King Kone Hand Rolls

This is blog number 69.  Snigger.

My diet has been crap lately.  I haven't felt like grocery shopping, much less like cooking, and honestly, nothing has really seemed appetizing anyway.  Times like this I wish we had dog food for humans.  Just a nutritionally complete people-kibble that would taste reasonably good and I could live on it alone.  Eating can be such a chore.  I wish I was an air plant.  Or a robot.  I wish I could teleport nutrition into my belly, bypassing my mouth altogether.

As a special little treat for myself, I went to King Kone Hand Rolls for lunch today.  Mind you, this is a special little treat I planned out last week.  Making sure I have three meals a day arranged is one of my tasks.  I can't simply open up the fridge and snack on something; this requires careful planning and utilization of my meager resources.  I mean, I have to put something in my stomach regularly or it starts to, like, hurt.  And stuff.

I had a Groupon for this place so I ordered quite a bit of food, too much food, actually.  I had to throw some of it away, something I wouldn't normally do but sushi doesn't keep.  I had a ceviche hand roll, a dragon one, some seaweed salad, and something called sunomono which is cucumber salad with kimchee sauce, or so I was told.  Everything was pretty much fine.  Not thrilling, but fine.  Well-priced.  I really don't like the seaweed hand rolls come wrapped in so I ate the filling with a fork.  It was basically a mound of rice with chopped veggies, fish, sauce and toppings...pretty good but not exquisite.  And only superlative awesomeness is tempting my fickle palate lately.  I mean, the paper thin slices of white tuna, garnished with scallions, dipped in ponzu sauce, that I had at Mr. Yum recently was exquisite.  "Pretty good" is just puppy chow.  Must.  Regain.  Food.  Mojo.
