Made a rare visit to Chinatown to try a Shrimp Plate at Blue Seafood.  The Shrimp were not that great so we decided to try a Banh Mi at Vietnam Pho and Sandwiches in the same food court.  Wow...this was good.  The Special Banh Mi had some really good flavors and was probably the second best Banh Mi I have had in Hawaii next to BaLe Sandwich.

FESTA ITALIANA

Enjoyed a VIP experience at Festa Italiana.  Only complaint is that the VIP tables were stuck in a small corner which felt like a box.  We couldn't wait to get away from the table and roam the two floors of food and wine.  Enjoyed the wine tasting and commentary by the Sommelier. Wine and food were excellent with Margotto and Arancino being my favorites. https://www.festaitalianahawaii.com/

PENNE PASTA WITH ROASTED TOMATOES AND ONION

DINNER AT HOME

This simple recipe has become a family favorite since we first made it a few years ago.  

Great way to use up extra tomatoes and onions we had after a BBQ at the office.
