Here is my delicious sushi dinner from Friday. For appetizers, we split a tasty roll and an even tastier soft-shell crab. In Lloyd's words, "the average soft-shell crab is about the best thing I've ever eaten, and this is ten times better than the average soft-shell crab." Granted, we don't eat deep-fried foods much, so the rarity only enhanced his excitement. The crab really was the treat of the meal, and got me wondering if I could ever pull such a thing off at home. I happened upon this article that says yes, I can, and with ease. I will have to try it sometime. Back to our sushi dinner...to balance out the rich, decadent crab, we shared a board of assorted sashimi. Pictured is one of my favorites, tuna.
I am a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, so fish is my nutrition forte. I earned my BA in Communication from Southwestern University, just outside of Austin, TX. During college, one of my very favorite evening outings was a leisurely trip to the healthful food market. My passion for food was undeniable, so I combined both of my interests by earning my MS in Nutrition Communication from Tufts University in Boston, MA. As well as my Registered Dietitian (RD) credential through the University of Delaware.
Beyond reading scientific studies about docosahexaenoic acid and selenium, I love to entertain, travel, watch reality TV, grill outdoors, and go to spin class. I live in Washington, DC and am surrounded by a cast a characters you will get to know as you read my blog, including my fiancé (Lloyd), my cat (Miles), and my three sisters.
