Bike Bike Bike

Helllllllllo!!!

[Said in the Mrs. Doubtfire accent 😉 ]

Today has been a bit crazy – up to my neck in interior signage, merchandising units and furniture choices. I was still in my PJs having serious business discussions with Matt when I realized I had better shower in order to make my lunch date with Amy!

IMG_5703Blog

Bike bike bike! I’m on a bike! [Bicycle rights!] Did you know I now chant that in my head when I pedal?!

this !
I figured since the weather is nice and I have 2 bike outings and one walking outing scheduled that going to the gym was not in the plans. I much prefer active living!

Amy and I met at Now & Zen, a new sushi restaurant downtown that caters to the in & out crowd.

IMG_5695Blog-2

They had a case of freshly made sushi packaged up in rolls of 3 – so you could try two kinds!

IMG_5696Blog

I got an Alaskan and a Spicy tuna, both had white rice and the tuna had green onions [] but they were good overall. I like sushi, but I don’t love it. I think because it’s compact and gone so fast!

IMG_5697Blog

So was my cup of lemongrass soup!! Souper spice!

IMG_5700Blog-2

I also tried a sample wasabi peanut and a brownie sample bite for dessert

IMG_5701Blog-2

It was a good lunch – and inexpensive too! Only $7.30 for all of this [savings on water to drink and counter service].

IMG_5698Blog

After lunch Amy and I walked around the block to take in our pretty city (which is awfully windy today!) and then it was bike, bike, bike back home.

Matt and I are about to go run some errands (they never end!) and then we’re out on the town for the Frist Friday Gallery Crawl this evening!

    I’m jealous you have bike weather…it’s cold and rainy here! One of my favorite rolls is Spicy Tuna..yumm! The other is Philadelphia roll, which is smoked salmon and cream cheese! Now I’m craving it…

    We have a great First Friday ArtWalk here in Topeka. I love to go in the spring and summer when it’s still light outside. Last July my daughter was the featured artist (photography) at the Upstage Gallery. It was her first show and of course I was the proud mama. Hope you have fun.

    Mmm… sushi! I love it. However, it is rather difficult to find sushi made with brown rice (my preference), otherwise I would definitely eat it more often!

    The lemongrass soup sounds so good. Lemongrass gives such a great flavor to food. And that sushi- YUM! Sushi is one of my favorite foods- could eat it for every meal. I love any rolls with tuna or shrimp.

    I have never, ever had sushi – sometimes people love it (Caitlin + Cowfish) and I want to try it SO bad then I see other people are ‘meh’ about it and I’m not convinced…it’s probably a good thing really there are no sushi places within a 2hr drive of me!
    Oh – and I totally thought that soy sauce package was ketchup 😛

    I just wish it was sunny once in a while so I could ride my bike. I”m not hard core enough to ride in the rain.

    Yummm love that sushi. I like it, but only every once in a while. Sometimes I have a hard time eating the larger rolls and then I just can’t do it anymore. Overall though, I really enjoy sushi!

    Have fun tonight!

    An active lifestyle is so much more fun that going to the gym! I would much rather ride my bike EVERYWHERE that go to an indoor spin class. It’s a good thing the spring weather is almost here.

    Yes those darn errands keep me busy as well. We think alike about sushi. It’s like the food equivalent of a protein bar, all those nutrients packed so tight and gone too quickly. I like the volume eating I’ve heard you discuss before. Plus am not that big a fan of Sushi. My husband loves it so I am glad my kids like it. Some one has be his sushi partner.

    Bicycle rights need to be applied with bicycle brains, IMHO. I see far too many cyclists throwing a quick signal before darting in front of a ton of metal with only a helmet to protect themselves! I’m sure you are more alert than that, but I just had to say it 🙂
