Aloha

Kerry, my husband, is working in Honolulu on the transit system. I am fortunate to get to go with him from time to time. While it is hard to be apart so much the time we have together is pretty special. We have several places that we like to visit when we are here.

Just wanted to share some of our favorite places to eat.
This is Sweet and Sour Chicken from On Dong a quiet little Chinese Place on King Street.

This is Garlic Shrimp from the Blue Water Shrimp Company. It is literally from a bus on Kuhio a block away from Waikiki. The sauce is so good I use all of it on the rice, but medium is as hot as I dare get it.
On the North Shore of Oahu we found a little place called Rosie's Cantina and were very sad that it is scheduled to close. After years they have lost their lease and so they are closing up for good. Kerry got his favorite Chile Verde (this batch was particularly good.)

My favorite are the Chicken Tamales. Few places make tamales very well and so I love these. I also love the salsa they make. Just wish I could get some of their recipes before they close.
(Thanks to Carol a friend who taught me to appreciate really good tamales.)

We keep saying that we need to try other places for dinner but it seems we keep going back for the good stuff.

Kerry has found a place that has a kitchen in it and so he is busy coming up with recipes of his own. What a treat!
