Sushi and Ice Cream

Last night I got a surprise from Danny telling me that he was off and wanted sushi. You don't have to mention sushi twice to get me craving some! He also said he didn't want to go far so I suggested Akira which is like 15 minutes away.

I love their 80's logo on their mugs!

This is us trying to cut back! My roll was the bottom left. It was called Cloud 9 and had mango, sour cream and shrimp! Yum!

The server at Akira gave us a "secret gift" card where we would have to bring back unopened and could be worth $10, $15, $20, $50 or $75. Danny and I thought that was a nice touch even though the suspense is killing Danny as to what amount it is. We said even if it is the lowest amount, $10, that's still not a bad deal. That covers two small rolls!

I also have been reading quite a bit about a new ice cream at Mitchell's Ice Cream. It's an ice cream made with the popular Great Lakes Brewery Christmas Ale, called Christmas Ale Ginger Snap. I guess the ice cream is made from residual from the end of bottling runs of Christmas Ale. Since that was across the street we headed there as well. The first two bites tasted like beer and then the rest tasted like gingerbread. Which isn't a bad thing!

Danny got Key Lime pie flavored ice cream which he had before and remembered it being good.

Then we had to crank the heat up because we were cold from the ice cream but it was worth it! I love impromptu nights like that! How did Christmas come up so fast this weekend? So crazy!
