This being Mpact slack off week, I’ve experimented with going out and going home. Also got spiffy ride fixed as his water pump was broke.. Tried Doh sushi in cooper young with a russian princess (RP). I was most impressed with the boutique atmosphere of the place. The sushi had a great deal of variety, we tried some soft shell crab sushi with a corn pudding sauce. The tuna was dark and fatty. The strawberry infused sushi roll was also interesting. I found the rice a bit tightly backed. Overall, a cool place and the attempted variety is unusual for memphis sushi. 
RP was not overly impressed but thought it was okay. Given what I’ve seen of her so far I’m not sure RP is impressed with anything though, I’m not sure the hot summer has started to thaw her out. Her unimpressiveness tends more toward the blase and unimprssed though and lacks the panache and personality of the ice queen’s ice stare. Maybe the ice queen can give her lessons so RP can be an ice queen someday herself.

Went to trolley tour. Interesting premier of a preview of Daylightfades www.daylightfades.com , a locally produced either horror or macabre drama wasn’t sure, a memphis music foundation party where even on of the notoriously reclusive local circuit judges made an appearance, and the improving firedancer were all overshadowed by what everyone agreed was the key feature of this trolley tour it was really really hot.
Recovered later briefly at the Rumba Room.
Went to the young lawyer happy hour at encore. Encore has a line of spiffy non-alcoholic drinks such as fresh squeezed lemonaide and a really snappy peach soda.
At Republic tried a sample of a pecan walnut french toast. Said was really good, and was told not available for purchase yet. Without promising a review, I was spontaneously offered a free one provided I gave a detailed description which follows. It is a rich french toast, made with a flavorful homemade bread well infused but not overwhelmed with a cinnamon and covered with a caramelized nutty pecan raisin topping that was neither skimpy nor overwhelming. The only downside to potential mission accomplishment might be an excessively dry exterior, but it wasn’t a major detriment.
Look for it soon at Republic on the weekend brunch menu, in the future looked for stuffed pear and strawberry.
