The mysterious disappearing sushi
Remember how one of the Robs said, "Large. Elizabeth Large" when I explained I needed a good camera phone to take surreptitious photos of food? I forgot to tell you the rest of the Royal Farms sushi story. When I first discovered it, I didn't have my camera with me so I thought I would try to take a photo with my not-so-good camera phone. But I was nervous because I was practically the only person in the store, and the two clerks were watching me curiously. I snapped it while I was pretending to make a call and scooted out of there.
When I got in the car I took a quick look and saw it was a pretty terrible photo, so I forgot about it and planned to bring my camera in the next day. But next day there was just a blank space on the shelf where the sushi had been.
Not to worry, I said to myself. I still had proof. I had my camera phone photo.
Here's why I didn't post it when I uploaded it:

Large, Elizabeth Large, this is why you have a day job and the Sun has staff photographers.

On the up side, the apples look way more appetizing!

The apples look pretty good. Sometimes I want a cut up apple, but am too lazy to cut one up and I'll go for an "easier" fruit. Isn't that pathetic?

I just licked a picture of an apple. Still too many carbs.

OMGoulish, do the snozzberries taste like snozzberries?

Easy to see how you could confuse apple wedges with sashimi. Should I keep this in mind when reading your next review? I agree with Robert tso that you aren't quite a paparazzo.
I think it would be wise for me to at least look at my food if I'm not going to eat it.

Mr. Dave, please recognize tongue firmly in cheek versus an attack at the Lady Elizabeth's multitude of talents.
(LE or EL (you're the same coming or going) just send the payment to the usual place.)

Mr. Robert tso, it was tongue in cheek, and your inability to read this is curious, considering what you posted. I didn't interpret what you posted as meanspirited; it certainly could be taken as such. I've always been able to laugh at myself for this sort of thing, however, I suppose that is not generally the case. So apologies to Elizabeth Large and to you.
No apologies necessary. I understood how you meant it, and at the same time I'm delighted that RtSO was willing to come to my defense, because I sometimes take a beating here. I do worry sometimes about tone in these comments not getting across -- that's why I draw so many stupid smiley faces. In fact, looking at his last comment it was probably tongue in cheek.

My Royal Farm store had the sushi today, so I read the ingredients! Aaaaggghhh!!
Imitation crab; imitation food (fish)flavoring; and MAYONNAISE! These were the most horrendous, there were plenty of other ingredients too.
Yum...

Susan, did the label mention whether the mayonnaise was Hellmann's?
