Had sushi tonight. There's a (very good we discovered) Mom'n'Pop Japanese restaurant called Miyuki a half mile from the house. Which means that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kathleenroberts and I can both drink, since we can just walk it. It was very busy when we got there. Had a half-hour wait at 8 pm, but everyone else waiting was adamant about it being worth the wait. It was indeed, quite good. And less expensive than the other sushi places we've been to round here. They also didn't have a lot of the "special" rolls you see a lot. Why are macadamia nuts a common sushi ingredient in Santa Cruz? I prefer the more traditional types in any event. The sushi menu is entirely in Japanese (ok, Romaji), so you've got to know the Japanese names for the fish. Not an issue for us, but it might be for others.
We _finally_ got the last bits of the house put together and all cleaned up at the same time, so I'll be taking pictures of it tomorrow and posting . . . eventually. We still have pictures of Fall Equinox and the Monterey Aquarium to post. Yes, we've been here four months and just now got it all done. It was mostly done about two weeks after we moved, but we just ran out of momentum and a few piles lingered until recently.
The only reason it got done now is my folks are coming tomorrow. They're spending three days with us, then heading up to Sonoma County to visit the rest of Mom's family, and _next_ weekend we're all going to San Francisco. There's nothing in Watsonville really worth seeing, so we'll take them to Monterey for the Aquarium, Cannery Row, and Fisherman's Wharf and to Santa Cruz for UCSC, the Boardwalk and the Municipal Wharf there. Tomorrow I'm going to the River Cafe Cheese Shop in Santa Cruz, Gayle's Bakery and the Cabrillo Farmers' Market in Capitola, and Phil's Fish Market in Moss Landing for cioppino ingredients. Lots of good eats to be had, but they're scattered. I'd post links to all those places but I'm too lazy. None of you are likely to visit these places anyway.
Magnetica for the Nintendo DS is at least as addictive as Tetris.
