I know, I know… You’ve been wondering what on earth has happened to me. The short (and joyful!) answer is that we’ve been entirely absorbed in the first month’s business at our new restaurant, Kana Girl’s Hawai’ian BBQ. We’re settling into a good rhythm now, and I’m once again finding a little time to write.  So for now I’ll share the inaugural post on our “Hawai’ian BBQ Blog.”  Aloha!  :)  ~Kana

  12. I didn’t remember that you’d opened your restaurant–leafed through old posts to find a teeny reference to it. Holy Crap! That’s back-breaking, joyous work! All my good juju is zipping your way for a huge success.
