Cait set up a Orenchi Birthday dinner for me, thanks Cait. We had to get there early as the line starts before they even open. Needless to say the ramen was superb. Rick & Jen had some good news for us as well.

Friday Night Sushi
After pruning the tree in the backyard I was in no mood to cook so that always means a trip to our local Angel Fish.
Day off
Took today off and promised myself I would go out and shoot some photos. After I walked Sandy to the ferry, I shot a few by the water. I wasn’t in the right position for the morning sun with regards to the rowers.

Loco Fire
Our oven died just before Christmas and we finally got our replacement installed yesterday. The first meal to break it in… Loco Moco with a shitake mushroom gravy. I was trying to recreate the breakfast I had at the Hula Grill the other day. I did substitute turkey for beef though.
Honolulu Feb 2012
Another 24hr trip. Just work and no play. I did have a nice dinner at Japengo in the Hyatt. Loco Moco at the Hula Grill was pretty good as well. The Shitake Mushroom Gravy is what made it so yummy.
