This was one of those Friday lunches for Rusty, Ken and I, but I had some left over, so I took some in and shared it with our favorite Sushi Chef, Henry, at Kansai in Clarksville Indiana. I took some to Henry because he had told me “Quit talking to me about your food and bring me some!” I did. I saw Henry yesterday, and he paid me a great compliment. He really liked the food!
The meal was all vegan, except for the stromboli, which had some cheese on it. I haven’t found any cheese that I find to be even close to real cheese, however, while writing this, I do recall that the mozarella style of rice cheese makes a great grilled cheese sandwich, so I’ll try that next time!
Here’s the salad for the meal. I ate it with the Perel Cuisine Fig Vinegar dressing. It is so delicious. Also, the salad I took Henry had this dressing on it.
This salad was simply some fresh spring mix with some peppadews, and snow pea sprouts. Those sprouts are delicious!
Here’s the pictures of the Mac and Misocheese:
This dish is actually from Susan V. at FatFreeVegan website. It is one of her daughter’s favorite foods. We loved it. Find the recipe here. I used whole wheat shells instead of regular elbow macaroni.
The vegetarian stromboli is my own creation, using the boca crumbles. You can find these in the freezer section at most grocery stores. Here are the pictures:
This was a wonderful meal. The flavors were a great combination and something I will make again and again.
Happy, Healthy Eating

Speaking of sushi, Kelly and I have found a great new sushi place on Bardstown road called Oishii Sushi. They are located at 2245 Bardstown Rd. in Louisville, 502-618-2829. They are open MO-TH: 11-2 & 5-10; F: 11-2 & 5-11; SA: 5-11 & SU: 5-9. It’s very small and crowded thanks to an article in Velocity (and we went during the week). For the first few months it was open; all the truly religious sushi fanatics in search of the best sushi had discovered it and kept it a secret. Velocity let the secret out of the bag so it gets pretty crowded now. Normally we prefer Sakura Blue and our favorite is Wasabi on 82nd in Indy. This surpasses by leaps and bounds Wasabi in Indy. It is by far the freshest sushi I have ever put in my mouth, it’s inventive/new twists on classics, and the rolls are huge. If it’s too crowded they do sushi to go and package it great. As we sat at the bar we marveled over the items that were being crafted for other patrons. I highly recommend their Crunch Munch, Hotai (scallop), Dragon Roll, and a few others that were delectable. Women talk about the joys of chocolate but this took the cake for me. They will definitely be seeing us again; we are planning sushi Mondays with Heather. By the way they only serve sushi, apps, salads, soups, and desserts; they don’t serve meals like chicken terriyaki.
I will definitely check this out. Maybe tomorrow for lunch!
Thanks for the heads up!
