toro: crack of the sea

I spent my weekend cleaning my room and doing all my laundry. But my walls are all painted and my furniture is in place, so soon my room will be all done (pictures forthcoming. I had dinner tonight at Sushi-Ko. Always a tremendous meal there, if not the most filling. Beef tenderloin with seven-spice powder and daikon was rare and juicy, an unusual starter, but very well balanced.

The duck breast with wasabi mustard opened my eyes to food pairings. I wouldn't have thought duck could withstand a wasabi mustard sauce, but it was perfect. The breast, both juicy and fatty, quite well prepared.

The highlight of my meal (and best thing I've eaten in months) was Toro. Impeccably fresh fatty tuna. It melted on my tongue, dissolving the flavors of tuna and sea water throughout my mouth. At $8 for two pieces, it may become a very expensive addiction, but I need more.

I'm going to wash it all down with yet another mixed berry milkshake (my fourth in three days). Yum.

Finally, from Josh: type "miserable failure" (with quotes) into google and hit "I'm feeling lucky."
