I'll try to catch up.

I've been slacking on my blogging. I think I will start up here by using this one to comment on things I've done. Maybe working in both directions for the time being(into the past as well as things of the present.)

I went to Cheese Cake Factory in Waikiki. The last time I went was a while ago. I don't venture into Waikiki too often so the last time I went to the Cheese Cake Factory(Waikiki) I remember them being just okay, and the wait was really long. It was when they were fairly new so I thought the wait was understandable. But I did not feel the need to return.

So why did I go back? We has a Gift card. I admit choosing a weekend during dinner time was not a wise idea. There was a line to the Host counter. When we reached the front after what seemed like 10 minutes, we were told the wait was 90 minutes. I said okay, thinking we drove all the way down there, had a gift card... So we were told to come back in 30 minutes at which point we would be given a pager.

Feeling hungry and a little tired I didn't want to go far since in 30 minutes one of use would have to come back to grab a pager. Starbuck's was on the opposite of side of the shopping complex, so I was hesitant to walk so far just for a caffeine pick me up. My friend wanted a to go to get a frap, so we started on the trek. We left the others to wait in line to get a pager.

On the way to get the frap, I was pleased to see a Panya. I was excited to not have to walk so far and get a Thai coffee, what better than a Panya thai with its two shots of expresso. It quickly turned into disappointment. They are not a full coffee bar at the RHSC and had no Thai coffee. The coffee guy was nice enough to try and make me an imitation thai coffee. Lacking in a true thai coffee flavor, as well as just being a milk coffee it worked in giving me a boost to endure the long wait for cheesecake.

When we did get seated, we already knew what we wanted since we had lots of time to stare at a menu, while we waited for our pager to go off. I got the herb roasted chicken. I liked my mashed potatoes and after thinking it over ate the drumstick on my plate which was good. I got the rest of my meal boxed, which was a three pieces of chicken, half my mash, and 1/3 of my carrots. I got the Dulce de Leche caramel cheesecake with coffee. I found the meal to be much better than I remember than last time. But maybe it was because the wait was shorter and I had a Panya coffee.
