cyn: sounds like you had a great time! THE CELLAR!!! wow! showing my age now.
anyway, tonight's dinner: chop steak. yum!
we did! we haven't done any kind of bar hopping in years so our mini crawl was fun.
your post reminds me that i've never made chop steak. *having thoughts*
anyway, tonight eric and i decided to have another waikiki adventure. we went to rum fire again, this time for sunset cocktails in the "fire pit," an astroturfed outside area with relaxed seating highlighted by...fire pits (video at this link). because we were just adjacent to the pool area, we were able to enjoy karla akiona's halau's performance, too.
after relishing the deconstructed pina colada (perfect if you're like eric and not a fan of blended drinks), cucumber & lavendar mojito (our server's favorite), ginger essence white sangria (i ordered this two nights ago; eric liked it so much he ordered it for himself last night) and the fire hydrate (for the tastiest "hammered & buzzed" experience i've had), we ambled over to the hyatt. thanks largely to this post in the japanese food thread, we made reservations at musashi and had the pleasure of enjoying kevin matsuda's performance. totally fun & omigawd, the food was ono--and there was so much of it! pomai pretty much summed up the experience well.

leftover homemade pork adobo with oki potatoes, spiced up with fresh chopped jalapenoes. plus a salad of red leaf lettuce, mint, thai basil, and american parsley, all torn up & tossed together with a lil of angelo pietro's ume dressing.

homemade chicken piccata with the last Meyer lemon from the most recent crop squeezed all over its capers and mushrooms. Whole-wheat linguine, fresh, steamed broccoli. Leftovers for my man. He'll have a nice dinner to take to work tomorrow.
I'm actually thinking of renaming chicken piccata "PMS Chicken" as I pound the itsh out of it and it feels good. LOL!
Pumpkin and potato soup. Fry an onion and some garlic, add water and stock, cut in a potato or two and a good sized chunk of pumpkin, add a bayleaf and celery. Simmer til tender, then add a few triangle laughing cow cheeses and mix with the wand blender.
It was also very good served cold with croutons for lunch, today.
Heh - nah, I think it was the chicken dish at the restaurant we went to that night. It wasn't very good going down, and even worse upon its repeat visits. I know it's hard to confirm what causes f.p., but there were a lot of dots to connect to this one meal.
It sucked that we were hours away from home at the time, so I couldn't really rest for quite a while, and couldn't even keep liquids down, so I was worried about dehydration. You know what I wanted more than anything else at the time? Shave ice. Didn't even want any flavor - just that fine, beautiful coolness - "sno-cones" on the Mainland are no comparison.
