Happy Sixth, Rain

Six years ago, a couple of sushi chefs, Takashi Ogasawara and Jennifer Douglass, decided to leave their day jobs at Wasabi Bistro in Belltown and open their own restaurant here in Wallingford.

It's been a lot of fun writing alongside my neighbors and, as the year passed, I've seen quite a few readers who join in our daily conversations. Many times I…
