Stop!

A Little Piece of Heaven on Earth (in Honolulu)

Post-surf lunch on Sunday - 1/2 pound Avocado Burger with large fries at Kua Aina in Ward Village. This place has character and incredible food (but wait until I go to eat at the one in Haleiwa - original character and the best out of all the Kua Ainas - maybe it has the oldest, most seasoned equipment to cook the food - who knows - all I know is the food is so good up there - this place is Ni-ban). When we were stationed in Japan, we lived pretty close to this beach (Miura). And the Kua Aina we frequented was in Kamakura. Pizza La wasn't bad, but there were some really good sit-down pizza places near our house. I just like saying "Pizza La" because La would roll her pretty eyes (ironic that she isn't a big fan of pizza - and almost everywhere you looked there was a Pizza La delivery car running around). The best burger in the universe if you ask me!!!!

Woodcraft Honolulu

Found some cool stuff at the Woodcraft shop in Kalihi. Teak from the USS North Carolina (the WWII Battleship) A table saw that has sensors to drop the blade if the conductivity of the system changes (like a finger getting in cutting range. Cool place if you like working with wood.

Tamashiro's

First stop on the window shopping run (rainy Saturday...) - Tamashiro's Seafood Market Abalone (sushi sized - and still alive) Lots of limu Ahi - and not just any ahi - several different grades and cuts And if you sell limu and ahi, it's only natural that you sell poke If you're hungry - stop into this place and get some ono grinds!!!
