(Being) Fabulous Friday: "Sushi is like crack...

... and that sushi was good crack." - My P.I.C. (Partner in Crime) about our maiden voyage to Asuka Japanese and Fusion Restaurant

Sushi's making a comeback. For a twenty-something it can be sophisticated dinner alternative to a steakhouse house dinner. Not to mention it's cheaper and healthier for you than steak (though steak will always be my dining first love.)

I used to not it sushi at all because I didn't want to eat raw food (I know, I know) but once I tested the waters with a California Roll (which has all cooked meat) I was hooked. And the fact that you can pretty much find a place that does "Half Off" or "Buy One, Get One" anytime you have a craving, it made an affordable, healthy alternative.

(being/becoming) Fabulous Friday

I am always on the go and I don't take the time to cook. (I know...bad...bad...) However I am concerned about my caloric intake even when I have to grab something on the go or I'm out with friends.

I found this link: http://www.shape.com/healthy_eating/grab_and_go/ that has some of the best selections for people watching what they eat at some of my most frequented eateries including Applebee's, Wendy's, and Chick-Fil-A.

My fave:
