Papa was always willing to try new things. He was hesitant, but with a little convincing he would go for it. I remember we had a family dinner at Sushi Sam one night they brought out some sushi for the family as well as the hot food papa ordered. He was preparing his steak and took a big glob of wasabi and smeared it all over his bite thinking it was guacamole. It wasn’t. His face turned bright red and he didn’t even know what hit him. I think he took down a gallon of water within a few seconds. In the moment, we were concerned but we had a good laugh about it and I think of it every time we eat sushi now.
