Impossibles Pizza

Most lunch wagon food here is usually "local kine".  Now on the North Shore there is

something different...Pizza!  I think the name is funny "Impossibles Pizza".

They usually move around to different areas from Sunset to Haleiwa.  Something to do with a law

and staying in a spot for too long.  You can call and order your custom pizza and go and pick it up at

the spot they say.  Really is a great idea.  I don't think they're around every day, but well worth

a stop if you see them.

These were taken when they were parked at Sharks Cove.

(I just found these pictures when I was looking for something else)

Many, many months ago our dear friend Peg called and was asking me about some hotels, etc for August in Waikiki.  As it got closer to the time and during one of our phone conversations, I realized she wasn't coming with her sister but her "special" friend, David. 

So hubby and I went to pick them up (after about a two hour delay leaving LAX).  While waiting for their bags, Peg asked me to save a date in February 2011. Needless to say this was all very exciting!!!

 So while they were here, hubby and I (mostly me) made a lot of trips into Waikiki.  As part of the whole Waikiki experience we ate Hula Pie on the beach.  We couldn't even remember the last time we had done that!

 We went to some of our favorite places, the Counter, which he said was the "best burger he'd ever had". David was game for anything!  That made it so fun.

 Unfortunately, they also spent what seemed like a lot of time at Straub Hospital. 

I had to take a picture, even though it does look like their having way too much fun!

 For my birthday we went to The Willows.  Had a great dinner.  During their stay here in Hawaii, hubby and I were trying to convince them to just go ahead and get married here.  So much cheaper, they were already here, etc, etc, etc.  One of their kids had wanted them to wait a year!!!! What? When you're our ages, a year is way too long to wait for anything!

So at the Willows they pretended to "tie the knot".  Peg and I planned a way to put it on Facebook that we know probably gave the girls a fright!

Congrats Peg and David, we can't wait for the "real" deal.

Lunch Wagon or Lunch Car Food...

We've all seen lunch wagons pull up to construction sites or office buildings on the mainland. Here in Hawaii, the wagons or in some cases cars, park and people come to them. I've been taking pictures for a while now of this unique Hawaiian custom. I just realized that I've got pictures from pretty much the four sides of Oahu.
This is by no means ALL of the lunch wagons that are around, only a very small sampling.

Every time I go by one of these places, there are lines. Most of them serve up the traditional plate lunch...2 scoops rice, mac salad and some kind of meat. Always have fruit punch to wash it down.

I know that a lot of tourist will stop at the shrimp trucks, but these other places are just as good. So if you want some "real" local food, stop at a lunch wagon and order the special plate of the day. I'll guarantee it's probably "broke da mouth" good!
