AHI SASHIMI AND AVOCADO

APPETIZER AT HOME

When I shop at Foodland Farms in Aina Haina, I always check the Seafood Department for fresh Ahi.  Saw this very nice block for around $20 and grabbed it.  This was "wow" fresh and so silky and melt in your mouth delicious.

My fave light dinner is fresh Ahi Sashimi with Avocado.  When the fish is fresh and not treated with chemicals this is so good!

Back home from another trip and just had to have some fresh Ahi.  This is one of my favorite foods in all the world.

When you see an untreated fresh piece of Ahi like this, you just gotta grab it despite the high price of over $50 per pound.  This Sashimi was like butter and so delicious.  One of my fave light and satisfying meals.

Driving home from work on a Friday afternoon which is usually very happy because I am on the way to hang out with our dog.  Nowadays, there is no dog to come home to which breaks my heart.  Many tears are shed on the drive.  Decided to get off the freeway and head to Jersey Mikes to grab an Italian Sandwich.  While at the light I was crying and thinking about going home to the empty house.  Decided to take a left and head to The Kahala Hotel for lunch.  Wanted to sit at my happy place and just contemplate life and remember our dog who loved The Kahala.  She would sit under our table when we ate at the Plumeria Beach House or on the Veranda. I like the bar at Plumeria Beach House so I often order there and then sit at the tables outside.  My fave table has a great view of the pool and beach.  On this day I settled in with a glass of wine and just took in the view, breeze and serenity of The Kahala.  Ordered the Beach House Salad with Crab and Shrimp and was in heaven.  I ate slow and just took it all in while remembering how much our dog loved roaming the grounds here.  She would walk along the beach with us and then take time to smell every inch of the hedges and grass.  I was alone on this day but oh so happy and content.  Really no other place I would rather be.  My salad was disappearing and I was still hungry.  I asked the bartender if they could do a plate of Sashimi.  At first he said no, but then he said he would check with the kitchen as Sashimi is not on the menu.  He returned with a smile and said they would be happy to serve me Sashimi.  Sashimi arrived and again it was a heavenly moment.  I wanted to stay here into the night but my Wife didn't want to come down because of her memories of being with our dog here.  She said she would just cry being the entire time.  This was so calming and I savored every bit of the Sashimi and moment with my thoughts.  Really thinking that I should make this an every Friday thing and just might do it.

DINNER AT HOME

One of my all-time fave dinners is simply Sashimi and Avocado.  Blessed to live in Hawaii where we get a good supply of fresh Ahi Tuna.  Prices are sky high right now with this block costing almost $30.

MARUHA'S BAR HOKKAIDO - UENO, JAPAN

My gals finished their shopping in Ueno and picked me up where I was parked for several hours.  They wanted dinner before taking the rail back to our hotel.  We walked around and for some reason walked into this place which was completely filled with locals enjoying food, beer and cigarettes.  Most people in the restaurant were smoking but the filtration system was so good that you barely saw or smelled the smoke.  I ordered a cold beer because they did not offer wine and we began ordering which turned out to be some pretty great food.  We were the only tourists or non-Japanese people in the place and we felt comfortable as at home.  When each dish arrived we dug in and found everything to be delicious.  Sashimi was super fresh, the Mackerel was delicious and the Calamari with Vegetables was perfect.  After all the seafood we decided to order Yakiniku which didn't rate compared to the seafood.  Really liked this place and would definitely go back again.

My Wife's Birthday Dinner was worthy of an award.  An incredible array of appetizers plus entrees that included Sous Vide Tomahawk Ribeye, Alaskan King Crab Legs, Cornish Game Hens, Crab Cakes and of course my world famous Drew Burger Sliders.  Enjoyed with family, friends and a bit of bubbly and vino.  Does not get much better than this.
