Ep 9 - O-Sushi!
Monday Jul 06, 2009
Monday Jul 06, 2009
"The pleasant experience of eating something you have never had before, will extend your life by 75 days!" -- Japanese Proverb. Ok, not everyone will like sushi, but everyone should *try* it (unless you have a fish allergy). And, even if this Japanese delicacy isn't for you, please consider going to a sushi restaurant to try some of the other dishes there, especially if your friends are going! Links of Interest:

Looking back at this episode, we forgot to even really discuss the origins of the carnival. But, it's probably nothing you haven't already seen on the History Channel. In case you missed every show that's been on about Mardi Gras, check out this great article from Wikipedia about the different carnivals and festivals of the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival.
