Mixed plate
Kalbi ribs (on top,) teri beef (middle) and teri chicken (peeking out from under the beef at left and top) on four scoops of rice (because I worry about food poisoning with the two scoops of mayonaise-laden mac salad the drive-ins usually serve.)
I was up too late last night, so I slept late this morning. Getting a late start on my day meant I wasn’t hungry at lunchtime. As I was driving to the grocery store around one o’clock I was suddenly so hungry I felt like I might collapse. I dashed through Tamura’s grabbing milk, bread and a few other things and was in and out of there within ten minutes. Barbecue Kai, my favorite Waianae Coast drive-in, is just around the corner from Tamura. I made it there in record time, too. My stomach was making rude noises by then and my knees were feeling shaky as I stood in line, resenting the one person in front of me. It felt like it took forever for the girl at the window to deliver my mixed plate, but in reality it was probably about three minutes. The sidewalk tables were all taken, so I sat in my car and wolfed down half a piece of chicken and a goodly amount of rice to rebuild my strength for the drive home. I ate some more once I got the groceries put away, but the servings are much too generous for me to consume in one sitting. I have a piece and a half of chicken, most of the teri beef and plenty opf rice left over for my dinner tonight. Ahhhhhhhhhh! Life is good!
