The Yixia Roll


Wasabi is mashed Japanese horseradish. It adds a powerful spice when mixed with sushi. It's also the perfect condiment to all seafood...really, all seafood. I've seen wasabi chips, wasabi seaweed, and even wasabi filet-o-fish at an Asian McDonald's. But I digress. I hope my future blog posts will be similar to the effect of wasabi: powerful, yet meaningful. Wasabi also often clears a stuffy nose, and I want my thoughts to be just as refreshing.

 
Of course, wasabi can’t work its charm without some sushi. If I was a sushi roll, it would be called The Yixia Roll. Yes, I know, not very creative, but it’s all about the content. A sushi roll is meticulously made- the ingredients carefully thought out to create the perfect combination. All that rolled into the complimentary rice and seaweed. Likewise, my blog will strive to include an eclectic mix of ideas, a mix that may change as I grow, but will always be diverse. The rice and seaweed can group my thoughts into a hopefully coherent manner so that I will always be understood.

 
It may be odd as to why I chose sushi and wasabi to represent my blog. The simple answer is that they are both things that I like that also happen to complement each other. Choosing a salad bowl would be a bit cliché and choosing a melting pot would make me a conformist. I want my ideas to be fresh and organized, yet provide some spice. J
