My three sons...

Listen,
Well we found out that baby boy #3 is on his way...  We are open to suggestions for names. 
Now I must sleep

Tomorrow is a pretty big day...

Listen,

For those who do not yet know, my wife is pregnant.  Yes, Hana is pregnant.  I am not sure how it happened, but my dad promised to explain it to me.  I think she ate some food off my plate a few months ago... I don't know.  Tomorrow we get to find out what we are having.  I have my suspicions that it will likely be a human child, but Hana has been reading a lot of Vampire books lately, so who knows what we are in for.   We asked Brady if he wanted a bother or a sister and he decided that he would prefer a sister because "Evan is mean."  Evan likes to tackle things.  He'll tackle just about anything; the cats, Brady, Hana, me, you name it, he will tackle it.  I think he has attempted to tackle his own shadow a few times even.  That is one rough kid.

In other news, I went and tried another new hamburger place in Sugarhouse.  It is called SmashBurger.  Dang tasty burger.  Kinda pricey though... it cost me and me alone over $11 to eat there.  I'd give a full review, but I am just too tired.  I think I still prefer Five Guys' Burger, but I prefer SmashBurger's "Smash Fries" which are tossed with olive oil, rosemary and garlic... very good indeed. 

Anyway, guess that is all for now.  I'll try to post the big news tomorrow if not then on Thursday for sure.

Oh one last thing... If you have not seen The Fantastic Mr. Fox yet, do yourself a favor and watch it.  I really enjoyed it and so did Brady...

Mo' Bettah Steaks

Listen,

This is not a food blog, but it is a Bob blog and food is very important to me; probably more important that it should be.  Well, we decided to go try a new restaurant last night and it has cracked the top 10.  I have been hearing advertisements for a new Hawaiian  place called Mo' Bettah Steaks on sports radio.  I LOVE Hawaiian-style plate lunch so we gave it a try.  This place is freaking amazing.  Hana shared the teriyaki steak plate with the E-Train and I had shared my Ekolu Special Plate with Brady-wan.  The Ekolu Special has teriyaki steak, teriyaki chicken and kalua pig.  Their plates are served like any other Hawaiian plate lunch with rice and macaroni salad.  The steak and chicken were tender and juicy and the kalua pig was amazing, not too wet and not too dry.  Their teriyaki sauce is very tasty and the amount of ginger gives if a nice kick. 

 

Maybe even better than their food is the authentic shave ice that they also have for dessert!!!  They will even put a scoop of vanilla ice cream and/or azuki beans in the bottom and top it off with sweetened condensed milk.  The only thing better would have been macadamia nut ice cream, but that would be too good to be true.  They have 28 flavors and let you pick up to 3!  Brady was shaking with excitement as we watched them create his giant shave ice.  The crazy kid ate almost the whole thing.  I don't think I've ever seen him so excited about something non-Star Wars before in my life.  He was possessed. 

 

Simply put, you must go try this place.  It is fan-freaking-tastic.  And lucky me, I have left-overs for lunch today!
