asian day.

today when i got home from school my roomie shalene asked me if i would like to go to the store with her to get stuff to make egg rolls. i said i would and declared it asian day. we went to albertsons and got everything we needed except for the egg roll wrappers. we looked everywhere, (or just on the asian aisle) and could not find them! so we decided to ask a workers for their help. however, we couldnt seem to find a worker, so finally i went to the bakery and asked the lovely lady there. at first she thought i said cake roll wrappers and looked at me like i was a wackadoo who should be in the looney bin, but as i restated the question she seemed confident that she knew exactly where to take us to find egg roll wrappers. you guessed it, the asian aisle. well, she too had no luck finding them on the asian aisle and proceeded to tell us how they were always out of egg roll wrappers and she could never find them! so we bought everything else we needed and headed over to broulims. the local family owned supermarket. when we got there we headed straight for the asian aisle, but ran into more misfortune when we found no egg roll wrappers. but there was a worker just a little up the aisle and so we went and asked her if she knew where we could find egg roll wrappers. she too seemed very confident and said, "of course, they are over in the produce section by the bagged salads." now it was our turn to look at her like she was a wackadoo who should be in the looney bin. but she seems so confident that we decided to take a whirl over to the produce section and ... sure enough, right above the bagged salads were the egg roll wrappers we were looking for. well, it was then that i spotted the vegetable sushi, and seeing it was asian day, decided to buy them and have my first go at sushi. so we bought the egg roll wrappers, and the sushi and came home. as soon as we got home we broke out the sushi and gave it a go.

i have left out the picture of me looking like i am going to throw up and running to the trash can. turns out, i do not, whatsoever, like sushi. it was really gross. and that almost ended asian day for me, but i decided to give asian day one more try when shalene finished her egg rolls and offered me one, and i was glad i did! it was so good! it was a fun asian day, and i learned something very important, sushi = bad, egg rolls = good.

scripture of the day:

Mormon 9:27 O then despise not, and wonder not, but hearken unto the words of the Lord, and ask the Father in the name of Jesus for what things soever ye shall stand in need. Doubt not, but be believing, and being as in times of old, and come unto the Lord with all your heart, and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling before him.

today i am thankful for:

* roommates who push me to try new things, even though sometimes i dont end up liking them, because sometimes i do end up liking them!

* time to spend with people who make me laugh.

* the blessing of being able to go to school at BYU-I.
