This food looks great Wish I hade wonka vision, Also I was thinking man I hate when pineapples are on ham but it does make them taste good its just it ruines the pineapple it becomes too salty for me to eat :( *I guess it just means I love pineapples more then ham lol.
 
Pic... Everyone of those dishes look awesome. I really dig the nacho platter with the seared tuna and the wonton chips. Great idea and I will be trying that myself.
Kudos
 
I see why you haven't updated your GLOG. Fantastic my friends!

Greg

OMG. I am going to go sit in a corner and cry.

Haha...................no need for that, although the last time I felt like that , the Giants beat the Pat's in S.B 2008. I had the final score for some big bucks until the Giants scored at the end to win.................no way! My wife told me to forget about it and lets enjoy the rest of the night.................yea right. Ha ....didn't have a good sleep for a day or two..................... :eek:

Cool man,

We travel to the islands when we have time and for anyone else who has knows the Sashimi dishes are a staple on every menu..................oh and no spam for me,!

Greg
 
Looks DAMN good and I'd chow down in an instant but hold it, it says your in Chicago! What Hawaiian connetion doyou use to get al those Island ingredients? I mean Tarro root is pretty easy and maybe some of the spices but the rest???
BTW, how was the Hawaiian wine?

Cheers,
RM
 
Greg , love you're ingredients.. I live in the macadamia capital - respect.

Thanks, the macadamia's do have their place in the culinary world. On a side note we use the mac'nut flavored coffee from Maui, brew it, chill it and make a frappucinno out of it. Very tasty in the summer months.

We have a couple weeks of timeshare on Maui, we been traveling there for many years...... love it!
Been to the other islands also.
What's popular is the purple "sweet potato", I subbed the purple potato instead in my recipe. Even with the produce markets here in Chicago it's difficult to find some of the Hawaiian produce. We do get a share of fish flown in, Tuna, Opaka, Ono, Mahi...
We'll bring back goods and ship the light weight stuff. The red wine is pretty heavy bodied, adds to a nice sauce and goes well with pork. There's also a wine made from pineapples. That's a bit sweet for me but if someone poors me a glass I won't push it away!
You can also find a good selection of Hawaiian alc. including the 155 proof rum online at "Hightimewine" from Cali.

thanks for the comment R.M.

Greg
 
I had that Pineapple wine once and went looking for it here and couldn't find it. My lady loves pineapples and wine. Maybe if you have it there in Chitown, I could have you ship me a bottle?
