A Very Happy Thursday

Posted on 2:42 AM by dimple
I embraced my long awaited weekend with open arms.  I surprised myself by getting up early this morning, so I made myself breakfast and then booked my ticket to Kauai for a springtime reunion with my family this upcoming April.  I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am for this vacation.  It'll be my first real time off since I started working at my new restaurant a year ago.

Later in the day, Bryan and I met our friend Kimo at Mala Tavern for lunch.  I ordered their special: the Oceana a la Plancha.  Ahi and Onaga served on mashed Yukon potatoes and Molokai sweet potatoes with pesto, capers, tomatoes and pita bread.


I think this seriously one of the best dishes I have ever had on island.  It blew my mind.


And as you can see, I ate every last bite:




After lunch, Bryan and I parted ways with Kimo and drove up north to our favorite beach: Napili Bay.

The sky was ridiculously clear, that we could see every single mountain peak of Molokai on the horizon.



We stayed until just before sunset, then came home.  After taking a shower, I promptly fell asleep and took an hour nap before getting up to make myself a three egg omelette with a simple arugala salad on the side.



I've got a big day mapped out for tomorrow: a little solo shopping trip to Paia and Kahului--but I hope to meet up with some friends while over there.

Either way, I should come back with some goodies!
