cheap female Italian Opera singer?!

Theyv'e got a few of them at Macaroni Grill in Ala Moana. Well, cheap, considering their performances are included (+ tip) with the dining experience. A young, attractive local gal who works there tore it up singing "Happy Birthday" to our guest in Italian.. BRAVO!

Erika, I gladly accept your compliment, regardless of your choice of words.

Re: Musubi Mania

Erika, you're right. Half the stuff in 99 cent store is now $1.49. What's the deal? lol Unfortunately neither there or Marukai Ward had any in stock at the moment.

So I ended up getting it from Daiei **ehem** I mean Don Quijote. Get this: They had it stocked in the KITCHEN GADGET aisle (relabeled) for $2.49. Then I look in the "Dollar" section near the registers and the same exact one is just a buck! So I bought two makers for less than the price of one for some serious 4-at-once Musubi mass production.

This is the exact model...

eh you like go back an buy 2-3 more an den mailum out to me COD? I paypal you da Kala for buy um... no can find dat kine out hea I get stuck makin them by hand.....

Re: Kitchen Tools & Gadgets

Okay, I wasn't going to let you in on this, but...

Ugh. It's going to hurt to share this in public. On August 18, the Executive Chef is having a three-hour sale. Everything in the store is 25% off. I don't remember which three hours, though. Honestly!

I understand your pain -- which makes your sharing of the info that much more special.
However, vulture shopper that I am, I feel compelled to add detail. The site doesn't have the sale date posted yet (perhaps it's only "advertised" to frequent shoppers or newsletter registrants?) but the site encourages visitors to check back.

Re: Kitchen Tools & Gadgets

I guess a refrigerator is a bit too big to be called a "gadget," but it's certainly a tool, and the new fridge we got is quite "gadgety," if I do say so myself.
