This Week's Ono

Here is a little about this week's ono at our house. Ono is the Hawaiian word for delicious.

Since we have instituted the new Farmer grocery habit, I wanted to make our shopping interesting. Each week I buy something new to our family.These are pluots. They are a hybrid of 3/4 plum and 1/4 apricot. Pluots are very sweet because of their high sugar content and their intense flavor. They are also very, very juicy. Pluots are also rich in Vitamin A.
This is misoyaki butterfish. It is quite popular here in Hawaii. It combines the Japanese flavors of miso and sake with a taste that is uniquely Hawaiian. It is really popular at Roy's, but costs you probably three or four times what I paid for it at Costco. The butterfish is actually a sablefish, but because the skin of the fish is oily, it melts in your mouth like butter.
We also went to our favorite pancake paradise that is right down the street from my house. This is Son1's favorite breakfast, eggs over hard, and jasmine fried rice which is onolicious. Rice is a staple that can be eaten with every meal here. This fried rice is sweet and is made with bacon. They make the best fried rice ever!
Ooooh we had never had this before. Every day the restaurant makes a special biscuit of the day for $1.99. This day was peaches and cream biscuit day. It was so huge. It took up the entire dessert plate. Mmmm it was butter topped, sweet, fluffy, with whole peach pieces and layers of whipped cream in between. We have gone there for almost a year and have never been there on a peaches and cream biscuit day.Then there was the day Hubby made cashew chicken with vegetable stir fry just to give me a break. So yummy that Son1 ate his veggies pretty easily. The boys usually don't see their dad until the early evenings since he leaves at 5:30am. When he is home, they want to be right with him.

  5. Everytime I see on of your posts with the Word CostCo..it makes me so sad that Savannah does not have ONE! Of course being a Virginian...I use to belong to Costco and the last time I was home in Dec of 2006 My SIL took me to Costcos and we spent HOURS...I mean I spent hours in that place...O yea and lots of money too!

    All we have is a Sam's Club and it is not that great. I also love BJ Wholesale which is not down here either!

    Just had to mention my pained exsistence without CostCO! At least we now have a Target and there is a Rumor that we MIGHT get a KOHL'S. Which no one here knows what that is unless they have lived somewhere else!!!
