Hey, I know I tell you this a lot, but I love you. You're very pretty. And finally, favorite non-traditional chip flavor. Like I like honey BBQ twist fritos

I hate Fritos

Think my favorites are hawaiin style potato chips, I really like their Maui onion. They also have a mango habanero that's pretty chill but not as good. I also really love those zapps onion chips. The voodoo is good too. And all dressed ruffles.

About Gannon’s Restaurant

Voted one of the Top 100 Best Outdoor Dining Restaurants in America, Gannon’s Restaurant in Wailea is a celebration of the classic dishes for which Chef Beverly Gannon is best known from her award-winning Maui restaurants (Hali’imaile General Store and the former Joe’s Bar & Grill) and contemporary dishes inspired by the fresh local ingredients of Hawaii. The outdoor lanai features panoramic ocean views and spectacular sunsets and The Red Bar is always a lively gathering spot featuring an extended Happy Hour and live music on the weekends. Popular items at Gannon’s Restaurant include their Prawn Stuffed Crab Cakes, Cashew Crusted Mahi Mahi, Short Ribs, Loco Moco, and more.

According to these Gannon’s Maui patrons

“Happy Hour is great!! Food is delicious, had Brussel Sprouts, crab dip and Wagyu burger. Outside atmosphere and view is unbeatable.” Brad H., February 2023 “Gannon’s was recommended to us. And I’d say it was the best dining experience on our trip, hands down. Fantastic food, great drinks, attentive and friendly staff. And of course the beautiful setting. Definitely coming back.” Chris G., February 2023 “We had a large group that took some time to coordinate and Gannons was not only accommodating but flexible with us as the group increased in size. Everyone was kind and helpful from the first phone call to our last sip of wine as we departed, and you toss in great tasting food, generous portion sizes, a beautiful sunset and a place that welcomed kids, and you have achieved five stars! Thanks especially to Sidney and Cara for all of your help!” Bree L., February 2023 “Excellent sunset dinner with beautiful views of the ocean. This restaurant is located within Wailea Golf Club, which is a beautiful property overall. Friendly and attentive service from our server Cody throughout the evening along with the delicious food made for a nice memorable evening. Food quality and taste were good, as expected for a restaurant of this caliber – bbq pork ribs with slaw & pineapple salsa, Korean marinated strip loin with fried rice and cucumber pineapple salad, classic iceberg wedge salad.  Nice Asian flavors fused into the steak and ribs.  We enjoyed the dinner! Their famous coconut roulade dessert was ok- nice crumb on the cake and cream filling was good, but toasted coconut didn’t come through only plain coconut flavor. Great cocktail menu, very creative selections. Cocktails were excellent, strong, especially Mr.Tuttle and Strawberry Fizz.” Chris D., January 2023 “Gannons is an absolutely beautiful restaurant with incredible views! Perfect place to watch the sunset while you sip on Mai Tais and dine on Ahi Poke. Happy Hour options are awesome and a great price!” Amelia S., January 2023 “The concierge at our villas recommended Gannon’s for a family member’s special birthday dinner. We had delicious appetizers, main dishes, and special drinks to celebrate and enjoyed a fabulous sunset, too. Highly recommend Gannon’s.” Julie C., June 2021 Open daily, Gannon’s Restaurant is the perfect spot in Wailea for those looking for something unique and off-the-beaten-tourist-path. Happy hour at Gannon’s in Wailea takes place from 3pm-5pm Tuesday through Saturday in The Red Bar and features discounted beer, wine, cocktails, and appetizers.

if anyone else is interested bc im dumb

the lockers and notes

in order from right to left:

Varys rly likes basketball. Thats about all i can make out. Maybe theres specific sports teams referenced but i wouldnt know sorry. 

Aina and her hat. the sticky note i think says “you are STRONG”. She has heart eyes and sunglasses emoji stickers, an offbrand barbie sticker, and a sticker that says inter net in netflix font.

Lucia, of the stickers, she has a bunch of candy ones, one that references Nerds, one that references jelly belly, and one that references Atari, Im not familiar with the rest. (if you know pls share!)

Remi. Nerd.

