Ms. D's Birthday!

Ms. D turned "31" yesterday!  Makizushi wanted to do a small get-together in the office, complete with presents!  But, first, lunch . . .

Side Street Inn Pork Chop Plate

Lunch was pork chop plates from Side Street Inn ($15 or so).  Side Street is locally famous for being the place where Hawaii's celebrity chefs hang out.  The food is straightforward, but very well done.  The pork chop plate was two good sized chops, a big scoop of rice, and a big, mayonaise-y scoop of mac salad.

For a present, what else could they do but get a Goteborg sausage???  Trouble is, not too many places have them on Oahu.  Some internet research (thanks, Google!) said that Times Kahala might have some, so off went Umami to check it out.

One Big A$$ Sausage!

Umami was under the impression that Goteborgs were maybe a foot-long, maybe a pound.  No.  These buggers are 16" and weigh over three pounds!!  The check-out clerks seemed to think it was a toy and started waving it around at each other.  So inappropriate!  But,  Ms. D was super happy with her present, so all good!
