Sushi tuesday's with the kids ...

We are starting to fall into a regular rhythm now :) Tuesday nite is Sushi night. We call up Masao-San from Sushi House tuesday morning and place our regular order (combination of nigiri sushi, sashimi and rolls) for pickup tuesday evening. Mari picks up the kids from school, feeds their ever growing appetites and drops them off at Nelson library. I bike to the library and hang out with them doing art and puzzles for the next hour or so. Mari wanders around happening Nelson, picks up the sushi and wanders back to the library. The nelson area also gets tuna from Fiji on tuesdays and hence there is a bit more variety in the sushi.

We then head home with a platter of yummy food ready to be devoured by the starving Tilos/Lobo clan. There has been an interesting change in dynamics the past few weeks. PJ who would not touch sushi once upon a time now competes with Maya to pick up the choicest morsels (leaving the rice for moi!). Last week we had to increase our order to accomodate PJ's growing appetite. Unfortunately, today Maya and PJ took it to the next level and pretty much gobbled up 80% of the sashimi and quite a bit of the other nigiri (the rolls have too much rice for their liking!). Looks like the order will need to be revised again for next week :)

Its kinda nice to see how PJ's food habits have evolved from a year ago. A year ago she would only eat rice, oatmeal and meat and refuse to touch any fruit or fish. Today, she loves to eat fruit and fish and is becoming quite adventurous in her eating habits (she still has some ways to go to becoming a true foodie!)
