My friend Emily invited over some Hyde Park ladies for a male-free evening of kirs and sushi prepared by the host herself (with a little help from the early arrivals, that is Mindy above.)
Emily knows where to find some of the best fish in the city. My favorite rolls from the evening had eggplant with a soy sauce reduction that was superb.
The spread was impressive and the tastes even better. We all brought a bit to drink, ranging from bottles of wine to rum in a glass jar. We ate more than our fill of sushi to find that Colie had brought cupcake which we also did a number on.
Stuffed to the gills and heady from the drinks we played board games and watched animated shorts. It was a great time, even after the boys came around 1am to finish the sushi.
Thank you Emily! It was fun and delicious.

Lise Sveen - I’d like to know the names of some fish sources in Chicago, please!

Pam Zutell - Do you know where we can purchase the soda pop “Ting” that was so popular for 20 -30 years? It is bottled in the Waupaca, WI area, however, I cannot seem to find anyone who sells it for us to purchase. I would absolutly love hearing from someone who could let me know how to accuire this beverage sold in cases with returnable bottles. The soda is so good, less carbonation, less preseritives and takes like good old fashioned soda before everything was added to it. It would mean a great deal to us. Thank you.
gemma - Hi Pam. Do you live near Waupaca? If so you can go to the corner store in Rural that I mention in my post on Waupaca (you can find it here: http://probonobaker.typepad.com/probonobaker/2005/08/waupaca_2.html). I will email you this information too so I am sure you get it. Good luck. Ting is wonderful!
bonni - Hi,
You can also buy Ting at Cas Liquor in downtown Waupaca. I think it’s bottled in Shawano, Wisconsin.
Brian - You can also get Ting at a liquor store in Slinger on Hwy 175 accross from the post office
