Oh, I went to Chai's too. It was a really great meal foodwise, he does a great job. You've got to love that he even answers the phone and makes the reservations. You've got to dislike that the great music of Makana was so LOUD it was completely obliterating any chance of conversation and we were way in the back of the room. I like his peanut dip with the taro roll to start. We managed to trailblaze our way through several appetizers a salad and everyone had an entree. To end we all had tea I had the tea that is picked by monkeys which left me with lots to think about.

and another: "bring me my Obsession perfume, a couple of macaroons and my computer, I need to do some email."

Big Thanks to all of you who have posted so far! That's great, I am enjoying the information!

"Slippery little suckers" as an escargot goes flying out from the dish to be caught by a waiter.......

Has anyone been to Napa Rose lately/ever? I'm curious! A hui hou!

O.K. I'll give it up. For the past 3 weeks I have been to Mariposa (lunch) twice Mekong I (carry out) Roy's Hawaii Kai Town (lunch) Ola at Turtle Bay (lunch) Assaggio (lunch & dinner) Kailua Ruby Tuesday lunch twice (Windward Mall) Canoe House @ Mauna Lani Roy's Waikoloa Ruth's Chris shops @ Mauna Lani and many other places in between.........The stand out meals are the places I have listed. I have to say and I am shocked to do so, that Ruby Tuesday over here is doing a fantastic job! The server suggested the lump meat crab cake to which I was skeptical beyond belief and true to her description the cake was awesome, just loads of huge pieces of crab, hardly any breadcrumbs or filler, just amazing and fried perfectly. Their drinks actually feature fresh juices and a delightful. Mariposa continues to blow the crowds away during lunch with the popovers, consomme' that just rocks with the rich flavor from deeply slow roasted bones, the lobster club remains in the hall of fame. Pair that with a Neiman Marcus martini (sake, vodka, cucumber and pickled ginger) winners! Try their Valhrona chocolate fudge cake, supremely sinful and huge. Roy's, you can't beat the Flagship and Waikoloa gave them a run for their money with mashed potatoes full of lobster. I don't watch it but my friend say while we were going up the stairs Daniel Dae Kim from "Lost" was asking about seating on the patio outside. Roy's remains my favorite place here and the many I've been to in the empire. Town, drinks, mussels and fries always consistenly good, the carrot soup with warm spice was just glowing with color and flavor. Ola, an hour away for a pretty good lunch, really good kalua pork bowl and ahi salad. This was the first restauant in ages that mentioned the need to not 'stack' drinks (we had a cocktail and had ordered wine for the lunch, my MIL was not finished with her drink yet so the server put her wine in front of my FIL since he was drinking only iced tea) she said the liquor commission is cracking down on that sort of service. First I've heard of this ever. Canoe House - simply amazing food and the influence of new chef de cuisine Dee Ann Tsurumaki is evident and welcome. The sunset was gorgeous and the meal was certainly one to make the trip over more than memorable. Ruth's Chris - a bit of confusion upon entering and no one seemed to be able to figure out how to get us to a table but after that it was pretty smooth and while I'd never been to one of them the food was what I'd would have expected. The funny thing was the crab option at just under $32.00 and our server telling us it would make a nice appetizer........Appetizers of the rich no doubt, we declined. Assaggio continues to crank out huge portions full of flavor and consistency. The tableside caesar salad is always a treat although on a busy Friday night they should dedicate one person to making said salad as everyone orders them and the server assigned to whatever section spends lots of time doing that and not being able to fully handle the other responsibilites for the tables in her care. The opah we had that night was cooked to perfection in both arrabiatta and caper sauce. Mekong remains top of it's game especially for take out with everything tasting just as good as it would have there after the long ride back over the hill, wish I lived in town to eat there more often. As said, there were other places but these stand out and make me thank heaven for elastic waistbands.......a hui hou

