A couple weeks ago we were able to go to one of my favorite restaurants for dinner, Hiroshi Eurasion Tapas! I love this place, the sauces are so good, I’ve always enjoyed every appetizer, entree, and dessert that I’ve had here. First up were two things to start off with. In the top photo is [...]

Kaneohe Farmer’s Market

Lori — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 09:35:58 +0000

Just recently we checked out the Kaneohe Farmer’s Market for the first time. The one we go to most often is Kailua, though my favorite is the KCC Farmer’s Market. It’s just that it’s really hard to get me up early on a Saturday morning for that one. The Kaneohe farmer’s market is on Wednesdays [...]

Hey guys and gals! For anyone wondering where I’ve been lately, it has to do with a new job last year and also working on another site called JapanDish.com. First I moved over my Japan related travel photos from this site and now I’m starting to add new posts from more recent trips. But don’t [...]

Kailua Farmer’s Market

For the past couple of months we’ve been going to the Kailua Farmer’s Market on Thursday afternoons. I love the KCC Farmer’s Market…it’s just that it’s really hard for me to wake up early on Saturdays! So this Kailua one is perfect. Lots of ono food, and at the very comfortable hour of 5:00 pm.

Miyako Restaurant, Honolulu

I wanted to take my dad someplace special for his birthday the other week and after thinking about it for a while, decided on Miyako Restaurant in Waikiki! This is the same place that we went to for our 5th wedding anniversary last year. But this time I made sure to get seating out on [...]

IKURA!

Lori — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:45:07 +0000

Any other ikura fans out there? I want to say “thanks!” to my mom’s friend who gave me the big container of ikura you see below. With it, I made myself a nice little ikura don with choy sum for dinner. Funny thing, I never liked ikura growing up. It actually really grossed me out. [...]

Noboru Japanese Restaurant, Kailua

Lori — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 03:30:10 +0000

After going to watch a concert on the Windward side a while back, we went with my mom for a drive around Kailua looking for a restaurant that was still open for a late lunch. Craving Japanese food we decided on Noboru near Down to Earth in Kailua. Since it was after the time that [...]

Vegetarian Burritos

Lori — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 12:17:01 +0000

After my experience making vegetarian tacos, I wanted to try veggie burritos next! For this one instead of making my own tortillas I used flaxseed wraps that I found at Costco. For the filling I used these refried beans that are SO GOOD! I used the Amy’s Vegetarian Organic Refried Beans with Green Chiles. The [...]

Okinawan Festival 2009

Lori — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 20:12:07 +0000

Since my mom had bought some Okinawan Festival scripts from a friend, we headed on down to Kapiolani Park yesterday to help her spend it! We browsed through an arts and craft tent, a country store, and another tent selling orchid plants. My mom picked up a really pretty orchid that will look great once [...]

Vegetarian Tacos

Tried to make some vegetarian tacos a while back. I was pretty motivated so I even made my own homemade tortillas! For the meat substitute I cut up a boca burger into little pieces and cooked it with some taco seasoning. Added some veggies and salsa and had a quick little dinner! Vegetarian Tacos

Down to Earth Hawaii – Vegetarian Eats

Lori — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 06:26:34 +0000

Finding vegetarian places to eat out here in Hawaii isn’t always easy. But we’ve found Down to Earth to be a great place to pick up lunch while grocery shopping! On this day we had a couple burgers and a bowl of chili. Everything was delicious! And the really good part is now that Circuit [...]

Trying Out Steel Cut Oatmeal

Lori — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:07:36 +0000

A month ago we made a switch from morning cereal to oatmeal. You’ve probably seen the commercials of those people saying their cholesterol went down so many points after eating oatmeal every morning for a month. We thought, it couldn’t hurt to give it a try. Anyways, I was never really much of a cold [...]
