On one of our last days on Oahu, we looked out the window. Raining again. Phooey. I remember driving around, finding most things were closed… no tourist activities for today – Even the Polynesian Cultural Center, which we had hoped to get to, was shut down to due to the severe weather. !whatever!
Consulted the guidebook again, and found that we just had to get the best macadamia nut pancakes on the island! I was pretty much sure the place would be closed, but I called them and alas, they were OPEN! A little bit of nervousness that we would get stopped on the side of the road by policemen who were blocking off the roads didn’t stop us. We kept going. And we Made It.
Apparently we weren’t the only ones looking for SOMETHING to do on this rainy Hawaiian morning. We had a 45 minute wait outside – none of those handy beeper things to keep you updated… luckily their little waiting area shielded us from the rain. Phew!
After all the hype, we both had to get the famous pancakes with macadamia nut sauce. Oak chickened out and got it on the side – WHATEVER! Eat it like it’s meant to be eaten! (Of course, anyone who knows Oak, knows he’s a big dipper… things like ketchup and syrup NEVER go on top of the food! hellow.)
You can see here what they’re meant to look like – yummy. It was mighty tasty, but otherwise the place was basically like a diner. There was only one waitress, so we never got refills on our drinks or anything. Definitely worth the adventure though!
If we had these pancakes BEFORE the amazing pie, they probably would have gotten a rave review. That pie has ruined me forever.

Hey girl!
I thought of you a few days ago.. I was drunk and playing DDR! It was a good time (my game’s rusty), but no Lime Tostitos were involved (just DDR and cosmopolitans), so it wasnt total Sharpage..
Work is good and busy. I’m on travel later this week and might actually meet up with Bob Brown in Atlanta!
Hope all is going well for you guys!!!
