My Bissell Sweeper

This is my Bissell Sweeper.  I got it from Amazon 3 years ago on a Lightening deal for $20.80. The regular price today is $28.85.  You can check it out here. 

I love that it's lightweight. It's more convenient than busting out the vacuum cleaner. 

We have area rugs all over the house now to make it easier for Kona to get up. The sweeper works well on both the rugs and the hardwood floor.  

I use it at least every other day to sweep up Kona's fur. 


Here's da fur. 

Kau Kau Grill

Leslie texted me these picture of their lunch the other day, and I thought I'd share them with you. They ordered the fried saimin combo plus crazy rice (about $35 total).

Leslie's BBQ Baby Back Ribs.


Randy's Pulehu Short Ribs.

This is a painting of a succulent that I saw on sale at Longs.



Here's the photo that I took for reference.

Pioneer Saloon

A few days ago Wendell and I went to Pioneer Saloon for lunch. I forgot to mention the limited parking on my previous post. Luckily, it doesn't bother Wendell at all and sure enough, he had no problems finding street parking for his big truck.









Wendell got the Tonkatsu ($11). He said it was good.


I got the Deep Fried Calamari Legs ($11). It was just awright. I shoulda got the Butterfish.

Pioneer Saloon

Wendell picked up dinner for us from Pioneer Saloon a few days ago. I can't believe that it was 10 years ago that I first blogged about the place. You can check it out here if you like.

We ordered four plates and ate them family style. Here they are in order of ono-ness (according to me). Somehow, we ended up with all seafood. The guys said that next time they're getting some MEAT. Me? I'm sticking with the BUTTERFISH. So gooood.

Miso Butterfish ($14)


Deep-fried Baby Tako with Spicy Mayo ($11).  50 cents extra for mixed grain and bean rice.


Salmon Katsu ($10).  50 cents extra for shiso/wakame/seaweed rice.


Creamy Scallop ($13)

Kulolo from Yama's Fish Market

I bought kulolo from Yama's Fish Market yesterday. It was so ono that all that was left this morning was this piece. 



So I went back today. I was hoping that they hadn't sold out. 

I found out that they don't bring it in from Kauai anymore, and for the past couple years have been making their own. 


Hoo hoo!!  They make a fresh batch every Thursday and Friday. And once in awhile even on Saturdays.

Trying to copy Posuka Demizu . . . again.

Mix Don from Sushi Bay

I lost count how many times Landon said, "Oh, this is good!" 

It's a Mix Don ($10.95) from Sushi Bay in Kapolei. Lan recommends drizzling a little bit of their unagi sauce on top.

Grace Art Watercolor Brushes

Watercolor brushes can be expensive. YouTuber Denise Soden mentioned a bargain set in a video showing her favorite brushes. 



I was curious so I ordered it. The pack of 12 brushes is made by Grace Art and was only $7.50 on Amazon.


So far, I like it a lot, especially at 65 cents each!

Dave's Killer Bread

This is my favorite bread . . . Dave's Killer Bread . . . 21 Whole Grains and Seeds, organic and thin sliced. 

Cofounder Dave Dahl spent 15 years in prison before joining the family's bakery business where he eventually created Dave's Killer Bread.  You can read his story here in a Forbes article.



I like the thinness.


This is my favorite way to eat it.
