Chris & Abbie

The family was having lunch today and asked us to eat with them. On today's menu: Raw Seafood Sushi.

I was so nervous about it - not necessarily the taste, but I have a real issue with textures, and slimy isn't one I do too well with. But I have to say that I had about 7 different pieces and they weren't bad - they weren't my favorite, but they weren't bad. The other teachers said I did a good job, especially for my first time. I couldn't finish everything so I brought the leftovers home and Chris ate them for an after-school snack.

My teacher said to me this afternoon, "Abbie Sensei, lunch was maybe interesting for you today."

I said, "Yes, it was different, but it was pretty good."

This isn't my lunch, but really my lunch looked pretty much the same, only it also had some eel, which isn't in this picture.

Here's to trying new things, and thanking God for how different and unique He has made all of us!
