When should I get there? :) Great tip about the vanilla paste or buying beans at Costco. I'm definitely going to try that! <strong>Lan</strong>: I know. I'm not sure how I managed to avoid mushrooms until now, but here's how we met. I ordered pumpkin soup (irony) a few weeks ago at this French restaurant we were celebrating a birthday at. The soup was amazing. Then, at the bottom, there were a few little bits of something. A nut? Crumbled cookies? I ate them and though: Hmmn, gummy, kind of weird. THEN I asked someone next to me. Mushrooms. Not thrilled. <strong>Jesse</strong>: Another vote for soup, and I'm developing a craving! :) Thanks for agreeing with me on mushrooms, BTW. <strong>Jacqui</strong>: OK, OK! Maybe I can do that. Tempura rolls sound innocent. But don't tell me what they are. I'll just be surprised. I'm going to try that. <strong>Becky</strong>: Thanks for being a good sport. Looks like I'm officially in for sushi--or tempura rolls to begin. When should we go? Where? (And the pumpkin is coming! Don't you worry!) My First Kitchen: Deal!

I feel so ... violated. :) Do you like how this whole post has become about sushi? I think we should go get some. It doesn't sound like pumpkin is near as wonderful as you make it sound. Maybe I'll stick with my single edamame pod. Wow. I feel so … violated. :)
