fred, liz and i headed down to marlana's for an oscar weekend. we went for sushi friday night - the first new thing.
we tried a variety of rolls. some cooked, some raw. some tuna, some salmon. some shrimp, some eel. yes, eel. it was fabulous. we had a great time.
over the course of the weekend we managed to watch every movie that's been nominated for this year's Best Picture award at the Oscars. or, at least, we tried to watch them all. we agreed that if we got 20 minutes in and no one was enjoying it, we would turn it off. we took advantage of that with two of the movies. the other 8 we watched in their entirety. i've certainly never watched that many oscar nominees before.
we headed home sunday afternoon, but traffic on 465 was terrible, so i took us on a little detour. undoubtedly we did not save any time by detouring. there were a lot of other people doing the same thing we were, so we still sat in traffic. we did, however, pass a Trader Joe's along the detour. and seeing as none of us had ever been to a Trader Joe's, we simply had to stop. :)

SO glad you tried sushi! LOVE IT! Eel is fine, but the tuna is by FAR my fave. Trader Joes, too, great place :)
Stopping at Trader Joe's...does that count as one of the 31 new things? Which movies did you guys decide weren't interesting past the first 20 minutes?
