Told ya!

See...I told you. I'm really bad a keeping up with posts. It's almost a year since my last (and first) post. Maybe the second time will be a charm.

So nothing exciting has actually happened in a year...it's the same old Sioux Falls experience, but I'm going to try and go out there and see if there are any gems. For me, I tend to do the same things each week: dinner and a movie. The summer is typically busy for movies and I eat year round. Not too exciting, I know.

However, moving to a more "exciting" note, I finally made my way to Cleaver's on Western. I wanted to make sushi yesterday and I was looking for fish that would be acceptable to use. They did not have any in stock, but I left my number so I could get a call when something does come in. Don't worry though, I didn't leave empty-handed. There is no way I could be around all that food and not buy something. I decided to get a fillet of salmon.

My eyes got pretty big when I saw $15.95 a pound though. What the hell!!?? I guess that is the price you pay for good fish? I'm going to have to do a little research on that and check around town. On the flip side, after eating that fish.....my somewhat buyer's remorse went in my stomach with that DELICIOUS fish. I'm usually not a big salmon fan because I always seem to experience dry fish, but this fish was good. Also, my total lunch (salmon, green beans, and roasted potatoes) cost me about $9 so if you think about how a restaurant would probably charge me $18, I'm feeling pretty good.

A new shipment of seafood is supposed to come in today, so I may have to pay a visit. (FYI: new shipments come in Tuesdays and Fridays and if you let them know before noon on Monday or Thursday, they can get you whatever they want. I learned this yesterday.)

Well, that's it for now. I've got to hit the books. Before I go, I leave you with a question: where is the best Chinese place in town?
