* Went to the Mustard Seed for lunch while out looking for light fixtures for our new library (oh, but that's a whole 'nother blog in waiting). We used to go there more often before we had kids, but it's been a few years since we've been for lunch. The sushi and noodles were fine, but the soup tasted like it had been sitting around since yesterday. The snow peas had turned completely brown from the amount of miso stock that it had absorbed.
