I’m looking at one more week of tough work. Then, perhaps some time for relaxing and back to normal posting. Took a few minutes to go outside and watch the sunset tonight.

I made a doctor’s appointment today for Dec. 28th. I haven’t been in sometime. I think 9/2007 was the last time I’ve been. I know… bad. However, I’m taking care of that now. I post it here, as the blog is easily searchable.

Paparoni’s Pizza is one of those businesses you always drive by and wonder why you never stop there. This little eatery is located just across the street from the Captain Cook fire station, and always seems to be advertising some pizza/beer special.

Craving pizza, after grocery shopping at the near by Choice Mart, we decided to give Paparoni’s a try.

I was in the mood for breadsticks, and decided to try their “pink sauce” which turned out to be a mix of fresh tomato sauce and their cream sauce. It made for a nice light sauce, not too thick or creamy, but then again this isn’t the normal sauce they offer as a dipping sauce. I could see how this was more of a nice light pasta sauce. What can I say I wanted to try something different.

Originally, we only wanted a small two topping pizza, but the specials made it cheaper to get a larger pizza with more toppings.

We opted for the Hau’oli Hawaiian, which normally has Canadian Bacon, Pineapple, and Tomatoes. However, the were out of tomatoes and offered extra pineapple.

The crust was think, a little too yeasty for my taste, but still good. They do make a lovely pizza sauce, and the pineapple was freshly cut and sweet. Topping were generous for the price.

Service was fast and very friendly. Overall, Paparoni’s was an enjoyable dining experience.

I finally had the opportunity to put my new underwater housing
in the water. I wasn’t able to actually get in the water, and thus this is the photo you get. I took this photo by dunking the camera in tide pool at Honu’apo. Not the best photo, but I was able to get a feel for the camera in the housing. I now have swimming attire, and hope to get into the water near one of the surf spots shortly.
