...mention this? Jaded as we are, we still believe that there are some holidays that defy shoehorning into the Shoebox Greeting Card ethos. Much as we would like to see the paunchy padrones of the North End roll up the sleeves of their Kappa windsuits and go toe to toe with the yuppies of Tremont Street, we'll settle for any sort of remembrance of dear...
...large, indelicate bite versus the risky maneuver of massacring the piece of fish in the attempt to sever it. My sinuses have been singed clear as a bell by accidental over-indulgence in wasabi. I have even been so gauche as to try to remove the seaweed from one roll so as to taste it plain. However, the art of properly eating sushi extends far beyond overcoming these trifling blunders. For instance, as our chef explained, most people attempt to differentiate good from bad sushi by the quality of the fish, a distinction that can be misleading because most well...

A fat pink shrimp is split open to straddle a ball of rice, and a rather suspicious-looking orange mush in a seaweed packet...
Lamelle D. Rawlins '99, Stewart's predecessor as council president, said she had never been told of the balance's existence either, though she was aware that some term-bill roll-over from previous years existed...
