Waikele, Kunio's, Tokoname's calories

Penny's October grooming photo

Lovely Maidenhair ferns and water lilies in Janie's garden.
Maidenhairs were popular when we were young because they're so delicate and go well in corsages and leis.

 Today, we decided to drive out to Waikele and see the outlet stores.
It has become an outdoor shopping area and many tourists from China, Korea, Japan, Australia were there. 
    I had heard that some Japanese tourists go directly from the airport to Waikele to shop.

Tommy Bahama was having a 50% off sale, and Crocs was great at "buy one get the second one half off" sale.   Looked at Ralph Lauren but didn't have time to go into other stores because it was time for lunch at...

Luckily, friend Denise had told us to go early because it filled up quickly.

R's Maguro bowl.

The broiled Hamachi negi roll was good.  Like tuna, green onion and mayonnaise rolled in rice.

It was fun to walk around here, but there are great sales at the Ala Moana Mall stores also.

On the way back to Honolulu, we passed under the Monorail construction site (I think) that we hear so much about.

Our Condo's lobby is beginning to take on Autumn colors.

At Tokoname, I had the Mu Sake sampler again with sushi.
The Nigori, Snow Maiden, is quite good, like an alcoholic dessert.

Daiginjo Mu was as smooth as ever, and Ginjo Katana was good too, but  just a tad harsher.

R had sashimi again because it goes well with his beer.

Uh oh.   Tempura ice cream.
In order not to have to work too hard at the gym,
we each ate only one quarter of the ball.  The tempura covering was extra crispy tonight and the pound cake like lining beneath it was thicker too.
And then the cold ice cream in the center...
Tuesdays are "25% off "days.
