Scallop and crispy salmon skin.

Stuffing with gravy, best part of traditional Thanksgiving meal. 🙂

Fruit, Prime Rib Slice with Horseradish

No pumpkin pie on the line. That’s okay too. 🙂

The breaded oysters were the highpoint of the meal. Hee hee

Be safe, eat good.

Breakfast for Dinner

One of the neighborhood take-outs offers breakfast plate all day. The Mouse loves breakfast for dinner. Not so much the sweet stuff (waffles, pancakes). But the savory? Mmm.

Corned Beef Hash, Eggs, Rice

So, The Mouse used to mix everything up into a mess. This time The Mouse kept it neat. Condiment ketchup on the hash, lime ponzu on the eggs. Nom!

The Mouse saw brisket and tendon braised Chinese style on the menu at a take-out place, but the street was tow-away during commuting hours. With luck, The Mouse may try today.

Stay safe and well.

Unwrapped

The goose dinner from Chef H unwrapped.

Goose Dinner

Chestnuts, apples, green beans, oh my! 20 minutes in the toaster oven, delicious!

And another unwrapping. One of The Mouse’s gifts.

Petty Knife with Saya

The Mouse particularly wanted this petty knife because of the included saya cover. He already has a santoku from the same line. Yay!

How did your holiday fare (if you were so lucky)?

Enjoy. Eat well.

First in Line :)

Impromptu buffet dinner. Kuhio Beach Grill. The Cat wanted a staycation during the Thanksgiving weekend, that’s why the posts of Waikiki eating. Now you know. Since we were in the hotel, try try. Early bird discount. The Cat used to scoff at early bird discounts (only for senior citizens), now that we are close to senior citizenship? Good deal. Hee hee.

Smoked Salmon

Smoked Fish

Miso Eggplant and Other Veggies

The Mouse nommed.

Roasted Kabocha Squash

Well roasted, there was a spicy seasoning The Mouse was not keen about, but texture was spot on.

Fish Taco

Not bad, fish kinda soggy, maybe fried would’ve been better?

Roast Beef

Price was kinda middle of the road, discount made it even better, not gourmet, but decent buffet food. Fairly priced Weekday deals even better.

The Cat and The Mouse will make excuse to get here during weekday. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.

Eating Out of Order

The Mouse frequently does it, The Cat has fits. Hee hee.

Yesterday’s eating log.

Breakfast

Kalua pork and cabbage over rice. Could be lunch or dinner, The Mouse decided for breakfast 🙂

Lunch

Nico’s at Pier 38, supervisor treated the group.

Furikake Pan Seared Ahi: Fresh tuna Ahi steak coated with Japanese dried seaweed and sesame seeds then cooked to order, from rare to well done. Served with Nico’s ginger garlic cilantro dip.

Okay, this could be lunch, but The Mouse thinks more dinner.

Dinner got a little complicated. The Mouse was jonesing for bakery stuff. Dinner rolls.

First stop Zippy’s. No dinner rolls, but The Mouse was enticed with some of their offerings.

In the Box

Bread pudding, cornbread, pumpkin coffee cake, pumpkin donut (baked not fried), and a mochizada? Mochi flour made into a malasada-like pastry. Much less oil than a regular malasada (at least the ones from Leonard’s anyway), much denser. not bad. Buy again? Maybe.

A visit to old school institution on this side of the island.

Front Door

Cash only, no checks, no credit/debit cards. Old school.

A package of dinner rolls.

Package

No individual, had to buy a dozen.

Must say though these are the bomb! Just buttery enough, soft, not soggy, probably not health food, but comfort food. Thumbs up, socks off.

Dinner Rolls

Also had a bowl of oatmeal, to make-up for breakfast. Hee hee.

Now, what to do with the rest of the package, hmm, maybe SPAM sliders or breakfast sliders. Nom!

Enjoy. Eat well.
