I'll bring the firewood. Indian Creek evening b.s. sessions around a campfire are legendary- especially with a belly full of sushi.

yeah, bread and water... and raw fish (probably tastes the same to fatty).

a lurker her on the taco has made a very nice offer for sushi. Wow!

4+ weeks away. 6 paid and counting. Two more with checks in the mail. Oh and Brick who's on the perma-paid list.

I wrote this on the thread Ghost started:

-------

I walked up to the sushibar and inspected his fish. He looked at me and ask do you have any questions. I said 'no'. and then I said, "yeah, the maguro - it's yellow fin?". It was without a doubt the nicest piece of yellowfin I've ever seen.

Mimi - gimme some credit ;-)
at my sushi bar you will also only find fish that comes from sustainable resources. You will not find Bluefin at my sushibar, you will not find it at Hajime's sushi bar.

I'd very much love to return and sit in front of him. I'd be nervous for a while. I have endless respect for a man such as Hajime. He has skills I can only dream of. He'd never take me as an apprentice. Though I'm sure on some level he'd approve of my approach he also wouldn't "get" it.

I mean.... by the time I die I hope to serve sushi in more remote and obscure places than anyone ever has. He/They (The Japanese) just don't dream that way.

I mean my god... who in their right mind would slice fish when it's 15F outside? Nobody in attendance even offered to take their thick gloves off to help me ;-)

Sushi Anytime and Anywhere.

Steve: well talk about doing it in Cochise.

oh, and a sick plan for rocking a penthouse suite in Vegas has been tabled.

I'm not going to do anything Saturday before sushi in the creek other than prepare food for you folks. I learned a lot that night about serving sushi. I was also reminded about things I was already aware of. A new approach and more inspired dedication to creating food that at least shows I've been inspired by a master.

humbly,
~nature

Edit: Mari/David - if you could help me remember as much as you can, in order, of all the dishes we had I'd appreciate it. the sauces are what I'm trying to recall most.

Double Edit: Omikase is an amazing way to be treated. But be sure you fully trust the quality of the itamae. That was the first time I've ever trusted that much. I was blown away.

Paypal sent, so even if I don't make it my cash will!

If I'm not too dreadfully ill to come I will make it too. And if I make it so will my 47 cams, so cross your fingers for me.

I have a hard time making concrete plans on physical activity but I am really excited about this. I would really like to climb Six Shooter if I can get anyone else into it. If nothing else I will help at the camp chores.

Looking forward to see everyone I know, Go Creek Go!!!!!

yah mon... after all I just spent $2200 on a 5'x8' so I could tote the sushifest stuff around for y'all's. Another $500 to outfit it properly.

And if I'm extra nice to P.Envy he's going to help build a sushi bar top that'll look as good as the wood floors he installs.

yeah, you're on the list just not marked as paid. but I knew you were paid. heck, you were the FIRST to pay! so I certainly didn't forget that.

If we can get 40+ folks for this in advance i'll order Real Wasabi.

Some of this came on the plate of White King Salmon and Sockey Salmon at Mashiko last week. Do KNOTT put it in soy sauce or I'll cut you off ;-)

Edit: others on the list may have also paid. That list is informal. I always keep keep a spreadsheet that is accurate.
