Dining for a Cause at RA

RA SUSHI'S 7TH ANNUAL NICKY'S WEEK

Join us for RA Sushi's 7th annual Nicky's Week fundraiser held Sunday, May 29 through Saturday, June 4 to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®, the nation's top children's cancer research center.

RA Sushi will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of a variety of menu items and beverages to St. Jude to help support the hospital's lifesaving mission.

The special Nicky's Week menu includes: Edamame, Tootsy Maki, Shrimp Nigiri, Pork Gyoza, Tuna Tataki, Chicken Yakitori and select beverages.

Nicky's Week was developed in memory of St. Jude patient Nicholas "Nicky" Mailliard, who lost a long battle with brain cancer in February 2005 at the young age of 13. A nephew of one of RA Sushi's founders, Nicky held a special place in the hearts of RA Sushi associates throughout the organization.

Since 2005, Nicky's Week has raised more than $700,000 for the hospital and we hope to reach our $125,000 goal this year!

Gourmet Camping

The Sig-O recently convinced me to go camping. I hadn't been since 8th grade, which, let's face it, was a traumatic experience. $1.50 for a pay shower that you're quickly rushed in an out of so the other 60 girls can shower, combined with shoving 3 people in 1 tent, sleeping on the ground, crappy food, etc., you can see why I was in no rush to go camping again. But, alas, the Sig-O somehow convinced me that I should go out there too. So I did, for one night, my way. I took great steaks and sides, fresh ice (because not fresh ice is just water), and screw cap wine (we were roughing it). Sig-O's goal was accomplished b/c my review was, "well, I didn't hate it." Didn't like it, but didn't hate it. And will probably get convinced to do it again, which brings me to today's deal: A portable campfire rotissere. Yep, I'm all over this one.

AND, you can get it for only $35 today. Here's the link: http://yipit.com/nation/private-skinner/35-for-the-grizzly-spit-portable-campfire-rotisserie/frame/

Because I consider roughing it to involve good screw cap wine and a fresh rotisserie chicken or wild boar you caught and killed all by yourself.
