AACC Field Trip

Tim scored some tickets to a Diamondbacks game and was kind enough to treat the "Club" to an evening at the diamond. However, because we are a cooking club, we had to do something on the trip related to cooking so we went to sushi prior to the game.

This is Tim's new find and he patrons the establishment, at least, twice a week. It is obvious he is there a lot because the hostess definitely loves her some Tim. It is called Makado and it is located in Chandler. We were there early so it was pretty quite, but sitting at the sushi bar with us was Nick Eason, who plays defensive end for the Cardinals. I really had no idea who the hell he was until I asked his name. I mean, it was obvious he was a football player because he was huge. He was more then huge.....a giant, really. So I had to take a picture with him (totally embarrassing AJ, but whatevs).

Anyway, the sushi was delicious and the happy hour prices are a steal. AJ and I filled up pretty quickly and towards the end of our sushi extravaganza Tim ordered 4 pieces of Uni. Uni, for those of you who do not know is basically sea urchin. He tells me I am going to try it and I tell him there is no way. As much as I love sushi, I also know that I still have a texture issue with some seafood and I have to imagine this will fall into that category.

He won't leave me alone. AJ tries it. Swallows a quarter of the piece and quickly sucks down the remainder of his beer. So I try and just as I figured, it totally grosses me out and I spit it out into a napkin (while gagging at the same time). You can laugh, I won't be offended. Uni is nasty and I cannot believe people eat this crap! Sick. Even as I sit here and write about it, I want to throw up. UGH!

Thankfully, I had enough beer to wash the taste out of my mouth and we decide to get the hell out of there before Tim get order anything else!

We had a great time at the game -- the seats were awesome and allowed us a very different perspective of the field, which I thoroughly enjoyed. We could not stay for the whole game because AJ had a fantasy draft to get home to, but they won the game. I credit their win to our attendance, of course. It was a great evening minus the Uni. Thank Timothy!
