Below are the exact words and pictures of +Poli P 

If you drive along the coast of the island of Oahu, you’ll be able to find freshly made ahi poke at any corner store or grocery. I remember my first taste of spicy ahi poke- my wife, Sheryll, and I were driving along the North Shore. It was late at night and we were looking to catch some waves under a full moon. We pulled by a mom and pops store by the beach near Haleiwa and we picked up some ahi poke and spam musubi to go. After we hit the waves, I decided to grind on some poke and it was GOOOOOD-GRAVY-HOLY-MOLY-DELICIOUS!  I was in a different world and I licked my lips for more. It was the perfect combination of tuna and green onions marinating in soy, sesame, and spicy peppers. I don’t know how else to explain it but it was DIVINE…and it made for a perfect night out on the beach. Anyway, here’s a favorite recipe I’ve been using for some years now from this site (http://www.polynesia.com/poke.html#.UnqvP5RAjzs). It's easy, healthy, and delcious! Enjoy :)

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ahi (yellow fin tuna, sashimi grade), diced

• 1/2 cup onion, minced

• 1/4 cup green onion, minced

• 1 cup soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Add these ingredients to the mix for a spicier recipe!

to taste- Chinese chili sauce (Sriracha)

to taste- sea salt

Method:

- Add all ingredients, mix well then chill for at least 30 minutes.

- Can be served with soy sauce.

Apple and Sage Porkchops

APPLE AND SAGE PORKCHOPS

It's been a while since I have posted about food and even longer since I posted about food that I actually made!

The recipe is actually simple, its just boneless porkchops, various spices, onions and apples.

I was apprehensive at first because I really don't like my entree to be on the sweeter end, that's what dessert is for, isn't? The spices really cut the sweetness of the apple and the apple juice and makes the meat much tender!

The porkchops was great with red wine, this time a merlot and instead of my usual starch of rice, I decided to try potatoes, and that was great too.

Ha! Want the recipe?  Let me know!

It was nice to have a fancy dinner at home!

I'm going to eat my last porkchop left over.

nom nom nommm...
