sixteen july ninety eight ten p m sushi after dark A nice walk. Had beer and sushi (not together; green tea is really the only beverage that works with sushi). I don't eat sushi as a full meal very often, because to fill me up I need between twenty and thirty pieces of sushi. That's pricey. But tonight I was hot, and the sushi was perfect for the weather, and I felt extravagant. I wondered why the tuna looked so unusual, and then I tasted it and realized - they had the good tuna tonight, the belly tuna ("toro" vs "maguro," for those who know the sushi-speak) that is exceedingly hard to get in this country, as the Japanese tend to buy it all up. Walked down Mass. Ave. to get some coffee, then turned around and drank it as I headed back home. After nine p.m., but the streets were full; restaurants were packed; people were walking around and chatting. Cambridge is finally learning how to deal with this heat thing: Everything good just gets moved to later in the day. © columbine |
