a hangover (we only had to walk home). But that usually helped keep the spending to a minimum.

When we bought our house and moved off the island, Wasabi Wednesday sadly came to an end. We had to stop all our frivolous spending, not to mention that we had a drive to make if we wanted to go to the bars. We have been back for sushi happy hour on random occasions, since the restaurant celebrates these lovely four hours five days a week. I would say I can count the times we've been there in the past year on one hand. Things are looking like that might change. Although it won't be every week, sushi "happy hour" is coming back... to our house!!

Robert gave it a try.


Travis made what I like to call Sushi Supreme - everything was in it.


The set-up: Miso soup, crab ragoon, egg rolls and sushi rolls.
