Sunday Lisey’s boyfriend’s mom made dinner for us: chicken plus rice and beans. I got loco moco, and this version was chunks of meat in teriyaki sauce on top of rice, with an egg. Oh, and earlier in the day we got shaved ice, because of course you have to do that in Hawaii. Yep, Lisey got braces here in Hawaii!
