Tacos, the Kona Canoe Club, and What We're Eating . . .

Happy Holidays!  For those of you fortunate enough to be in Kailua-Kona this week, check out the Kona Canoe Club.  Pictured above:  Mini-Tacos, with Kalua Pork.  Delicious.  I dithered hard between the pupu tacos and the regular tacos, finally deciding to behave and order the minis.  They were plenty, with my beer.  I am a big fan of the Kona Canoe Club.  The location is stellar (see pictures, below) and the food is great.  Way back when we were tourists, it was a regular stop.  Once we moved, we got out of the habit, I guess.  Well, those days are over.  Service is fast so even if we're in a bit of a hurry, we're going to make a point of getting in there more.  Also pictured below will be the "Paddler's Fish Sandwich," (which Mr. L enjoyed with spearfish, his favorite) and a Kalua Pig sandwich, which our friends split.  

Also pictured, below, is last week's experimental "Biff a la Lindstrom," which was delicious.  I made it into a sort of inside-out deal, putting several of the ingredients on top.  

Aside from way too many Christmas cookies, here is what we'll be eating, this week.

Sunday:  Bacon-Onion Quiche and Salad
Monday:  Sausages and Peppers over Rice
Tuesday:  Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
Wednesday:  Game Hens with Couscous and Zucchini
Thursday:  Take-Out!
Friday:  Christmas Dinner:  Pork Loin with Port Wine Cherry Sauce; Red Potatoes; Green Beans
Saturday:  Leftovers

For years, I made my mother's Clam Chowder for Christmas Eve.  The first year we lived here, I went to make it, and it was just too dang hot.  I also needed to finish wrapping, clean the house, get Christmas breakfast ready . . . and a new tradition was born:  Take-out Christmas Eve.  I find it really de-stresses me.  

As promised, the pictures mentioned above.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
