Even though I came in 3rd place in the Texas Hold’Em tournament AND my sweater was the color of money, I didn’t actually win any dough. Still a fun night at Jen and Chad’s.
On New Years Day we went to Jeff & Heather’s for football & food. Tons of food. The food this holiday season has been amazing, but I’m glad the holidays are over. I can get back on track. Well, after we finish all the sushi, char sui, shumai*, inari, and other leftovers that were sent home with us.
*Dallas’ Aunt Gail’s pork shumai was my favorite dish yesterday, the best shumai I’ve ever had. I’m afraid when we go out to restaurants now I’m going to think all the shumai is crap and just be like “This isn’t like Auntie Gail’s shumai!” I’m ruined forever!

I’m not a big inari fan (we usually just call it cone sushi here), but shumai is fun. :o) Next time you and Dallas come out to Oahu, make sure you stop by Kwong On on Waialae Avenue in Kaimuki — they have great shumai and the best baked manapua on the island!

*lol* It’s true, we do, regardless of the shape. We also call shumai “pork hash.” :o)

yes. the dogs. i call them “snouts,” or “snouteros,” as the whim suits me.
