Melanie's Mostly Writing

We went out for dinner tonight, to a new sushi place nearby. I am childish at heart sometimes and was entranced by the conveyor belt of beautiful sushi slowly rolling past us. My favourite is salmon sushi so we had a few of those. We ordered some Hawaiian salmon sushi and it came on a special track above the conveyor belt and whizzed to a stop perfectly. The bell reminded me of an Amtrak train crossing. It was delightful.

After the sushi we had slivers of red velvet cake and New York cheescake. I had never had red velvet cake before. It was very nice. I couldn’t have any coffee as caffeine after about 3pm will keep me awake. The cake made me want to try baking again. My little, tiny oven is a bit unreliable but I used to have fun baking bread and castella cake. I might fire it up again soon.

  • Of Reinventions and Regrets

    Well, I’ve calmed down a bit after my hair disaster yesterday, but it’s been replaced by extreme regret. I wish I had never touched my hair! It will take over a year for it to grow out, so 2026 is the year of the black bob. I arrived at school and the comments ranged from…