I like to think lucia got all of them their stickers.

now inside

more basketball stuff. but also is that a dress shirt?

thermos and i assume a makeup pouch on the shelf. i assume a page torn from a magazine, a ticket to a show called SWEAT, a photo of aina with heris, fuzzy pink mirror. a picture of aina and i assume a few other friends of hers. i cant make out what the writing says on it. under it looks like an album cover of some kind, and then the division poster (not sure if its a reference or not). and then the thanks! sticker and i could just barely make out the little white sticker that i think says “After this, we’re getting cake”.

ok! lets see how many of these i can make out in order lol: Ranch Daritas (Cool Ranch Doritos), Cheetas (cheetos), Daritas red hot (Flaming hot doritos or whatever the really hot ones are called), Daritas sour cream (obvious at this point), premium potato chips (Tims potato chips. Had to look this one up a bit), Slice (?) (the closest i could come up with is deep river sweet maui onion chips), pop cookie (idk if theres a specific one), idk about the next two :( , W&W ( i think this is obvious), MilkyWay (this one is more obvious), skettles, Hyper!, Trigger (uh huh), Harmony (my fav candy bar the hersheys cookies n cream bar), idk, Crackers (those austin cheddar cheese crackers), this one just has a skull on it but its evil 5 hour energy, some mints, i think this one just says upper lol (brand looks familiar but i cant place it, and then rainbow nerds. and at the very bottom u can just kinda see raisins. hoo

remi with his horndog schtick of course with a sports illustrated cover, and then a pic of him and i assume his (now) alligator girlfriend tucked behind.

and then galos covered in matoi stickers and other things i THINK are Edo period things. I think that thing at the front is a bell? i could be entirely wrong sorry if i am. 

if you know any of the stuff i didnt know pls say! this was just a silly scavenger hunt for myself

Spring Salad with Edible Flowers Ingredients * 5 ounce clamshell pack of baby spring greens mix * 1 small sweet onion such as Vidalia Maui, or any generic sweet onion * assorted edible flowers * 1/4 cup dressing of your choice Instructions * Peel and slice the onion into paper thin rounds. The easiest way to do this is with a mandoline slicer. if you don't have one, just get them as thin as you can. Separate the rings. * Put the dressing at the bottom of a very large salad bowl. * Put the greens and onions into the bowl, but don't mix with the dressing. * Scatter the edible flowers across the top of the salad. * Bring the salad to the table and toss with the dressing just before serving. * Alternately you can serve the dressing on the side. #chai #asian #indian #gujarati #food #curry #masaladubba #spice #india #teatime #snacks #foodblogging #traditionalfood #likemamausetomake #recipekeeper #vegetarian #halal #streetfood #desserts #edibleflowers #salad #colour #texture ★* 。 ღ˛° 。* °♥ Instagram @Mustbethegenes Instagram @chai_n_chatter You Tube @safirah63 https://www.instagram.com/p/CCnLJT8Dtmi/?igshid=re2biszdxuis

RECIPE: Golden beet poke (from F*ck, That’s Delicious by Action Bronson and Rachel Wharton)

I’m a beet bitch: I love beets. They have a sweet, earthy, rustic type of emotion. Ask Mario. It’s what I always order at his restaurant Babbo—that and the octopus and five kinds of pasta. All root vegetables, really, are amazing. A few years ago, when I went to the Banzai Pipeline on the island of Oahu to do a show at the Pipe Masters surfing competition, I came home dreaming of poke. It’s a Hawaiian thing, this delicious shit you just go get at the corner store in Hawaii, with chips and Gatorade, made of cut-up chunks of raw fish usually dressed with soy sauce and green onions, but you can go from there. I was shopping at the farmers’ market the first time I ever tried to make it at home, high out of my mind, and I spotted some golden beets. I poke-ed that too, and invented some delicious shit.

Serves 2

You know the Hawaiian chef dude who always does the luaus on TV, Roy Yamaguchi? He’s the one who first put me on to this shit. But now poke is trendy—anything healthy is trendy. At the Kahuku Superette on the Kamehameha Highway in Hawaii, they serve their special poke bowls in plastic takeout containers over a pile of white rice and you eat it with wooden chopsticks, the kind you get with Chinese takeout.

