Sushi, Target and Maw Maw

Today was an experience, and that is to put it nicely.  Since Pickles had a half day of school, we decided to go and get our Valentine shopping wrapped up. She still had to get her cards for all her classmates. She is so picky, that nothing at Walmart would work, so off to Target we went.  I was feeling way to kind, and asked Maw Maw if she want to go too.  What do you know, she went along for the ride!  Pickles got to choose where we went for lunch, so she picked her favorite Japanese restaurant.  I had no idea Maw Maw has never had Japanese.  She wanted hot and sour soup, and they had no idea. She thought Japanese and Chinese were one in the same.  I got tickled listening to Pickles explain the difference.  They promptly brought us a warm towel and Miso soup. Pickles thinks this is wonderful and explained to Maw Maw that it is only chicken broth, seaweed and tofu.  She said this like quite the little foodie.  Needless to say, she enjoyed both hers and Maw Maw's.  Let's just say that was the easy part of lunch. 

Pickles and I have our ordering down.  She likes California rolls, and I like all other sushi.  We usually order two different lunch meals, and then I take her nigiri sushi, and she gets my California roll.  Maw Maw on the other hand ordered Teriyaki chicken. She was not pleased with the ginger noodles...she said they were cold. Hello...news flash...they are meant to be served cold!  The little Man was happy, because she kept feeding them to him. They are his favorite, along with the chicken fried rice.    After we listened to Maw Maw talk about how the only good thing on her plate was her chicken, we paid our tab and off to Target we went!

When we arrived at Target, we went our way, and Maw Maw when hers.  I guess she was lost, because she found us as we were headed back to the front.  We waited in Starbucks at the front for another hour. She finally made her way to the check out line. She was so delighted to shop out of town for the first time in quite a while.  Maybe the key to her getting better, is to force her out of the house! 

Until next time, keep adventuring and looking for joy in the little details of life!
