Oh well.
This past week I checked two more things off of my 27 at 27 list. And only two weeks in! I don't expect this streak of accomplishment to last but who knows. Maybe turning 27 has really improved my motivation.
Courtney and I visited a little Greek/Persian/Italian restaurant called Shiraz Cafe. The meal I got, which was similar to chicken parmesan, featured a vegetable I've never tried. Eggplant.
I've always thought I wouldn't like eggplant, based solely on its name.
Aside for a life story!! I played basketball in middle school and in 7th grade we (someone on our team, don't remember who exactly) decided one of our plays should be called eggplant. We thought it was hilarious or something and it became a running joke. At the end of the season, our coach bought us all a plastic eggplant. I still have the thing.
Anyway, I never thought I would like the taste of eggplant. However, in this particular dish, it actually wasn't bad. Its texture reminded me of a cooked cucumber (or what I imagine a cooked cucumber would feel like). I'm not sure about the taste but it was interesting. I'll have to try it again sometime.
The second item I checked off the list was to try new sushi. Courtney, Hillary and I went to Osaka, our favorite Japanese restaurant, on New Year's.
I tried two new types of sushi: the Indian Roll (crab and cream cheese) and Shrimp Tempura (shrimp and idk even know what all...). I liked the Shrimp Tempura better, but it was more flavorful. Crab and cream cheese is a little bland. Though, I did add ginger and soy sauce. :)
I know I could technically mark another item off of my list: visit a restaurant I've never been to. But I feel like that might be cheating a bit so I'll save that one for later.
