A quiet week, sort of

The kid has been out of town this week and it has been pretty quiet around the house... I have been able to spend some quality time with my hubby. We have watched a ton of movies including the Sherlock Holmes sequel. The movie was good, not as good as the first Sherlock Holmes movie, but it definitely was worth seeing in the theater. I won't give any spoilers for anyone who has not seen it yet. We also finally finished watching all of the Harry Potter movies. Since it has been awhile (years really) since I read all of the books, I had a hard time comparing 6, 7 pt1 and 7pt2 to the books. I guess that is a positive point to a bad memory.

We also went to eat sushi. This is a big deal because the hubby lost his sushinity. We went to two places: Sushi Sam (first night) and Cowtown Sushi (2nd visit a couple of days later).  I started him off easy with the popular and easy to eat California roll,  and we shared a salmon roll, spicy tuna roll and Sushi Sam's Super Sam roll. It is a California roll with shrimp tempura added. The salmon roll was definitely the weakest roll. It was a bit slimy and not the best I have ever had before. I think we both had once piece and didn't eat the rest. We ordered the calamari tempura and it was okay. A bit overcooked. I will leave calamari to Italian restaurants. Sushi Sam was absolutely packed and the prices were fair. Cowtown Sushi was better, but a little more pricey and had an intimate feel. We ordered the California roll, a Philadelphia roll, a cajun roll (crawfish tempura) and a spicy tuna. Some of the rolls were rolled a little sloppy, but in all tasted better. I was not pleased by the appetizer of tempura combination (2 crab legs and a few random pieces of veggies). it was way over breaded and over cooked. The price for Cowtown was just a few dollars more than Sushi Sam. Overall, both had their ups and downs, but I think I preferred Cowtown over Sushi Sam.

My other guilty pleasure for the week has been Pinterest. I have several projects I am working on and also learned a new way to style my hair. I did this to my hair, although my hair is a few inches shorter.
