I did not expect to have a part 2. (
To go directly to part 1, scroll to the bottom of this article.) However, one of the benefits of retirement is that after a great weekend, the vacation continues on Monday. After much mulling, I chose to see the movie "
Salmon Fishing in Yemen." This was an excellent film with a lot more in terms of relationship, stress and enjoyment than "
Hunger Games." Mind you, world-wide, HG has made more than
$360 million, while SFIY only has box office revenues of $3.6 million. However, like in "
Jiro," I was again spurred to have a follow-up meal related to the title.
The theater was in the Kahala Mall, so I strolled over to the Japanese section of Whole Foods and picked up a salmon (
of course) onigiri (
rice ball), sunomono (
vinegared cucumber) and two soups, miso and beef bourguignon. Combined with the really expensive sashimi leftover and ridiculously priced sake (
of course, it has a lower concentration of arsenic), I had a spectacular follow-up dinner:
Those are the Hawaii State flowers in the background.
As predicted, Kentucky is the 2012 NCAA basketball champion.
