Decision Making

Maui for President 2017

We decided to vote Pineapple and will be going back to Maui in 2017. After hemming and hawing and checking our list twice we decided we've been good enough to have a Mauiversary. Normally we like doing things ourselves and in our own weirder way. I mean our trip in 2016 was funky and a bit off the beaten path, but since it's a Mauiversary we went resorty. Costco had a pretty decent packaged priced competively so we will be doing the un us like thing and go full resort just like most everybody else. We would have preferred Kihei but Kaanapali is not to shabby. Here's to sitting on the beach in 2017.  Certainly more to come.

The Randall house is abuzz with talk of going back to Maui. It's been too long but we're looking into returning. We have a week or two window in feb. with flights still looking good and prices being good. But, then there is a sharp price increase. Or do we wait till early May and go in a different season and experience a slightly different Maui? We'll need to pull the trigger very quickly if we go for Feb.

My My My Musubi

Spam Musubi

We loved the tasty morsel known as the Spam Musubi. Great for a snack or breakfast. Think a spam sushi roll but slightly different. We've gone to a few Hawaiian restaurant since returning to Sacramento and chronicled it here. Then I had a brilliant idea.....
Order a kit online! So i had the Spam, bought the Nori seaweed, used some microwave rice and bout  musubi mold or musubi press. Whichever you wan to call it.

The end result was tasty and I had fun making it but the rice fell apart. I'll need to get different rice next time and a rice cooker to try to make the rice stickier since I just used microwaveable rice to start with for convenience. My Musubi experiment still needs some hammering out but a delicious first attempt.

Given the Fish Face

Fish Face Poke Bar Sacramento

Trying to relive our time on Maui we went to Fish Face Poke Bar for some before mentioned Poke and a Musubi (one of our favorite tasty things) The Poke was on point with big and perhaps a bit too much Ahi Tuna. The hoisin sauce added o the mix of greens.
The musubi was a hybird as we ordered it to go.. It was prepared and packaged by Fish Face but then the end user had to roll it. Kinda weird but enjoyable in a diy way.The weirdness lies in it not being able to consume immediately as one has to undo the seaweed from the packaging to then roll it. My rolling skills did not pass the test as it was a bit loose. Tasty though.

If you're looking for Poke in Sacramento I'd certainly recommend Fish Face at the Warehouse Artist Lofts on R Street. Good grub with an outdoor seating area to boot.

San Francisco to Maui, SFO to OGG

We've been looking into going back to Maui. Searching for deals and the one that jumps out was a round trip for under $300 per person by Virgin America. Recent news is Virgin America is to be bought by Alaska Air and I doubt we'll find fares that low again.

I felt the need. The need for Spam. maybe it was a salt craving but I went to the nice part of Florin Road west of I-5 and got my musubi on at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. Rice, Seaweed, Sauce, and Spam. Enjoyed every second of it.
