I love sushi!



I love sushi! I don't think it has to do with my ethnic background (Japanese) but I love it! I wish it didnt' have all the carbs but that is pretty much impossible because half of what makes sushi, "sushi", is the rice! Growing up, rice was the staple of my family's diet. I loved rice. Rice is so plain but it is so good! My dad is a real rice eater. He takes these huge bowls meant for ramen, and fills it with rice. He's a farmer so he needs the carbs for energy I guess. I on the other hand, having been a pretty lazy kid who spent most of the time indoors drawing, ballooned up due to the excess carbs.

Luckily I've slimmed down some, but I still enjoy rice. Rice is the default "side" or starch in Hawaii. Fries or potatoes often have to be requested.

I guess sushi is one of my favorite ways to eat rice but I also love musubi (plain and not spam), and rice with shoyu poured over (often seen as a sin by die hard rice eaters).

i love how you add the little textures to your stuff. I took one look at your Geisha on the motorcycle and decided I had to start over...

Oh, goodness! No way@ keept those designs! I really like the designs of Kimi, Seiko,, and Nami. They seem like "elemental" (fire, earth/nature/plants, and water). Cool....
