This past weekend, I went home to Chicago for the first time since moving to Hawaii in late July. These are two pictures from Wal-Mart that I found myself showing to all my family members - Look all at all that soy sauce and canned meat! It’s like Hawaii holds all these memories of my childhood that I didn’t know existed for other people too.
Options at the University of Hawaii’s campus center dining services: bibombop, mapo tofu bowl, katsu, loco moco, bentos, sushi, poke, SPAM musubi, meat Jun, mandoo…and so much more. Wow. Just wow.
Portland Day 1 cont: Schnitzelwich, more than a sandwich
Pork had a lovely, gritty crunchiness but could have used more spice. The pork was nice and tender. Fresh ciabatta made for good structural integrity of the sandwich, crusty on the outside with a chewy middle. The horseradish sour cream lacked the one-two punch I was hoping for, but the sweet roasted red pepper and carmelized onion spread almost made up for it. Almost. Though this was the largest source of veggies I had all day, it was an overwhelming amount! All in all, good but not quite great.
