Last week was an emotional week for me, and I am always blessed to be reminded of how lucky I am. I was up at Punahou School this week and was able to snap this picture from the top of rocky hill. Lucky I live Hawai’i!

I recently had the opportunity to dine at Chef Morimoto’s new restaurant in Waikiki, and while this column isn’t usually used for reviews, I did want to comment that it was a fun experience but a little pricey and noisy for a regular visit. I’m keeping this one for special occasions.

Finally, a picture from one of my favorite restaurants, Tokkuri-tei! For a limited time, Chef Santa has prepared “Foie Gras Chips” as an ala-carte item. If you have ever had their Spicy Ahi chips or Smoked Ahi chips, you’ll be familiar with this version. If you aren’t, just think of it this way, imagine creamy delicious Foie Gras mixed with a sweet and savory sauce then piled on top of a tenpura fried nori (Japanese seaweed) chip. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