Aloha Ronnie and Big Mahalo's for all your work and dedication to the society. Your efforts and time made me homesick every now and then for the great Heartland especially Chicago and the 'burbs. I appreciate your tenure and wish you the best. Looking forward to your continued participation in posting and maybe just maybe we can get together as we've tried when I'm back in the area. Mekealoha Pumehana, a hui hou

"What kind of eggs did she like......" Runaway Bride

Oh, yeah -- luau + Cliff Robertson = Gidget I'm kind of embarrassed that I knew this. ← I'm glad you do! It's funny to see old Cliff in this mostly with his shirt off and those silly cut off khaki's. Correct answer!

Clue for #98 - one main character is named Jeffrey Matthews......... O.K. one more clue, Cliff Roberston is in this movie too.

Is that Down and Out in Beverly Hills? ← Wow! I think you are right - although not my clue. This happens when Nick Nolte is trying to show Matisse how to eat, I like the scene previous when Matisse picks up the bowl and flings the food across the living room and the psychiatrist tells him "oh, Matisse, you are so angry."

CONGRATULATIONS WATERDOGS! it is "Some Like it Hot" Sorry for the delay in writing your accolades - I know you'll all feel sorry for me and the reason why......I was just on Big Island holed up at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel forced to eat wildly fabulous meals for a few days and see lots of whale action! No need to guess the sticky lollipop either because it's the same movie - I was just trying to give two clues. A hui ho and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

another one : " I always get the sticky end of the lollipop." same movie, the birthday boy is shot by men with machine guns bursting out of a cake. Pretty easy I think!

How about the character has various meats (steaks, a roast) stuffed into her sweater from the family fridge to take to a 'luau'.........

Mahalo Toliver for your diligence regarding the daily recaps! Much appreciation for your time! A hui hou!

We get it often at our farmer's market. I'll dig out the informational sheet that they gave with it. We've used it plenty in soups - espcially squash soups. I'll write more later - it's so pretty! a hui hou!

My Best Friends Wedding? ← Yes, and she also says "I'll write it up as confident....." Charlie Trotter and Guiliiermo Tellez are in those cameo roles. He says he'll kill Guillermo's family if it's not right. I was so wanting to add this movie I am glad you did!

Yeah! WHT what we didn't have here was a failure to communicate! A hui hou nice addition dockhl

YES YES YES!!!!!! Congratulations Waterdogs! It is Mr. Hobbs one of our very favorite movies, the lines are great. I love the last one where he says "And they say nothing good ever came from drinking." Congratulations!!! a hui hou!

Those both fit Under the Tuscan Sun, but I'm not sure about the "Turn me Over." ← CONGRATULATIONS RACHELD! It is Under the Tuscan Sun. The "turn me over....." quote comes from the scene where they talk about San Lorenzo patron saint of cooking when she finally has those workmen to cook for. Good job! A hui hou!

I don't know what # this would be but I think it got lost in the mix. I know it was guessed to be "Caddyshack" but that is not correct. These things are all from the same movie with a classic star in the lead.

#53 another clue(2) blonde woman eating an ice cream cone in town square and she finally has someone to cook for.

hey, oneidaone, the hamburger was from Caddyshack! ← Sorry, no! They're all from the same movie and Caddyshack is not it. Maybe they stole the line from this rather old movie! Try again! a hui hou

My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Oh, did I like the food in that movie. My favorite lines: "Would you like something to eat?" "No, thanks, I'm not hungry." "I'll just fix you something." ← I like the scene where they come to the house with a bundt cake and everyone just stares at it and repeats the word "Boondt" completely mystified at the very cake in front of them. How about when the kids tease her and say Mouse-caca for mousakka? Great movie!!

a good hamburger with lots of onions, was it in S. Eureka or N. Eureka? from same movie: "Here's to Boompah" and finally same movie "gum drops, shortcake, sweet stuff jelly roll" o.k. one more, same movie "Hip! hip!"
