We all enjoyed The Magical Mystery Show in Waikiki.  Nice to get out and see some live entertainment and laugh again.  Loved the intimate venue at the Hilton Waikiki with sofa and lounge seating.  The waitress kept my wine glass full during the show and afterwards we hit Mac 24/7 for dessert.  Magician was funny and engaging.  We laughed and we're entertained.

Liked the brief history of King Kalakaua at the beginning of the show which highlighted the King's travels and experiences around the world.

We all enjoyed the food at Taormina in Waikiki.  Service was great and the food came out quickly.  Portions were large enough to share which I highly recommend so everyone can enjoy a variety of flavors.  Loved the meaty Steamed Clams in a buttery broth.  The Eggplant

Caponata was a big surprise as it was absolutely delicious.  Never would have thought cold Eggplant could taste so good.  The Insalata del Bosco was big enough for two or three people and the flavors of the fresh Beets and Pear were fantastic.  I went for the Truffle Carbonara with fresh Truffles shaved at the table.  The dish was good but the pasta was clumpy.  Also think they added cream to the Carbonara which to me is a no no.  The Uni Pasta was rich and delicious.  The Bolognese was really good and definitely better than most Italian restaurants.  The Squid Ink Pasta with Seafood was also really good.  Everything was good here and I would definitely return.

Went out to dinner in Waikiki for Date Night and then saw The Magical Mystery Show at the Hilton Waikiki Beach.  Decided to do a late night dessert run at M.A.C. 24/7.  Don't remember much on how it all tasted.  I did better than the guy at the table next to us who passed out.

TRUFFLE AVOCADO TOAST

BREAKFAST AT HOME

Wow....this little bottle of Truffles I picked up on Amazon for less than $40 can turn any dish into Truffle heaven.  The Truffles that are packed in Olive Oil have great flavor and the oil also is packed with a Truffle punch.  Made this Avocado Toast using our favorite low carb bread, Avocado, Everything But the Bagel Seasoning, Poached Egg and Truffles.  Amazing!

MAHI MAHI WITH TRUFFLE MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE

DINNER AT HOME

This was one of my all time favorite Mahi Mahi dinners.  Mahi was fresh and my Truffle Mushroom Sauce rocked.  Didn't hurt to have some shaved Truffles on top.  Wow...this was incredible.

BBQ CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES

DINNER AT HOME

Had BBQ Chicken for lunch at the office and for some reason I decided make BBQ Chicken for dinner.  Reason was the Wife wanted me to use what we had in the refrigerator.  We had Chicken Thighs and Vegetables so that is what I went with.  Actually turned out to be a delicious dinner.
