Last night I met up with Raciel and Jo Nisha for our almost yearly dinner at Back Home at Lahaina. The Boy tagged along ;)

For the past couple of weeks now, I’ve been trying to fight off a hankering for Hawaiian food. I thought having a small delicious bowl of loco moco at the Local Place last Thursday would quench it, but it only magnified my craving! Go figure. So, while chatting on AIM on Friday, Raciel and I decided, it was time to revisit Back Home at Lahaina for some yummy ono. Raciel luckily lives nearby and can have it whenever she wants, but I haven’t been back since last year, right around this time of year.. right in time for Jo Nisha’s birthday! We sent out an email to our fellow GGPH (Golden Girls Party House) member, Jo, and she was on board to get together for an early dinner on Monday evening.

Raciel celebrated our get together by wearing her Frodo shoes Vibram Five Fingers. They were pretty freakin’ cool! And I couldn’t help but start yearning for a pair myself. But I think I probably should get back into running regularly before I venture into pseudo barefoot running ;)

So, on to the food parade!

After much thought, I decided to go with the Loco Moco plate. What can I say? I’m a sucker for all things gravy and eggs. Oh, and hamburger patties are pretty darn awesome, too! Perhaps this is why I’ve hit a weight loss plateau ;)

The Boy got the Lahaina Fried Chicken, which is always total yums, flavorful and super crispy and juicy.

Raciel got a bbq pork plate and Jo enjoyed a terriyaki chicken plate. I don’t have pics of their plates because I was too busy stuffing my face at this point! haha

As always, we had an AWESOME night, filled with lots of laughter and silliness, because that’s what the GGPH does best! Be silly! We continued our tradition for taking pre- and post-botox pics (no, none of us have ever been botoxed, it’s just another one of our insane inside jokes).

But what was one of the best parts of the night?

Thanks for such a great night, ladies!
