Yo, Yumi, tell 'em 'bout that time ya mama tried to teach me sushi makin'!
Stranger
I was surprised at how mellow the aftertaste was for such a pungent flavor. The spiciness of the roll was balanced by the creaminess of the avocado. It was really well put together, and it had a pleasant sweetness to it. It reminded me of trying different types of Japanese desserts for the first time. Very tasty!

So we took it as a sign to give our marriage counseling show a try. And guess what? It worked wonders for us!
Stranger
This is amazing! If this continues for the entire week, my expectations will be blown away. For tonight’s episode, let’s hear a story from viewers. One viewer wrote that they have dated someone from a different culture before but kept it a secret due to fear of their family disapproving. Do any of you have similar experiences?
Malik and Yumi

Oh man, I gotta share this one! So, my wife Yumi's from Japan, right? Well, we were dating, and I took her to my hometown in Texas for Christmas.
Stranger
How did it go?

chuckles Well, let's just say that Yumi had never seen snow before, and she thought it was raining frogs!
Stranger

Malik and Yumi

Stranger
Now, I think it’s time to address the elephant in the room. Some may wonder if raising children from different cultural backgrounds might be a challenge. As we saw with the avocado roll example, culture shouldn’t dictate what we try or what we’re capable of.

There once was a cook who decided to combine sushi with traditional Tex-Mex flavors. And thus, the California Roll was invented. Since then, there has been a blending of Asian flavors with Mexican and American flavors that has led to the creation of various fusion cuisine.

suddenly gets an idea and turns towards the camera Wait a minute… I just got an idea for an upcoming episode! What if we invite a multicultural couple where both partners are from the same continent, like Africa or South America? I bet that would make for a very interesting discussion! What do you guys think?
Malik and Yumi
