      That you pay $5.40 instead of $7. Then of course it's one scoop of rice instead of 2 and smaller serving. However I got say that even the mini-plate version there is a lot of kalua pork.

        Is there mac salad on the mini plate?
        Now I am hungry for that! And it's only breakfast time, over here.

          Mini plates and regular plate lunches typically come with one scoop of mac salad.

            L&L Drive In places are very generous with their "mini" plate lunches. The Chicken Katsu is a good example - at least 10 pieces of chicken in it, plus one scoop rice & one scoop mac salad. Now I'm ono for that instead of what I had tonite: a Stauffer's Panini sandwich - smoked turkey. It was good, but not great. also, had a rum & coke with it

              We had greenbeans cooked with butter, garlic, shallots and parsley. Potatoes fried in duck fat with onions. And maigret de canard. That's a whole breast of fattened, force-fed duck (the liver of the same duck is called fois gras), the kind with a half-inch layer of fat under the skin. It's cooked fat-side first, with a bit of salt, untill the fat almost melts and the skin is crispy. Then you turn it over in the pan and cook it just a tad more...it's eaten rare, sliced thin. Another way to cook it is to cut, from the fatty side, almost through into quarter inch slices, and then broil, fatty side up. Don't bother turning it that way, and it'll be perfectly ready-sliced, ready-to-eat.

              Yaeh, yeah...I know...cook poultry well to avoid bird flu. All that I have to say is that I will miss eating maigret during the pandemic. I will miss the drips of rare duckjuice running down my chin.

                  Miso ramen with no kamaboko and with extra bean sprouts from Sumo Ramen in Kam Shopping Center. It's just passable, but it's also convenient.

                      I made a small but succulent and melt in your mouth Pot Roast Beef for MAMA and me tonight. Simmered in Carrots, Bell Peppers, Maui Onions, garlic and a piece of fresh ginger. Plus one bay leaf for the kick.

                      Salt, pepper to taste. heheheh And a secret ingredient.

                      Gravy was simple. Juice from the drippings mixed with flour and water.

                      Cut thin and put upon fresh wide strips of boiled Egg Noodles.

                      Awwwwww....full tummys. MAMA watching Yobo Movie and I on my Computa!

                            Off to Aku Bone in about 90 minutes and we'll most likely have the following:
                            • fresh poke
                            • sizzling spencer steak
                            • pork chops with mushrooms & onions (with the ketchup/worcestershire!)
                            • fried ahi
                            • soybeans
                            • and whatever the girls decide to bring out


                            And before any of you guys say "hoooo...dat LL, she can eat yeah?" That's for me and 2 of the girls.

                            For dessert? HOLUNAPE on stage!
