AIR FRYER BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

DINNER AT HOME

Love Air Fryer Chicken Wings.  I start by marinating my Wings with Flavor God Hot Wings, Garlic Lovers and Ghost Pepper Seasonings along with some Franks Hot Sauce Seasoning.  Spray them with a little Canola Oil and put in Air Fryer at 380 degrees for 30 minutes.

Turn the Wings after 15 minutes.  Melt a stick of butter and mix well with Franks Hot Sauce.  Pour over Wings and mix them up to coat all sides of chicken.  Crispy, moist in the middle and a little spicy!

CHICKEN SALAD

DINNER AT HOME

I had to use up what was left of a Rotisserie Chicken.  Made this delicious Chicken Salad using my "go to" recipe.  This was so good that I took some to work for lunch the next day.

Loved this Carne Asada Burrito that I enjoyed at the office.  Ordered it with no Rice or Beans to reduce the carbs and cut it down the middle so I did not have to eat the Tortilla.  Low carb Burrito that was delicious, filling and satisfying.

SHRIMP TEMPURA TACOS

DINNER AT HOME

These simple to make Shrimp Tempura Tacos have become one of our favorite all time meals. They are the In N' Out of Tacos because you can taste every layer of flavor.  We use A La Madre low carb Tortillas to reduce the carbs.

CORNISH GAME HEN

DINNER AT HOME

My Wife marinates Cornish Game Hens overnight and then cooks them in the Air Fryer until they are golden brown and still super moist in the middle.  They come out perfect every time.  Served with a Caesar Salad.  Yummy!

To say we were disappointed by M by Jeremy Shigekane would be an understatement.  At $130 per person this place is not cheap and you would expect more on flavor and service.  Our waiter sweated profusely and did not properly set the utensils on the table.  For example he forgot the knife for the beef course and brought it out for the dessert course.  The highlight of the meal was the Old World wine pairing which was about $55 per person.  The Wine sommelier.  He explained each wine with care and they were all good.  The food however missed the mark with some overpowering sauces like Pesto and a Olive Tempanade served with Lamb.  We thought the food needed more seasoning and was pretty bland.  The Mashed Potatoes needed salt and pepper.  The Mashed Potatoes at Jollibee are better.  The Lamb was good but we wanted more bites.  The A5 Wagyu needed a bit more seasoning but was good.  Again we wanted more than a few small bites.  The dessert was not satisfying at all.  Total disappointment for the money.  We walked out and right across the street was Jack in the Box. We wanted to go eat there because we were still hungry and not satisfied.  Really bummed to give this review because I wanted so badly to have a great dinner here.

I can say that Hale Vietnam is probably our favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Honolulu.  Food is consistently good here and service is always decent.  We love the BBQ Beef Wraps which I eat with lettuce and my Wife eats with the rice paper.  Seasoned Beef with Onions, Vegetables served with crisp Lettuce, Daikon, Carrots, Cucumber, Mint, Cilantro and Basil. Wrapped it all up and you have an incredible lunch or dinner.  On this visit we enjoyed the Beef along with the Spring Rolls which are the best.  Entire family loves this meal.

UNITED AIRLINES CHICAGO TO HONOLULU

Amazing when you fly First Class on United and the service and food sucks.  It is as if they just don't give a shit.  It is the exact opposite when you fly an Asian or European airline where they understand customer service and take care of their customers instead of sitting in the galley eating and talking.  I went over three hours without being asked if I wanted water or a drink.  When I finally stopped the Flight Attendant to ask for water she abruptly asked me to wait.  Never once did they offer to refill any of my drinks.  The choice for dinner entrees were Cold Noodles or a Burger.  Breakfast of Egg Whites and Sausage was not bad.

Needed to be close to the Raleigh Durham airport for a very early morning flight so I stayed at the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club once again.  Just love this little hotel that sits on the Duke University campus and golf course.  Enjoyed sitting on the back deck and watching golfers finish the 18th hole while eating appetizers and drinking a glass of wine.  After we went inside by the fire and had a light dinner.
