sushi, sashimi, wasabi...
It's all good in my book...and the more 'fishy' tasting, the better...love the fish roe.
My last visit to "Fuji Sushi & Steakhouse" in St. Cloud, I mentioned that to the waiter, he suggested the "NY Roll" ...As described on the menu, "Crispy salmon skin, Cucumber with eel sauce." It was great, but not for the faint of heart.

Fish eggs.....I kept having Russians trying to convince me how wonderful caviar is. Yeah, we got a
10 am business meeting and the guy shows up with caviar and vodka to start things off.
And then they are miffed when you don't want to eat heavily salted stinking fish eggs and slam half
a dozen ( or a dozen) shots of vodka at 10 am.

I don't know what Japanese-American food tastes like. I do know what real Japanese-Okinawan food tastes like and it's darn good stuff. Fish, pork, chicken and beef in that order seems to be how it runs. None of what I ever had was raw, strong, hot or super sweet or bitter in any direction. It was good stuff. Now real Korean food is awful IMO. Kimchi and all that other stuff is for the birds.

That's a little game called "Get the American drunk first, THEN we negotiate".

Rice topped with salmon roe (Ikura) and a quail egg yoke, all wrapped in seaweed is one of my favorites. Only eat a couple each year, because of the cholesterol.
Never eaten raw octopus. Not even all that popular in Japan. Most eat it cooked.
Another favorite is pork ramen, but has to be from an honest to goodness ramen shop.

Never worked with this American, Ian. I got slightly tipsy exactly twice, and both were late at night
and at private parties, no business being conducted. Even taking a tiny sip off of the top of a shot
glass at all the toasts, while everyone else is slamming a whole shot, eventually will get to me.
I am no kind of drinker. But I know it and am careful. And doubly in foreign countries where judgement
is required.
The quantities of hard liquor that they can put down and still talk and walk is amazing.

Worked for Sony for a while. Upon completion of a 9 month long, high priority project, the company arranged a dinner for about 27 of us at a high end Japanese restaurant in Hollywood. The guy who I worked under at that time in the studio machine shop got pretty drunk (not sloppy, just happy).
He saw a small plate with wasabi on it, thought it was guacamole and spooned up about a half inch ball of it and plugged it right into his mouth.
He was drunk enough that the usual eyes burning, sinus clearing effect barely phased him.
Everyone gasped and then started laughing.

Dead cow , pink a little red maybe but hot through thanks .
Ms loves sushi , I told her she gets to feed me once . Fugoo that way I have a 50/50 chance doing in that it'll kill me out right and not via some parasite .......
Booze and business should mix like oil and water .
A little house action .
Before & after opening up the living room wall from the "bar" pass through and swinging door to the open arch just under 15' . It's a laminated beam 5×9 1/2 nominally 6×10×15'9" with the arch it's sort of reduced to "just" 12'9" .
One more back the other way .
Total gains it opened 2 14×16s and 14×17 rooms to a 30×17 with 10×16 step . Makes a huge difference in the kitchen light !

Wow,,,, I can imagine it's a huge difference.
like most things there is an art form to drinking with Russians.
the key is the food courses between drinks and the volume of alcohol.
I'm not a drinker [but I'm pretty good at it when I decide to be] and can sit down with Saki and sushi, margarita's and burrito's, ouzo with street lunch, or Russians and Vodka.
you gotta pace things out for a few hours to end up with no ill affects.
I usually end up so stuffed I can't walk without looking like I'm pregnant, but [shrug] I'm walking, and more importantly not hurting in the morning.

Ah, the joys of living in a home while you rebuild it! We spent a summer with a a microwave, a toaster oven and a fridge. Ate a lot of take out and a lot of stuff off the grill. Moved the kitchen around a corner and stripped 2 or 3 layers of flooring to get to the original floor. My knees have never been the same since.
Our 40% chance of light rain less than 1/10th inch turns out to be thunder, lightening and a steady moderate drizzle. Oh boy!

Agreed, at least so far, 462, but Weather Underground was purchased by The Weather Channel, and I finally
had to pretty much give up on them unless there was no other source. I hope they don't ruin WU like they
have TWC over the last 10 years or so. Hardly any weather on TWC any more, just videos about weather
events. Online, I used to have links directly to several good weather channel weather charts and radar
map of the portion of the country I am interested in. They kept moving the pages around ever few months,
making my stored links obsolete GRRR. And over time, most of the useful weather maps have been
replaced with seriously dumbed down junk maps with less info, apparently tuned to a not-too-bright
8 year old's view of weather. As an old pilot, I have actually learned weather and flown through and
around a lot of it over the decades, and I WANT the frontal charts, and the Highs and Lows, plus some
radar info. Try and get that today, pretty difficult to find.

art form to drinking with Russians No, they just think cause they grew up on Vodka they can drink. Went to a Chrismas Co. party while back, half the crew is Russ. They chided me into drinking their 'premium' stuff, just a shot. Downed a full shot in a gulp, told them it was just OK. Really ticked them. No effect on me, they expected the cough and 'wow' remark. Asked for another, nope, kept it for themselves. 180 doesn't do much right away but I suggest you be careful what you had eaten. They typically ask for the most expensive stuff when someone else is paying. Hardly touch anything anymore, not great for the heart. Now gin and milk I cannot stomach.
What is Beta? Her BIL was riding check for 747 and showing them how to stall recover, most did it wrong. I did notice he's running a 4 blade prop on that tiny craft. Had a guy (teacher) flew p38 (?) with the 4 blade. Attack power dives, surfaces went SS and reversed. Lost a bunch of pilots till they figured it out.

So.... I pretty much love rifles,basically live with a well tuned CB rig within arms reach 24/7. Wife does not care that there's a revolving series of,"on display" rifles in our back room..... on an antique chest under the big screen.
Just sayin,compared to a jacked up Doberman that "owns" the place.... having rifles in our lives is,not only normal but,has a sort of calming effect.
9 y.o. Gdaughter here for the week..... give you two guesses who's rifle is front N center? Yup,the youth stocked H$R 30-30.... black and pink sling with an ancient Harris bipod. This a.m. whilst watching some wonderful hillbilly NZ boys wandering around in their hills.... on YouTube. They're hard after hogs and Red Stag.
Me and Ruru(Ruby,the Gdaughter) are sitting there watching these boys dispatching caught,hogs with a fixed blade to the jugular..... here it comes. One of their little brothers gets some film time,they're after Red Stag. And he's carrying what appears to be the same Ruru rig that's right in front of us.... yup,carrying a broke open single shot,paying his dues with the brothers.

Speaking of drinking problems.....
Changed wifey hotrod '16 Sube,full synthetic $$$ oil this morning. Suffice it to say.... it has a,minor/major oil,drinking problem. And to be fair,a lot of cars have this,social drinking problem.
Enter '95 Buick Park ave,looks like an Aston Martin if you tilt your head.... and in the right light,sort of styling.It's our beater,bow shooting "hit car". Being as this vehicle is a personal obstacle to me getting an actual, "nice ride"..... I maintain it as little as possible. But,it does get maintained.
Not only does it seem to be "making" crankcase oil(don't use a DROP).... It apparently doesn't mind if you ride around for months with the power steering pump whining like a 6.5 creedmoor shooter getting his arse handed to him by a CB shooting 7mm "guy"....
Just sayin,I looked and looked for the gauldang PS reservoir.... had to get on YouTube and STILL,had to send out an expedition to find it..... found it,and gave it a sip of fluid. All's well that ends well....
