Well, guys, it's going on 10:30pm here, and I've got a busy day tomorrow, so I'm off to bed.

Catch y'all in the morning!

I adore umeboshi. And I didn't get a dinner out for my birthday...so I'm trying to leverage some nori rolls. And Miso I don't have to cook myself. On a tatami mat.

If I can't get bought, I might have to do it myself. I've gotten kind of fixated.

**Mari** · 03-27-2008, 06:32 PM

Oh, you can make it? I tried making egg-sushi myself and my favourite oyako-don, but the rice wasn't sticky enough for the sushi and I couldn't find the vegetables for the oyako-don. Actually, I can't even find good soy-sauce... Me jealous...

Good luck with the convincing. You could always try ordering it

Umeboshi is sour plum. Very sour. Makes your mouth and face go very funny

If you like sour stuff, this is it. If you want to try it sometime, make sure you try the large variety first, because the smaller ones are more sour

Yes, I've got that from experience.

What kind of food is that? Japenese? Chinese?

**Mari** · 03-27-2008, 06:48 PM

Japanese, but I'm sure they have it in China as well. Sometimes difficult to tell what came from where.

Nurvi~! *crushes Nurv in a hug* Long time no see. How are you?

(Okay okay, that was perhaps a bit too enthusiastic. *shrugs* Who cares?)

The last sane person · 03-27-2008, 08:27 PM

UMEBOSHI ROCKS! Though if I ate it now it would kill my face... Yuuuum...

**Mari** · 03-27-2008, 08:30 PM

Well, just tell me when you are all better again and we'll hold a Japanese party WITH umeboshi in your honour. Idea?

Nautipus · 03-27-2008, 09:10 PM

As much as I love cats, this is too funny

:

(This is just too funny! This could only be true; you simply can't make this stuff up!)

The Dillard's Shopping Bag

Clutching their Dillard's shopping bags, Ellen and Kay woefully gazed down at a dead cat in the mall parking lot. Obviously a recent hit---no flies, no smell. What business could that poor kitty have had here?" Murmured Ellen. "Come on, Ellen, let's just go..." But Ellen had already grabbed her shopping bag and was explaining, I'll just put my things in your bag, and then I'll take the tissue." She dumped her purchases into Kay's
bag and then used the tissue paper to cradle and lower the former feline into her own Dillard's bag and cover it. They continued the short trek to the car in silence, stashing their goods in the trunk. But it occurred to both of them that if they left Ellen's burial bag in the trunk, warmed by the TEX AS sunshine while they ate, Kay's Lumina would soon lose that new-car smell. They decided to leave the bag on top of the trunk, and they headed over to
Luby's cafeteria. After they cleared the serving line and sat down at a window table, they had a view of Kay's Chevy with the Dillard's bag still on the trunk. BUT not for long! As they ate, they noticed
a black-haired woman in a red gingham shirt stroll by their car, look
quickly this way and that, and then hooked her arm into the Dillard's bag without breaking stride. She quickly walked out of their line of vision. Kay and Ellen shot each other a wide-eyed look of amazement. It all happened so fast that neither of them could think how to respond. "Can you imagine?" finally sputtered Ellen. "The nerve of that woman!" Kay sympathized with Ellen, but inwardly a
laugh was building as she thought about the grand surprise awaiting the red-gingham thief. Just when she thought she'd have to giggle into her napkin, she noticed Ellen's eyes freeze in the direction of the serving line. Following her gaze, Kay recognized with a shock the black- haired woman with THE Dillard's bag, hanging from her arm, brazenly pushing her tray toward the cashier. Helplessly they watched the scene unfold: After clearing the register, the woman settled at a
table across from theirs, put the bag on an empty chair and began to eat. After a few bites of
baked whitefish and green beans, she casually lifted the bag into her lap to survey her treasure. Looking from side to side, but not far enough to notice her rapt audience three tables over, she pulled out the tissue paper and peered into the bag. Her eyes widened, and
she began to make a sort of gasping noise. The noise grew. The bag slid from her lap as she sank to the floor, wheezing and clutching her upper chest. The beverage car t attendant quickly recognized a
customer in trouble and sent the busboy to call 911, while she administered the Heimlich maneuver. A crowd quickly gathered that did not include Ellen and Kay, who remained riveted to their
chairs for seven whole minutes until the ambulance arrived. In a matter of minutes the curly-haired women emerged from the crowd still gasping, strapped securely on a gurney. - Two well, trained EMS volunteers steered her to the waiting ambulance, while a third scooped up her belongings. The last they saw of the distressed cat-burglar, she disappeared behind the ambulance doors, the Dillard's bag perched on her stomach!!
Sometimes, God does take care of those who do bad things! (AND once in awhile..He allows us to witness it!)

Probably NOT true, as it has been retold a coupla times, but still funny.
