I’ve been tagged!

I’ve been tagged by Chili Queen to do a post on 3 random things about me and food. Hmm, let me think.

1. I find it amusing how some friends think I’m adventurous food wise just because I eat stuff like poke, rambutans, bok choy, different seafoods but then my family thinks I’m picky because I don’t like things like strawberries, cherries, tomatoes, Italian dressing, coconut, etc. I don’t consider myself to be overly adventurous in the culinary world but I’m willing to try most things unless it smells completely gross then I might need to involve some money and a dare.

2. I would love to cook more elaborate dishes but I sometimes just don’t have it in me. We’ve got a small kitchen so I usually have to take everything that needs cut up in the dining room with the cutting board. But when I do feel the culinary gene kick in I like to cook comfort foods like meatloaf, beef roast and potatoes, spaghetti with meat sauce or one of our favorites…breakfast for dinner. Beverages usually consist of iced tea with 3 sweet and lows, water, pineapple/guava juice or Pepsi on the weekend.

3. When we’re missing Hawaii, I make a nice plate lunch of teri beef, kalua pork with coarse Hawaiian salt and sticky rice. Once a year we throw a luau for our mainland friends with the same dishes and maybe some macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi, we’ve had kalua pork spring rolls, Spam musubi, teriyaki meatballs, flash fried poke and whatever floats our boat. I surprised both of my friends with cookbooks signed by Sam Choy and now between Sam and I, they’re hooked on Hawaiian/island food! If you’ve never tried it, give it a shot, it’s some of the tastiest food in the world!

I’m fresh back from a trip so I’ll come back to tagging others. Thanks Chili Queen!
