Sayonara Sushi

Hadeel is on a plane to Egypt as I type. She's going there to do a six month internship at an English newspaper. About a dozen of us took her out for dinner before she left. She was in the mood for sushi so we ended up at Suisha Gardens. It's an old, old restaurant in the city. I'd only been there once before. The sushi was nice. I think I've had so much grocery store sushi, I've forgotten how good sit-down sushi actually is. On Friday I had a tuna maki and a futo-maki. Both were quite nice. Then I helped Hadeel finish her crab maki. You know how some restaurants bring up certain memories? I think I'm going to think of Hadeel when I pass by the Suisha Gardens from now on. I'm going to miss her. Who else will watch Oprah and Dr.Phil while waiting for return calls at the office? I can't wait for her to tell me what the sushi is like in Cairo.
