As soon as we checked into our hotel in Honolulu, I called our old friend and pastor, Jeff
Lilley. Jeff is now pastor of Lutheran Church of Honolulu. Jeff gave us a great, if somewhat speedy, tour of Honolulu, including his favorite beaches, their boat, great parks and such. His tips on things to do could have kept us busy for a good month if not longer! Even back in our Kansas days, Jeff was determined they would one day sell everything, buy a boat and spend the rest of their days sailing around the world. This boat is a great first step!
Jean is the Executive Director of Honolulu Habitat for Humanity, so we picked her up after work and got the whirlwind tour of Lutheran Church of Honolulu.
They have an incredible music program there and I couldn't resist getting a picture of the music storage area.
Every church musician I know would die for storage like this!
When they buy music, they buy the whole score, another trait that most church musicians love to be able to do!
Jeff had obligations at the church, so Jean
tokk us to dinner at one of our new favorite restaurants, Sam
Choy's. I'm sure Sam
Choy's is
hohum for most Hawaiians, but we thought it was a major feast! Robert and I split The catch of the day, steamed
mahimahi with black Bean Sauce served with green beans and, in typical Hawaiian fashion, mashed potatoes.
There was a mess up with Jean's
crabmeat stuffed
Opah with
shiitake mushroom sauce, so they brought us the appetizer of the day,
crabmeat stuffed
shiitake mushrooms.
Unfortunately, the appetizer picture is a bit fuzzy and we somehow missed a picture of Jean's
opah. We found the seasoning to be spot on, the fish flawlessly prepared and the service, aside from the
mis-
communication with the kitchen to be excellent. With specials under the $30.00 price point including sides, it was quite reasonably priced for Honolulu. Try it nex time you are in Honolulu.
