Enjoyed a very nice business lunch at Olivine at the Waldorf Grand Wailea in Maui.

This is one of my favorite resorts in Hawaii and I love to bring customers and out of town guests here.  Lunch at Olivine was excellent.  Really enjoyed the Roasted Beet Salad which had big pieces of super fresh beets and a lot of Arugula.  Wish the salad had a better assortment of greens that were not so bitter.  Pizza was good and so was the service.

Enjoyed an early dinner at the Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki.  What a beautiful place to enjoy a glass of vino and some good food.  Started with a nice crisp chardonney with some Ahi Tataki.  Next up was the Roasted Beet Salad.  Loved the Beets and Veggies but not a fan of the lettuce they use.  The Hamachi Kama was pretty good but not great.  Service was excellent.

DINNER AT HOME

Always love staying home on Valentines Day. If you ask me, this is the worst day of the year to go out for dinner.  We like to stay home and enjoy our family and some good food.  My daughter requested a Pappardelle Pasta dish that we all love.  This dish is a far cry from one of the best pasta dishes I have ever eaten at Mario Batali's restaurant Babbo in New York, but it does deliver big flavor.   It is simply Mushrooms, Butter, Sage, Lemon Juice, Salt and Pepper.  We use meaty Hamakua Mushrooms from The Big Island of Hawaii.  I kicked up the dinner with an appetizer of Foie Gras served with toasted bread and sautéed Apples.  Served a small Roasted Beet Salad with Pistachios and Balsamic Dressing.  Ended the dinner with Chocolate Cupcakes from Cake Couture.  My little "X" broke on the ride home but the cupcakes were delicious.  So lucky to have two beautiful Valentines that I love with all of my heart.
