So today, I was in Kroger, and decided to try their "made hourly by a guy who looks Japanese and has the accent" sushi.

I was bold, I got toro and salmon.

It's a lot more bland than I was expecting it to be. Perhaps because it was premade and tossed in a fridge-y sort of thing.

It was a bit expensive, so I ate half of it, and I'm saving the other half for later. I got six large pieces, so it wasn't that bad, I guess. We *are* six hours from the nearest coastline... This all makes sense now.

The wasabi and ginger were quite tasty, and the sushi was better after adding some soy, but it was still bland by itself. :/

I can't say I was feeling the texture of the fish, either.

At least it didn't smell fishy, that's good. Means I won't fall ill... :p

They had eel and toro, but I wasn't feeling that adventurous.

I saved half of it, I'll possibly eat it later tonight, or tomorrow. Fish is good for your brain.

So on top of that, I was out shopping, and I saw the fabled enviga. Carbonated green tea?

Sounds iffy.

But, for the sake of being myself and trying new things, I decided to drop a dollar on it. Hey, I was already spending eight dollars on sushi, why not a dollar on sparkling green tea?

Green tea is tasty. Nestea/Lipton bottle green teas are not. Enviga... is weird. It's too sweet. :/ I guess, if I think about it, it almost reminds me of the day I had green tea mousse Pocky. That wasn't that tasty. :/

They also have "caffeine" listed as an ingredient. Why are you going to add caffeine... wait, n/m. It's supposed to help burn calories.

It's not bad, but I don't think I'll be buying it again. Maybe I'll try the peach one, because I like peachy things, but I'll stick with plain green tea, or either the awesome stuff by Ito En.

Supposedly, drinking 3 cans of this stuff a day is supposed to help you burn up to an extra 100 calories a day.

I could NOT drink that much. :/ Too much carbonation, too much caffeine... at least it doesn't have HFCS. I'll give it that.

I'll stick to drinking my water. Seriously.

Speaking of HFCS, I found yogurt that doesn't have CRAP in it! They've made good ol' yogurt like I used to eat when I was little... I can't wait to try it.

*burp*

WOW...that sushi was ridiculously expensive!

I was looking at enviga at the store an hour or so ago and they had it 10/$10 (normally $1.49) but passed it up for now. I like the idea of antioxidants in green tea but the drink seemed stupid to me haha 3 cans = 100 calories? JESUS. You can burn 450/hour rollerblading! Forget it. I'll stick poisoned water from our towns supply thank-you-very-much!

Bubbly Green Tea
Yuck. That sounds wrong soooo wrong...

I personally myself am an addict to green tea but I brew it myself.

A little Honey a Squeeze of Lemon...

I'm good :-D

I love Kroger sometimes.

I'm enjoying your blogs.

Having too much caffiene just kills the energy boost it can sometimes give you....
