wasabi

I had sushi from Trader Joe's today that was stale - almost crunchy. It was dated for Dec. 16, so I kept eating it, thinking I must be imagining it. I wasn't. I feel like the experience might take me away from my nearly constant urge for Trader Joe's sushi, especially after a workout.

However, a recent trip to Kawasaki downtown with friends has me thinking that maybe it wasn't actually the sushi that I was craving. My friend saw me putting my usual ton of wasabi into my soy sauce mixture, and she said something like, "Geez, don't you want to taste your sushi?" My answer was yes, but upon later reflection, I think I realize that it's not so much the sushi that I love - although I'm not opposed to it - but it's probably the wasabi. I just loooove wasabi.

Trader Joe's used to have wasabi soy nut, but discontinued them. They now have wasabi cashews, but they're just not the same.

I just bought a bag of "wasabi peas" there today, and they're great (a good handful will make my eyes water). I discovered them a couple weeks ago. They have it stocked either with the nuts or with the snacks.

Harry and David make a wonderful wasabi mix (like a chex mix sort of thing). it has soy nuts in it too - it's really good.
