Loved lunch at the 604 Clubhouse at Leilehua Golf Course.  While I did not golf, I did enjoy the food here.  Loved the Ahi Club Sandwich which was one of the best on Oahu.  Large piece of perfectly cooked fresh Ahi with Lettuce, Tomato, Onion and Bacon on a delicious buttered bun.  Also liked the Ahi Tataki and Calamari with Peppers.  The Peppers in the Calamari made this better than most places and the only thing I would change is the dipping sauce.  Think it was just mayonnaise.  I actually poured Tabasco on my plate and dipped the Calamari in it. Good service too so I definitely will come back.

TACO BELL CRUNCHY BEEF TACO

SOMEWHERE ON OAHU

I am a total fan of the order kiosks at Taco Bell.  They are fast, easy to use and allow you to customize your order in seconds.  I purchased a Crunchy Beef Taco with extra lettuce, cheese and onions in seconds.  Paid with a swipe of the credit card and had my food in minutes.  No more talking to a person who does not understand your request, enters it incorrectly or gets it wrong.  The future of fast food is kiosk ordering and next the robots will make the food.

SPICY RIGATONI ALLA VODKA

DINNER AT HOME

This recipe is now a family favorite.  I don't use measurements and just wing it with the ingredients.  Have made this twice and it is far better than most restaurants.  Totally restaurant worthy in the comfort of home.  Love it!

SPICY RIGATONI ALLA VODKA

INGREDIENTS FOR SPICY RIGATONI ALLA VODKA

OLIVE OIL

SAUTE ONE ONION AND GARLIC.  ADD CRUSHED RED PEPPER IF DESIRED

ADD CALABRIAN CHILIS  (I ALSO ADD CALABRIAN TAPENADE))

TOMATO PASTE AND A BIT OF SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE

ADD 1-2 SHOTS OF VODKA AND LIGHT ON FIRE TO BURN OFF THE ALCOHOL

STAY CLEAR OF FLAME AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH CEILING HEIGHT
AS FLAME WILL BE HIGH.  DON'T DO THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CLEAR AND CLEAN AREA, RANGE HOOD AND SAFETY PLAN

ADD HEAVY CREAM AND PECORINO CHEESE.   STIR.  ALSO ADDED SOME BUTTER.
SOME RECIPES CALL FOR A LITTLE SUGAR TOO.  ADD PASTA WATER TO GET THE CONSISTENCY YOU LIKE.  WE LIKE THE SAUCE A BIT THICK AND NOT WATERY.

MIX WITH COOKED PASTA.  STIR WELL UNTIL PASTA IS COATED

TOP WITH MORE PECORINO CHEESE AND BASIL

SERVED WITH CAPRESE BRUSCHETTA

APPETIZER AT HOME

This appetizer was super delicious and a perfect pairing with my Rigatoni Alla Vodka.

Toasted bread with Garlic, Butter and Parmesan topped with a mixture of Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato, Basil and Balsamic Glaze.  Tasted like Tuscany!  The perfect appetizer.

Ordered the Rib and Brisket Combo at Tex 808.  Liked the Cole Slaw but the BBQ really didn't hit the spot for me.  Ribs a bit dry and really needed some BBQ Sauce.  Brisket was moist but lacked flavor.  They only gave a small amount of BBQ Sauce with this takeout order and it was not enough.  This place seems to be successful so don't take my recommendation and maybe try it for yourself.

BREAKFAST AT HOME

I don't eat breakfast during the week as I am off to the office by 3:30am.  Rarely eat breakfast on weekends too, but I was hungry today and looked into the refrigerator.  Had all the ingredients for a classic Hawaii breakfast.

Enjoyed dinner at The Blue Fish Waikiki.  Liked sitting outside overlooking Waikiki Beach Walk.  Service and food were good.  Loved the Ahi Tower with assorted Caviar.  The Sushi Rolls were pretty basic and did not blow us away with flavor.  The Kobe Sizzler allowed us to cook the beef at the table.  I kept it medium rare.  Delicious.  The Lobster Bites were good but there is so much breading that you really don't get the true flavor of the Lobster.  Tough to say whether I would come back here again.  Perhaps I need to visit one more time to try a few more dishes.

Crazy but true.  I have not golfed in two years.  This was my first time out in such a long time and I have a torn bicep.  The Reflections restaurant at Hoakalei was closed for a private event so we ended up at the pool bar for lunch.  The kitchen was not open yet so we had three options; Spam Musubi, Sandwich or a Hot Dog.  I went for the Dog and loved it.  My golf game was not that bad considering my lengthy lay off and injury.
