Mmmmmm….sushi.
I wondered the other night exactly how many days it would take of eating sushi every night before I got tired of it. I’d guess it’s well over a month, possibly longer. I’ll have to try that experiment sometime. 
Saturday night we went out for sushi with a group of friends to a restaurant called Ege. It’s always a good sign to walk into a sushi joint and hear “Irasshaimase!” being called out to you as a welcome.
Check out the cute handwritten specials menu with all the adorable sea creatures on it!
I especially like the little octopus at the bottom with another octopus on his head. I think it is a zombie eating his brains!
We ordered A LOT of food, starting with some edamame…
…teriyaki salmon…
…and beef tataki that I couldn’t snap a picture of before it was devoured!
Then came the sushi. Here’s what was shared between the 6 of us…
Rainbow roll, spicy tuna roll, tuna and avocado roll
Sashimi plate
Bamboo roll and yellowtail nigiri
At that point I loaded up my first sample plate, knowing there would be lots more coming and we needed to clear these out!
Turns out I wasn’t the only one snapping photos that night. Emily has a pretty new toy she was testing out…
Tuna roll, uni, ikura, unagi, tuna avocado roll
unagi and yellowtail
Apparently I didn’t get a picture of the last plate, which was tamago (egg omelet) and anago (sea eel). Here’s my second helping…
That buttery soft anago is one of my all-time favorites! I had more than what you see here too.
So after all that sushi and 4 caraffes of hot sake, we wanted dessert! Off to Cafe Intermezzo for a slice (or 6!) of the best cakes around and some yummy cocktails.
It was dark, but I got the best photos I could. This picture came out crazy with the ghostly figure in the background. That’s John, Emily, Marshall, and Kelly; Jeff is to my left but he got cut off.
We started with a round of drinks. I got a Manhattan Deluxe…
Intermezzo has an enormous menu, but everyone seemed to stick to the classics…white russians, mojitos, old fashioneds.
After drinks were on the table, it was time to go pick out cakes…
Entire case of cheesecakes
And another case of cakes
I got a huge profiterole type thing. It was filled with Nutella whipped cream and topped with chocolate!
I laughed at Jeff for getting plain cheesecake with so many interesting choices available, but it was so good that I ended up eating more of it than he did! Wise man, my husband.
Here’s a pic of Johns’ 7 Layer Amaretto, another one of my favorites…
I actually used to work at Cafe Intermezzo back when I was 19, so I get warm fuzzy feelings every time I go in there. Also, I know which cakes are the best, as I’ve tried every single one of them.
Another great night out. Can’t argue with sushi, booze, and cake!
