The big 3-0

Well. I turn thirty years old tommorow. Wow. I feel old. As always, I chose where we ate tonight. As always, I chose Asian. More specifically, Japanese. Even more specifically, we had to try somewhere new, so that meant going to OKC. Shiki Steakhouse is the only Japanese restaurant featuring an oil derek out front,at least I'm pretty sure of it. It was a good meal. But, I really think Kyoto, here in town, is a better restaurant. Everyone got the hibachi, except me. I am the only real sushi fan in my family. I had the sammy roll (tempura shrimp, cucumber, raw tuna, and raw salmon) and the crispy salmon skin roll (pretty self explanitory). Both were very good. I hope Kyoto has the latter next time I visit. Very tastey with a great texture. The Kyoto roll, however, is much better than the sammy roll (very similar ingrediants, if not the same). I will have to say, my old roomate James Beckman is the guy that got me into sushi. I'm glad he did. My family, however...

Anyway. 30. Yikes. I still feel like I'm about 23 or so. With a child and a mortgage, that is.
