(I know, blasphemy! Really, people. I eat many foods aside from sushi.) A quick search on <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/musha-restaurant-santa-monica">Yelp</a> found a cute little Japanese Izakaya called <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/musha-restaurant-santa-monica">Musha</a>. </p> <a class="bigPic" href="#" title="Spicy Tuna Dip"> <img src="http://img.fridgg.com/540we_186400_75___farm4.static.flickr.com/3024/2988752814_68f25c33b6_b.jpg" alt="Spicy Tuna Dip"/> </a> <p>The first dish that came out was the Spicy

On only our second day live, <a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/cooking/roll-your-own-maki-sushi-212070.php">we got a very warm welcoming</a>, and significantly more traffic than we had ever expected. From there, things only got better.

Bento, Cookies, and BBM Fun
<p>Everyone loves getting packages. Especially when they're somewhat unexpected packages with awesome goodies inside. And I got three! In the same week! How awesome is that?</p> <a class="bigPic" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3147/2987800577_bff0d66054_b.jpg" title="Bento Box!"> <img src="http://img.fridgg.com/540we_186400_75___farm4.static.flickr.com/3147/2987800577_bff0d66054_b.jpg" alt="Bento Box!"/> </a> <p>First off, I received the bento box that I won in <a href="http://feistyfoodie.blogspot.com/">Yvo's</a> <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/11/27/does-this-make-my-lunch-look-phat/">Does This Make My Lunch Look Phat? contest</a>.

Salmon Summer Sushi
<p>Every now and then, a reader <a href="http://sushiday.com/contact/">emails me</a> with an idea for a sushi recipe. I always do my best to respond to every email, and I'll usually ask the reader if they mind if I make the sushi and post about it. Unfortunately, sometimes it can take a while for me to get to making the sushi, and then sometimes even longer for me to get around to posting about

After all, I wouldn't have this sushi blog if I didn't love it, now would I? As with any trip I take, my first thought is of what sort of good food can be found in the
Mochi in Hawaii
<p>Ever since I was very young, mochi has been a special treat for me. My mother would take us to the Japanese part of town every once in a while to stock up on the Japanese foods that she liked, and we would always stop by the little bakery in the shopping center. We each were allowed to pick one piece of mochi to take home with us and eat later.
Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar
<p>When Son and I booked our trip to Hawaii, we knew that in addition to trying all the best local food, we wanted to have sushi. Lots of sushi. There are many other sushi restaurants we are looking to try (one can never have too much sushi) but since it is close to our hotel, we decided to try <a href="http://www.sanseihawaii.com/index.html">Sansei Seafood Restaurant and Sushi Bar</a> first.</p> <a class="bigPic" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ballerinagirl/2878001661/" title="Mural on the
This little piggy…
<p>Bacon. Anyone who knows me even the least bit knows that I adore bacon. Sometimes, a little too much. So why not put it in sushi? Seriously... <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2008/07/16/breakfast-roll/">bacon</a> <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/09/08/bacon-crunchy-shrimp-roll/">in</a> <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/08/26/kristen-maki/">sushi</a> <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/07/11/i-scream-cone-temaki/">is</a> <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/01/07/blt-maki/">amazing.</a> My family knows that if there's bacon in something, there's a good chance I'll eat it.

A Look Into My Fridgg
<p>For nearly two years now, I have been sharing my love of sushi with you. Every week, new sushi recipes or restaurant reviews. From reading Sushi Day, one might assume my entire life revolves around sushi - many are surprised that it does not.</p> <p>Sushi is only one of many things I make in my kitchen. I love to bake, and I cook many other dishes as well. For quite some
