Unagi
My friend Dan from the International Crossroads Community once said to me, "Eel tastes like sunshine." I found this to be intriquing which meant, I just had to try eel. The first time I had it, I was with my Mom and her friend Annie at the Japanese restaurant in Coralville, IA.
And, Dan was not wrong. Eel tastes like sunshine. Its an apt description. It tastes like sunshine in that it is light and fresh and it makes you happy, like the first rays of sunshine or the first sunny day of Spring.
Because of this every time I have the opportunity to eat it, I do. Today I met my friend Georgia for lunch at a Japanese restaurant in Cardiff. A Japanese restaurant that serves sushi and had Unagi on the menu. I have to say that I have been in the best mood all day. I attribute this to having ingested sunshine.

You'll have to come visit so that we can go to the Japanese place and eat sunshine!
