Black and Tan sushi love
My latest obsession, besides my new running shoes (hi shoes, love ya!), is sushi.
We stayed overnight in Madison on our trip back home last week and went to the best sushi bar ever. It was called Sushi Muramoto and it was totally awesome.
Here's a shot of the bar.
Our first round was the chef's choice 9-piece nagiri sushi meal. I forget which types of fish there were, but among others there was salmon, two types of tuna, red snapper and shrimp. We also got a seaweed roll (maki sushi). Mmmm, yummy. I had nice glass of chardonnay and Josh had a Sapporo (Japanese beer).
Next, we had a plate of tuna and avocado California rolls and scallion and yelllow tail tuna maki sushi rolls. The difference between the two types of rolls is that the California rolls have the rice on the outside, maki sushi has the ride inside the roll.
The rolls were surprisingly filling so we decided not to get dessert. :-(
We headed back to the hotel and then to the Irish Pub next to the hotel. I thought we were going to get a traditional dessert, but we ended up getting fried calamari instead. I was amused by the baby calamari - all those legs! so cute! - and almost felt guilty eating them. Until I had one, then they were done for. They were way too tasty to feel guilty about.
After that, I had my first ever Black and Tan. Holy love. The picture does not do it justice.
I liked my B&T so much that I had at least four of them. That I remember, anyway. All I know is that our bar tab was over $50. Whoops! Oh well, we were on vacation!
We had nice greasy breakfast at McDonald's the next morning (the best hangover cure ever) and we bade Madison, sushi and B&Ts farewell.
I still haven't gone running in my lovely new shoes. I'm afraid to get them dirty! I think I'm insane.

Black and tans rock. And so does sushi. Cool to see we still have stuff in common after all these years! (Except the running part!)
Enjoy this stuff now as you will be hearing from your digestive system in about 5 years. I recommend PepcidAC. Take it with you at all times.