1-inch piece (22 g) fresh ginger, peeled

2 green onions, trimmed and thinly sliced

½ Maui, Vidalia, or other large sweet onion, quartered and thinly sliced

2 cups (280 g) peeled, roasted golden beets cut into ¾-inch (2 cm) cubes (See note)

2–3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon cane sugar

1 tablespoon chopped medium-hot fresh chile,

such as jalapeño

1 tablespoon sesame seeds, freshly toasted, plus extra for garnish

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

½ tablespoon Japanese togarashi spice mix, or to taste

Fresh limes

Steamed white rice

Grate the ginger into a large mixing bowl. You want about 1½ tablespoons. If you don’t have a grater, just start spooning it—scraping the ginger into the bowl. It’s like juicing it at the same time. Then add the onions.

Toss the beets into the bowl and add 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, and the sesame oil, cane sugar, and chopped chile.

Give it all a nice toss, a nice mix-up, then taste. Let it sit in the icebox a little bit until it’s chilled. (The icebox is the refrigerator.)

Hit it with the toasted sesame seeds, which changes the whole complexity of the dish, right there. I like to use white and black, aka the swirl.

Get some good cilantro from the farmers’ market. Now you’re going to hit it with that. Sprinkle the bowl with togarashi, then you hit it with some lime juice to liven it up.

Adjust the seasoning to your liking, adding more soy, sugar, togarashi, and lime juice as you like, sprinkle on a few more sesame seeds, and serve over white rice.

NOTE: From about 1 pound (455 g) of beets. I know people usually don’t put olive oil on their beets when they roast them whole, but I think they get really dry otherwise. I drizzle it on and let them soak it up on the pan so as they roast it gets sticky and shit, about an hour at 400°F (205°C). Let them cool and you can just peel them with your hands. That’s why we roast golden beets; they don’t stain the hands.

This ain’t no cookbook. This ain’t no memoir. This is Action Bronson’s devotional, a book about the overwhelming power of delicious—no, f*cking amazing—food. Bronson is this era’s Homer, and F*ck, That’s Delicious is a modern-day Odyssey, replete with orgiastic recipes, world travel, siren songs, and weed.

Illustrated, packed with images, and unlike any book in the entire galaxy, Bronson’s F*ck, That’s Delicious includes 40-plus recipes inspired by his childhood, family, tours, and travels. Journey from bagels with cheese that represent familial love to the sex and Big Macs of upstate New York fat camp and ultimately to the world’s most coveted five-star temples of gastronomy. And: the tacos in LA. The best Dominican chimis. Jamaican jerk. Hand-rolled pasta from Mario. Secrets to good eating from Massimo. Meyhem Lauren’s Chicken Patty Potpie. And more! more! more!

Valentine’s Day Special ;)

Oh ho ho? What is this? Well judging by all the gaudy decor hanging around the bureau and the multitude of glittery cards and chocolate stuff under our door, it must be Valentine’s day! That’s right guys, gals, and nonbinary pals - it’s that special day and Taako has a sizzlin’ special date ;) 

...ha. Psych. 

No fucking way, man, Valentine’s day is dumb as hell. And I’m not just saying that ‘cause my date cancelled on me or some equally lame excuse. I just honestly, genuinely, don’t care. This wizard slash chef has bigger things on his metaphorical plate, thanking you VERY much.  

Also? Company parties are the pits, my guys. Like hell I’m going to that blah fest. 

Nah, boy, instead this seems like a great opportunity to chillax with my boys, throw on my comfy pants, ring of frost some sweet bevs, and kick it with a Boy’s Night In! 

And what do all good good adventure boys need for a perfect Palentines day? 

Hot diggity shit, that’s right! Today’s dish is...

PAN-TASTIC PAN PIZZA! 

Now, just so you know, this one dooooess take a bit of prep work, so be sure you either prepare in advance, or start early! 

Lessgo! 

Pizza Crust Ingredients

3 cups white flour

2 1/4 tsp active yeast

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp honey

1 cup warm water

2 tsp dried basil

2 tsp dried oregano

2 tsp dried thyme

Aight! As you know, the fundamentals of a great pizza starts with the crust. As with all Taako based adventures, this can either go wonderfully right or horribly wrong with very little in between so hopefully you don’t fuck this up. 

