| Tuna pizza appetizer |
Though the trip to Hawaii was chock-full with family obligations, there was still time for fun. Friends said they "owed" us dinner--though truthfully we had lost track and weren't sure whose turn it was--and we headed for
Morimoto Asia, a Waikiki restaurant that we would never have gone to on our own.
Morimoto Asia is part of Iron Chef Masahuru Morimoto's expanding culinary empire. The cuisine is Asian fusion, and sure enough the beef, shrimp, fish and fried rice dishes were fundamentally Asian but with European or tropical overtones. Our hostess did all the ordering, and we shared the dishes family-style.
The conversation with fellow baby-boomers extended to the closing hours, as we compared notes about parents who have lived a blessedly long life, and adult children who are not as self-sufficient as we were ourselves, or mis-remembered ourselves. We resolved to keep our bodies and minds healthy as long as we could to make a positive contribution to the lives of our children and possible grandchildren.
Working on that resolution will have to start tomorrow. The
chocolate sphere takes precedence.
