Itamae in General

For a month or so I toyed with the idea of making Keto Sushi.

I finally pulled the trigger and did it.

I must say I fucking rock at cooking. Even though cooking when making sushi is minimal.

16oz of riced cauliflower, 5oz of cream cheese, 2TBS of rice vinegar. For the rice base.

Two 6oz cans of crabmeat. Three TBS of Olive Oil Mayo. A TBS of Siracha. Another TBS of Rice Vinegar.

Slivered cucumber, sliced avocado.

Nori on the sushi mat, cauliflower mix on the nori. Cucumber slices, avocado. Crab mix. Roll. Roll again and refrigerate.

As good as any sushi I have had locally. Might not hold up in Tokyo, but it is unlikely I will ever make my way to Tokyo again.

Break Break.

Last night I was closing up the house. Putting the computer to sleep, turning off lights, putting away dishes, staging water for the morning. I checked my iPhone.

There was a text from the guy who will be my boss’ boss.

“Have you heard from HR yet?!”

The “!?!” cracked me up. I responded, albeit hours after he sent the text:

“Talked to Natalie in HR. Still pending. I’m supposed to hear from “Chris” sometime soon. No idea what “soon” means. Big wheels turn slowly.

He answered “Yep.”

“Another year has passed me by
Still I look a myself and cry
What kind of man have I become?
All of the years I’ve spent in search of myself
And I’m still in the dark
‘Cause I can’t seem to find the light alone
Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness
I’m a lonely soldier off to war
Sent away to die, never quite knowing why
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
Ten Thousand people look my way
But they can’t see the way that I feel
Nobody even cares to try
I spend my life and sell my soul on the road
And I’m still in the dark
‘Cause I can’t seem to find the light alone
Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness
I’m a lonely soldier lost at sea
Drifting with the tide
Never quite knowing why
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
Looking for love

I’m dying of thirst in the middle of the ocean”