Start by mixing the honey and yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water. This is, like, super important- make sure the water is WARM but not boiling - you don’t want to kill the yeast. Let that brew sit for about 5 minutes, until it’s starts getting foamy. That frothy goodness means the yeast woke itself up and is going to DOWN on that sugar like Magnus on a robots arms. Well he doesn’t, like, eat the arms- well that one time he ate Merle’s crystallized arm but that was an accident. Anyways, science is going on in the bowl so let it happen man. 

Moving on - Mix all your remaining dry ingredients together in a big old mixing bowl (I highly recommend a stand mixer if you’ve got one, it’s going to make this process far less painful and much much easier, especially if you’re classed as a nonmagic loser like some sort of idiot).  

Throw in the olive oil, remaining water, and yeast mixture, and then mix it on at a low speed until it forms a ball-like-shape and stops sticking to the sides.

Transfer that glob of soon-to-be-pizza-y goodness to a floured surface! And, since it IS Valentine’s day, after all... time to get physical. 

Ah man, but not even too much. Just knead that dough for, oh, about the length of time it takes to really jam out to a Eurythmics song. Until it’s smoother than the pick up line from your unreturned dinner date invite  Merle’s balding head. Ha, sick burn. 

Now we play the waiting game - stick your dough under a cool, damp cloth for two hours until it’s risen and expanded. Someone make the weiner joke, because I’m not gonna. 

(Get it, like a boner). 

(Hehe). 

Now, trust me when I say that you don’t wants to fuck around with time magic, but for the sake of expediency and Mangus’s loudly growling tummy, I’ll go ahead and burn a spell slot to, uh, take care of that rising problem you have going on there. Snap! 

(Weiner jokes going 2/2 here. Boys’ night!)

Delightful! 

Split that sucker up into perfect personal portions! 

Of course, you don’t have to split it up, but if you’re rolling with the boner squad then this just saves time otherwise spent on arguing over topping preferences because SOME PEOPLE are wrong and don’t like FLAVOR, Magnus. 

So now we get to the, like, real cooking part! Get a cast iron skillet, or similar pan that can do some hard time in a hot hot oven. Throw a tablespoon of olive oil in there and grease it up. I know it might look like a lot, but trust me, it’ll give you that crispy, perfect crust you’ve only dreamed about baby. 

Spread the dough out in the bottom of the pan - you should be able to just do this with your fingers, but if your hands are currently suitable for squishing dough, you can use a rolling pin, war hammer, or other blunt force trauma instrument. 

(Ideally, you can fill the pan, but sometimes you and your roomies get bugged down with world-saving adventures and don’t get the dishes done, so you work with what you’ve got handy. Shrug.) 

AND NOW - TOPPINGS. I let the boys cook up their own combos, so I’ll hand it over and let you know how we each prepared our pan pies! 

TAAKO’S [actually good] Wowie Maui Pizza 

BBQ Sauce

Crushed Candied Pecans

Chopped Apples

Cream Cheese

Carmelized Onions

Minced Garlic

Grilled Chicken

Mozzerella Cheese

MERLE’S Panite Pantastic “Holy SHITtake” Pan Pizza 

Pesto sauce

Chopped black olives

Shittake Mushrooms

Fresh chopped garlic

Parsley

Gouda Cheese

Chopped Pine Nuts to finish

MAGNUS’S Mighty Meat Lovers Pizza! 

Hearty, rustic marinara sauce

Bacon bits

Shredded Beef

Pepperoni

Spicy Sausage

Mushrooms

What is, quite frankly, an alarming amount of cheddar cheese

Ranch dressing on top

Now, once you’ve got your topping on, go ahead and heat the pan up for about two minutes - this help get your crust cooking and get the pan heated up before it goes into the oven. Trust me, it’ll save you some headache and soggy dough at the end. 

Finish it off by cooking in the oven at 500F for 7 minutes! Keep an eye on, though, because when cooking at high temps, it can from perfectly cooked to “Phandlin” style cuisine in a matter of minutes. Yikes. 

Now, slice it up, kick back, put on some fantasy netflix and have a chill night in with your buds instead of spending atrocious amounts of money on overpriced steak and wine or awkwardly sipping punch and Brad Bradson’s company mixer. Yuck. Just be sure to wipe off your hands before braiding anyone’s hair (HINT). 

Enjoy, and happy Palentine’s day <3 

-Taako
