My company and sports

So I've been at my company for nearly 6 years (1/31/2001).

Since that date, the Yankees have not won a World Series. Booo!
Since that date, I have not lost an SOS Championship (fantasy baseball).

Since it's obvious that there's no correlation between SOS domination and my company, I may have to do something to help the Yankees win a Championship next year. Heh (no plans yet)

Japanese Restaurant Salad Dressing

My latest quest (besides the digital camera) is to figure out what the salad dressing at Japanese Restaurants is. Not the ginger one that's usually orange and tangy and maybe even translucent. Instead, I'm thinking of the one that is very light in color. Almost off-white...possibly a tan color, that tastes almost peanut buttery.

Can anyone help me figure this out? I believe I have tasted this sauce at Sendo Sushi on First and Tasman. It's not at Kamei Restaurant on Castro. And I can't remember if Miyakes uses this sauce or not.

I went to Ranch 99 today and the closest I came was a Sesame Salad Dressing...but it had precipitate in it as there was definitely an liquid layer underneath the more precipitate-ish layer. I also saw Miso dressing. But no Peanut Buttery dressing.

Thanks for any help!

100% Natural...Soda?

On the 7-Up cans they now have the slogan: "Now 100% Natural"

How is soda "natural?

They're probably just talking about the miniscule amount of lime and lemon flavoring that they put in, but still...

Also of note, this soda "Contains no Juice".
