Whether you shop at Sam’s Club, Costco, Chef Zone or Smart and Final, bulk purchases can be daunting.
Here’s a recipe to preserve a full five pounds of lemons for future use. Added benefit: the food tastes better too.
Costco and Cooking
Mostly Costco, some cooking. I’ll blog my bulk ingredient use here.
This week, Costco shut down the extra 9:00 am Hawaii Kai hour for kupuna. Next week, beginning on July 26, 2021 it plans to reverse course and reopen at 9:00 am again. According to this link: https://www.costco.com/covid-updates.html, Iwilei will have even longer opening hours, from 8:00-9:00 am on Tuesdays and […]
This past Saturday, July 25, 2020, we were expectantly preparing for Hurricane Douglas. My neighbor’s papapa tree had grown too tall, and I had promised her for some time that I’d cut it down for her. Saturday seemed like a good day. Several of the papayas on the tree were […]
Costco’s U.S. locations will close at 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. That’s two hours earlier than warehouses usually close. Stores will continue to open at their regular times. Weekend hours will not change. Costco gas stations will be shutting down at 7 p.m. everyday. Kupuna hours are available. On Tuesdays, […]

After living in a dense urban area like San Francisco, I get excited when I hear a new delivery service has opened. This week, Instacart began Oahu deliveries. Included in their delivery group, are stores such as CVS, Safeway, Foodland, Times, Petco and even Costco. The delivery price seems reasonable. […]
“I’m going to find it,” she declared emphatically I too had heard it — the day before. I thought it was just thoughtless bubul birds fighting over an overripe papaya, so I ignored the sound. Her son had heard it too, first in the morning and then throughout the day. […]
PowerStroke Electric Pressure Washer PS141912 “I use it to clean the grill” It really only took one sentence to convince me. “I use it to clean the grill.” I had been contemplating getting a pressure washer. It seemed like a great tool for concrete cleanup outdoors. I don’t know why […]
From time to time, I receive a surplus of chives from friends and neighbors. I also, from time to time, crave chive kim chee. It’s the ultimate in local smelly fermented food. Once you’ve had some, you’ll be hooked. Just make sure everyone else tries it too so that no […]
