I've tried sushi many different times and I find that I don't care for it.
I can take it or leave it. My daughter likes it so we go out for sushi once in a while.
I remember one time we were out for dinner, we were eating in the lounge so it was fairly dark. On my plate I saw a chunk of something green and thought it was avocado. I tossed the chunk in my mouth and started chewing. To my surprise it wasabi. To say it was a shock to the system is an understatement.
I knew where that story was going as soon as I saw "a chunk of something green".
Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.
At the very least.
Oof, I'm getting the frisons just thinking about that.
I've tried it once and that was more than enough.
In the past, I didn't like that kind of flavor. Wasabi, though, seems to be the exception.
I don't know what that is called. It isn't heat, exactly. Not the kind of heat you get from capsaicin, but a real sinus clearing kind of kick.
I only have it with sushi...or dried peas. Strange thing, that.
wes describing it as a "shock" is probably the best way to describe it.
I've electrocuted myself a number of times and I find that feeling you get after getting electrocuted is similar to tasting wasabi.
I mean... everybody needs a hobby.Quote:
I've electrocuted myself a number of times
The last time I electrocuted myself was after Hurricane Ida. When power was finally restored, we moved back by parking our camper in front of the house and plugging into a 15-amp outlet until we could get a 30-amp installed.
Well, apparently the 15-amp we were using was shorted during the hurricane, but it wasn't immediately obvious. First my son shocked himself trying to open the (metal) door to the camper but was too young to describe what happened (he would've been 5 almost 6), so we just assumed he had his finger pinched or something. Then, I stepped on the (metal) steps to get out of the camper barefoot and got shocked so bad that it literally knocked me on my butt.
Just describing it is giving me the frisons. I hope I never experience that again.
We had some trailers that could become charged. It wasn't noticeable stepping into the trailer from the ground, but you could get a mild shock if you stepped between trailers. I believe the trailers were becoming capacitors, though capacitors that didn't hold much of a charge.
The bigger issue was that there was a VERY long power cord for plugging the trailers into outlets at long distances. Some outlets were 220, while others were 480. Since those required different plugs, the cord had wiring for both. That meant that when it was plugged in, the current was running a long distance parallel to the unused wires...which induced a pretty good current in those other cables. Somebody eventually tested the voltage in the unused plugs and found that it was significantly higher than the 0 volts that had been assumed.
We just considered it a current event.
It never did spark us into action, though.
It makes sense when you describe it, though I doubt I would have thought to test the voltage. I would have been one of the doyos assuming it was 0.Quote:
