Price Chopper Sushi

After four midterms in a mere two weeks, I was rewarded with a four day weekend. I took the liberty of skipping campus and heading to Burlington, Vermont. My $8.50 roundtrip Megabus tickets were the best investment I've made this semester (other than the $15 I spent on Korean barbeque a few weeks ago).

I ate countless pieces of baklava, bagels with lox, Vermont cheddar, freshly picked apples, and hot, fresh, cider donuts. It was a very indulgent weekend. I also was given my first introduction to Price Chopper. I was quite impressed with their selection of lox and even more impressed by the variety and quality of their sushi. My only complaint was the wasabi and soy sauce that came with the sushi. It had a strange salty taste (and I LOVE savory) and the wasabi didn't mix well. Now, this may very well be attributed to the fact that I dropped a heavily dressed piece of salad in my saucer of soy sauce. That being said, given the chance to purchase sushi from Price Chopper again, I would definitely buy it.

In addition to eating I also pet furry dogs, drank hot Maple Milk (hot (soy)milk with maple syrup), watched a pumpkin regatta, biked double digit miles along Lake Champlain, went apple picking, and I even managed to do some reading for my bio class.

Unfortunately my marvelous weekend has not re-energized me nor given me great motivation to begin my first research article for biology. However professors expect that I turn in my homework on time, regardless of my level of motivation.

I'll leave you with a photo of the pumpkin boat, the cider donuts, and a fluffy, kind golden doodle.
