it's my birthday

and I'll eat sushi if I want to!

It's official. Or at least it will be by the end of this month. I won't be early-thirty-something anymore. Mid-thirties it is. So to embrace and celebrate this next phase of my life, I am inviting you to come eat sushi with me! Now who could pass that up?

When?
Thursday, Feb 22, straight-up noon

Where?
Asuka Japanese Sushi & Steak House
2244 N. University Parkway, Provo
(across the parkinglot from Olive Garden)

What?
A most delish all-you-can-eat sushi bar--everyone picks 3 rolls and we all share, eat, chat, order some more, eat some more and chat some more till we're done.

Who?
All you bloggers and anyone else I feel like inviting.

Why?
You'd eat sushi, too, if it happened to you!

sue-donym said...

I'll be there, with bells on. And yes, where are you registered?

I'll be the one with a red carnation in my hair

Ms. Julie said...

I'm going to try to be there! I've put it in my planner. :) Happy Birthday!

Lisa said...

I'll be there for the good conversation, but I'm not eating sushi, and you can't make me. (And I'm certainly not trying sushi for the first time in UTAH, landlocked as we are.)

But I'm really excited to celebrate your birthday! WOOOOOOooooo Whooooo !!!

Lorien said...

oh lisa, what if you just tried a deep fried one? not so fishy? you might find an unexpected, new love of your life! (I'm sure that's what your last fortune cookie said!) just think it over for a couple of days...

As for the registry...I'm only registered at the most prestigous shopping places...

whatever. I don't even know what prestigous shopping places are. forget the registry. just try the specials at the walmarts in town. because I know you ALL want to bring me lots of gifts.

Dang. I can still come, but I won't be able to eat anything. I have to go in for a thyroid scan that afternoon and can't eat anything after 12:00. I'll sit out on the sushi with Lisa, but it won't be because of an unwillingness to try. (Unless, of course, you want to go for an early 11:00 lunch...then again, don't change your plans just for me.)

Deep Fried Sushi?!?!?!?! wha........?????

The Dally Llama said...

It's called sushi tempura. Asian cuisine folks have long mastered the art of throwing anything and everything into scalding hot vegetable oil. And it's amazing.

Lisa, you are really, REALLY missing out if you won't try sushi. Just find the ones without sea weed in them and they don't taste even a little fishy. I used to be an outspoken anti-sushi advocate, but, like Karl Malone, have come around 360 degrees, so I think I can speak with authority when I tell you that you are totally missing out. -Although if you still want to hold out, that's maybe not a bad call. Asuka is OK (I give it a B/B- on my sushi snobbery scale), but it's not the best sushi around. Go to The Flying Sumo in Park City, and you will have your socks knocked off.

Lorien said...

you never took me to the Flying Sumo, you big jerk. and I didn't even know you HAD a sushi snobbery scale. the things you can learn about your own kin in blogworld!

dalene said...

Lorien, I will come and celebrate your birthday with you.

Lisa, I will come and not eat sushi with you.

And that's so not old.

Melody said...

Lorien! You're a real woman now... how lucky for you (and Guy).

Wish I could join you. I WOULD eat sushi and I WOULD talk, unfortunately: there are sick lungs to be listened to, wounds to be dressed, IVs to be started, blood to be collected... you know, all the usual lunchtime fare... so I'll have to grab something on the run.

But know that I love you and I'll be thinking of you amidst the sickness and bodily fluids.

Sister Pottymouth said...

Mmmmmm...bodily fluids. That was an appetizing comment Mel. ;-) Perfect for sushi.

Great SUSHI LO!!! Great time yesterday. It was fun to meet more blog people.

Good times, good times.

Ms. Julie said...

Loved it, loved it. And I was so full from all that sushi. Happy tummy.

I hope it was a terrific birthday for you, Lorien!
