Well, actually, that’s kind of a lie; I snacked while he spoke of his latest work, The Last Fish Tale. He came to the local Community Association in a small [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At times, the most minor difference can make a tremendous impact; something that may not seem obvious but leaves a tip of the tongue realization. A new restaurant has opened near me and has grown on me quite a bit, but it is easy to know why. It is a seemingly small difference, however it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sushi has been a popular item in the west for a few decades now and as with anything that makes its way across cultures, it has readily changed to better match western palates. But unlike noodles and soybeans, sushi has not merely changed to fit our preferences; it has begun to shape how we view [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Japan is a fascinating country. Steeped in tradition, yet quick to adopt new technologies and trends, Japanese culture is an interesting melange of the old and the new. That said, while they took the transistor from its western inventors and changed the world, some things I&#8217;m hearing don&#8217;t sound like progress to me. If you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And people ask if sushi is safe to eat! The FDA has issued a warning to consumers regarding monkfish, as, apparently the Hong Chang Corp. has imported potentially deadly puffer fish (fugu) into the US and labeled it &#8216;monkfish,&#8217; While fugu is a well regarded (and potentially dangerous) sushi dish, if not prepared properly the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a question I get asked a lot. I have always been pretty conservative in answering for a variety of reasons, mostly because there *are* risks to eating raw foods for anyone, especially during pregnancy, and since I am not a doctor, I don&#8217;t want my musings interpreted as medical advice. That said, there [...]]]></description>

With the popularity of sushi spreading worldwide, it should be no surprise that everyone and their brother wants to jump on the bandwagon.
