Not sure if I told you this story…
Pre-blog, my cousin D and I helped my Grandma put her dresser together
Somehow the kit didn't have enough nails or maybe we used too many in the wrong place, probably the latter
We needed a couple of more to finish so we went to Ace Hardware
We didn’t want to buy a big amount so I asked a grandpa working there and he said, “how many you need?”
I said, “like 2”
He said, “here” as he put 2 in my hand
I said, “how much?” and he just waved me away
We thanked him and went back to finish the dresser
Small kine shoplifting, yeah?! but we were still thankful
About a couple doors down from Grandma’s apartment was L & L
This is where D & I bought our chicken katsu for dinner.
Our favorite was from Grace’s Inn on Oahu, there used to be one in Waimalu
The sauce at L & L is their version of katsu sauce, it has a little kick
This trip home, it was nice to reconnect with this and that memory
