Caesar Salads, The Kama'aina Collection, and What We're Eating . . .

Pictured above:  Patz Pies' Chicken Caesar Salad.  This salad is huge.  I was at a loss for words and suggested, "vessel."  Mr. L came up with a better description:  A dory.  It's a dory of salad.  A boat-load.  Get it?  Sorry.

Anyway, we also order a slice of pizza and split 'em both.

Yes, I'm tooting my horn a little, there.  :-)

While we were out checking out garage sales two weeks ago, we struck gold.  John and Michele Gamble (The Palms Cliff House) have started an estate sale business, and are renting a space up in Papaikou.  It's sort of across from the Onomea Bay Credit Union.  It isn't open all the time, but if you want to check it out, call them at 989-6077. I scored a beautiful casserole dish.  I'll put in a slideshow below with some pictures of the great stuff they have.

What are we eating, this week?  Well, let's pick up with today, which is later than normal, but yesterday was a blur.

Monday:  Sam Choy's Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Tossed Green Salad
Tuesday:  Baked Chicken Alfredo with Mushrooms; Rolls; Caesar Salad
Wednesday;  Angel Hair Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Thursday:  Salmon, Rice Pilaf, Green Beans with Shallots and Bacon
Friday:  Sausage Hero Sandwiches with Peppers; Home Fries
Saturday:  OUT!

Here are the vintage treasures:

I hope you got to have a holiday.  I am thinking, "nap" sounds like a good plan, today.
