PANCIT WITH CHICKEN, SHRIMP AND VEGETABLES

PANCIT WITH CHICKEN, SHRIMP AND VEGETABLES

DINNER AT HOME

Having a Filipino Mother in Law means being able to enjoy some delicious food from the Philippines on occasion.  One item she loves to make is Pancit which are noodles mixed with pretty much anything you have in the refrigerator.  This dish included Chicken, Shrimp and fresh Vegetables.

My Daughter devours Pancit and finished one plate and asked for more.

CHOCOLATE BANANA PIE

CHOCOLATE BANANA PIE

A FAMILY TRADITION

Makes me so happy to see my Daughter making this Chocolate Pie that my Grandma made for me when I was very young.  I used to love visiting Grandma and she always made this pie which made me so happy.  She made it with a bit of mint but my Daughter and Wife prefer adding bananas.  The recipe is simple with a pre-made Grahm Cracker Crust and Jello Pudding.  Simply add milk to the Pudding, Stir and pour into the crust.  Top with Bananas and place in freezer.  We like the pie frozen or very..very cold.  This is all time favorite of mine and I am confident my Daughter will pass the recipe on.

Love Waimanalo Beach and when being an Uber driver for my Daughter I decided to stop in to get us some ice cream on a beautiful Hawaii afternoon.  The place is kind of shabby but the ice cream is good.  I enjoyed Chocolate Mint of course while my Daughter went for Shave Ice and her friend went for Cookie Dough Ice Cream.  So I picked up my Daughter at the beach and the tab.

Since Mama Manoa closed and I cannot get the best Italian Sandwich in Hawaii, we had to settle for Jersey Mikes.  With a new location in Kahala, there is now a Jersey Mikes closer to home so I can enjoy more often.  First time I went to Kahala store the line was out the door so I went to McDonalds next door.  On this visit the line was long and it took about a half hour to get our sandwich.  The counter people apologized for the wait. I ordered the Regular Italian Sandwich $9.95 Mikes Way with Lettuce, Tomato, Onion and Oil/Vinegar.  Added extra Onions,  Jalapeños, Pickles and Peppers.  Actually split the sandwich with my Wife and we both liked it.  I was content with my half of the regular size but the Wife said she was still hungry.

LUNCH AT MY DESK

Ordered a Tuna Melt and bowl of Corn Chowder from a local business cafeteria call Webco.  First I was surprised how light the sandwich was.  Very thin and light but was pretty good flavor.   The Corn Chowder was really bland and pretty tasteless.  Not satisfying at all.  Would have liked the sandwich more if it had more Tuna in it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Blessed to spend a quiet evening at home celebrating another milestone Birthday in February.  

Having my Wife and Daughter, one of my favorite meals and my fave Ice Cream Cake from Baskin Robbins was just perfect.  Nowhere else I would rather be on my Birthday and with the people I love most.  I am so lucky and cherish each day.

29 AGAIN!

SENIOR LUAU

Blessed to have my Daughter attending the best school on the planet.  Iolani is a gem and a place we are all going to miss after graduation this June.  The environment, teachers, curriculum, high standards, ethics and students are amazing here.  No better place to send your Son or Daughter in my mind.  The years have passed so quickly and we found ourselves with all of the Senior students and their parents celebrating the Senior Luau.  The girls that we have watched grow up, get braces and be friends with Keli are now young woman who will soon go off to college.  Where has the time gone?

Loved riding ATV's through the private Kipu Ranch on Kauai.  Our tour guides were amazing and took time to make us comfortable on the ATV's prior to hitting the big dips, turns and mud.  Highly recommend this tour as it is fun, filled with great history and includes lunch and visits to at least three waterfalls and the Swinging Rope location used in the opening sequence of Indiana Jones.
