Hawaii getting more fanatics!

[jmiller_1974]

Asian foods can be an acquired taste, I imagine. Don't be chicken, just be prepared to order something else if You don't like it. Also, You can tell Us what You're considering and maybe We can tell You if it's safe to try, lol.

I used My awesome li hing powder on pears today. Deeeelish.

Yes, just picked him up on the 2nd. Was in the market for a island beater and ended up moving toward a new "econo box", well after Xplan and 3300 in rebates I ended up with a car that was 100 times nicer than I expected and am very impressed with. No other car in its class had this many features for the money. Great car to pass on to my son in 2 years when he starts driving also!

Hawaii is nice, but I can see how it would get old being on an island for a long long time. I am here with my job on JBPHH so its almost like I am back in the military.

Awesome. Not sure what part you work on at JBPHH but we are usually down there once a week at the commissary on Hickam.

I work near the flight line on Hangar Drive. They wont let me in the commissary here so I have to shop off base. Which SUX big time food is sooo expensive here. Especially steaks. Drives me nuts. I have eaten more chicken than any one human should be allowed. LOL

Just do a quick trip to Kauai, its all you can catch over there, plus should save you some money for beef.

I don't see how people afford to buy groceries at the stores off post/base here. We have a card to Foodland cause we live close to one if we need something quick, that helps but not that much.

Drives me nuts when I see people at Foodland buying all kinds of expensive food and whipping out an EBT card. Then buy alcohol in cash
