My weekly views… Major props to my buddy who suggested a group of us try out Sakura Japanese Restaurant up in Sherwood. The sushi rolls proved to be a hit and an excellent value. Three rolls (six pieces each) cost $14–a pretty damn good deal for tasty eel, spicy scallops and spicy salmon rolls. Is
My weekly views… Guess what? My kids better get used to eating more Indian food from here on out, because daddy needs himself some samosas at least once a month.
