I\u2019m a pretty simple guy. On Father\u2019s Day when my kids would ask me what I wanted to eat, we always ended up at our local Hawaiian place for a brunch of Spam\u00ae and Eggs. Things haven\u2019t changed all that much, so I guess you can\u2019t take the islands out of me no matter how long it\u2019s been since I\u2019ve been back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do miss certain things though. I do miss hearing everyone talking \u201cpidgin\u201d everywhere you go. I do miss the sudden showers you get on a perfectly sunny day. I do miss being able to buy Huli Huli chicken on a random Saturday, at some school where they\u2019re grilling it to raise money. I miss being able to tell how sweet and fresh the air smells when you get off the plane at HNL (probably not that hard to do when you\u2019re coming in from LA), ha-ha! But most of all I do miss the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although a lot of things have changed I\u2019m sure, I\u2019m guessing (and hoping) a lot of things about Hawaii are still the same. Food has grown more sophisticated everywhere, even in Hawaii, but I\u2019m sure I can rediscover that local flavor if I go back for a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month I got nostalgic\u2014for teriyaki sticks! Think about it; they\u2019re much easier to eat this way and a lot more fun. Make sure you baste while you grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s convenient when you can bring the grill to your kitchen counter by the window LOL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
