Despite my efforts to be removed from the Hillary Clinton mailing list (a list I never signed up for) , the unsolicited e-mail continues to roll in.

Eye Exam

We went for our annual eye exams. Cynthia’s got a sizable floater due to detached vitreous which was diagnosed a few months ago. This was our first follow up since that discovery and she needed to be dilated so the doctor could have a look.

She’s fine, but probably stuck with the floater. At least the retina’s not detaching along with the vitreous.

We’re splurging for new glasses!

Sushi

We spent some time browsing around the Half Price Books last week while we waited on their buyer to give us a price on several boxes of books we were looking to part with. While we were looking around I came across a book on sushi preparation. Cynthia had commented several time over the past few weeks that she would like to learn how to make sushi so I suggested we get this book.

Cynthia had never attempted sushi before, but was eager to try. A co-worker of hers named Louis who knows a little about the process told her about a store called Nippon Daido which just happens to be around the corner from where we live. They sell everything you need to make sushi, from wasabi mix to sashimi grade fish. We stopped by on Saturday to pick up the supplies and today Cynthia tried her hand at rolling some home grown sushi.

This is the very first roll she made:

Not bad for a beginner!
