Taxes paid and Easter/Passover celebrated all in the same week. And based on a completely unscientific Facebook sampling, a lot of people are enjoying Maui, Grand and Bryce Canyons, and figuring out what kind of Beatle, dog, color or Disney Princess they are. People, we have to eat!
Meatless Monday
4 Teenage Boys, 2 pounds of pasta, 2 loaves of garlic bread, a big box of salad greens, a pint of tomatoes, and one gigantic batch of Simple Tomato Spaghetti Sauce. They eat. A Lot. But we're always happy to have the boys over.
Nearly Meatless Tuesday
Kim Chee Pork. Because thin sliced kurobuta was on sale at Marukai. And because the pork is so rich, we don't need to use that much. Very manageable on a weekday.

Shabu shabu. We haven't had this in awhile and I've missed it.
Thursday
Mauna Lani Leftover Chicken Pasta Salad. My friend C threw this together from a bunch of leftovers we had when we vacationed in Kona. Making this always reminds me of that lovely time on the Big Island. It won't technically be leftover chicken as I'll probably buy a Costco chicken for it.
Aloha Friday
Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice. With the yolk of a sunny-side up egg mixed with a dash of shoyu in the rice. This is one of the very simple things I love best.
