Marie arrives, and we have sushi

Marie flew home earlier today after a handful of days with us.  In on Monday, out on Friday - a short, focused visit centered on Christmas but one that also allowed us to dine out together in a few favourite places.  That first night of her visit, we got her home from the airport and turned around almost right away to pop over to Mama M Sushi and sit at the bar.  Chef Jack was there, and so we left ourselves in his hands.  A smart idea!

We started with oysters,


then moved on to a crudo,

before tucking in to a plate that had tuna in multiple cuts and styles. 

An assortment of sashimi followed,

then a Chicago roll. 

There as an avocado roll in there, and then Jack finished with a plate of amaebi and uni, the latter of which Marie had never tried before. 

Happily, she liked it muchly!  Jack's wife Joy brought out a little coconut dessert for us. 

We gave them a bottle of wine from Epoch, and they gifted us with some nice sake.

We came home, sipped a bit more wine, and would down an enjoyable first night of Marie's visit.
