Paleo Eats: 11/11/11 (Maui Day #7)

Man, how does a week pass by so quickly? 

For breakfast, I cooked the last of our bacon and veggies, and fried up what was left of the three dozen eggs in our fridge. I picked at the bacon while I was cooking, so by the time I thought to photograph my plate, it was already bereft of bacon.

image

The rest of our day’s eats were less than stellar because we chose proximity over quality in order to spend more time chilling in the pool.

image

We ate lunch at the poolside bar and grill…

image

image

…where I ordered an expensive bun-less burger with an extra side salad.

image

D & T have watched the kids all week while we’ve escaped to Lahaina CrossFit, so the least we could do was allow them a date night in Maui. So after a relaxing afternoon indoors, Fitbomb and I took the five – yes, FIVE – kids out to an early dinner.

image

We decided to wander down to Duke’s for supper because we could walk there and because…well…that’s the only reason, I guess.

Fitbomb and I both ordered the tasting menu ($25.95 for three courses if ordered between 4:45-5:45 p.m) just ‘cause the Asian in me can’t pass up a deal. Our eats at Duke’s were fine, but the portions were smaller than expected. And since we ate around the non-Paleo stuff on our plates, there was even less that ended up in our stomachs. 

We started with a teeny arugula salad…

image

…and a micro nicoise salad.

image

For our entrees, we got the baked fish (which came with a side of risotto)…

image

…and the petite filet. This was a case of absolute truth in advertising because the steak was indeed petite; it couldn’t have weighed more than about three ounces, even with a bunch of caramelized onions piled on top.

image

I ordered a side of macadamia nut roasted broccolini which, unfortunately, came covered in panko breading.

image

Dessert was included in our tasting menus, so at the end of the meal, the server brought over some creme brulee and sorbets. The kids half-heartedly picked at the sweets, but were too busy chatting to even bother much with dessert.

image

In the end, I can’t really complain because we were in-and-out of Duke’s in less than an hour, and back on our couch by half past six. Plus, the kids were happy as clams, and none of ’em turned to pumpkins. We’re totally thankful that D & T are total rockstar parents because their munchkins were super-well-behaved and easy to babysit. (Maybe the kids felt sorry for outnumbering us?)

Now that everyone’s tucked into bed, I’m gonna catch some zzz’s so I’ll be able to deal with the cluster-bleep at the airport tomorrow. Aloha!
