Omega 3s

I went through a period of liking and eating salmon sushi once or twice a week.

I felt better. Like the sky was bluer and I laughed more. Also raw salmon tasted good. My body joints and my skin felt better, looked better.

Then one week I stopped my new food hobby. And another week went by and everything reverted back to way it was before salmon sushi.

I find this odd. But also wonder if my body is in big time need of Omega 3s that less than an ounce of raw fish could make me feel that much better.

Do you have a food that makes you feel better?

Is it a "night and day" issue like my raw salmon?

Sakana on Foothill Blvd

The best Japanese restaurant in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mtns. Well, I have not tried them all, but I loved this place. The staff was super nice. The lunches were served two-tiered. Don't forget to look at the lower plate (waitstaff says to bento person Ha Ha!) 

Look at the lovely yumminess! 

Cold Somen Noodle Bowl with Homemade Smoked Salmon Sushi

I am fascinated with noodles and these Somen are typically served cold although the hot versions sound yumski too.

This was a lunch for one. Me! The asparagus tips - so tiny, and carrot matchsticks, a whole shiitake, and baby bok choi were steamed al dente.

The noodles were boiled and returned to cold water. They came out pretty good considering how quickly they could have turned to mush.

I had a sauce for dipping, a combo of sesame oil and shoyu and dashi. It was perfect.

This was my first attempt at homemade sushi. 

I went to a favorite restaurant Friday for lunch and got a sushi component where the chef decides. He gave me a smoked salmon one and I loved it!

So I knew I had smoked salmon from Alaska in the cupboard, sooooo

I tried.

Yeah. It is not the greatest picture, and it didn't taste like my Friday lunch, but it was good, and it was good to try.
