Life in Hawaii through the perspective of the plate lunch. The Plate Lunch as served by Honolulu Mark is a mixed plate metaphor for the way people, their stories and their food, come together on one plate to make Hawaii paradise. Honolulu Mark has returned home to his Hawaii roots but eats, shoots and leaves extend to my second home, Seattle.

Winter dish ideas: Skagit River Ranch pork
The folks at Skagit River Ranch bring into the Farmers' Markets some of the tastiest cuts of meat in town. I brought home a couple of thick-cut pork chops and a package of their breakfast sausage links.
Nothing fancy here. I just seasoned the chops with sea salt and cracked pepper trio (black, green and red), got a golden, crispy crust on them in extra virgin olive oil and them finished them in the oven. With the drippings, I made a reduction sauce with fresh squeezed lemon juice and a handful of fresh sage leaves. For the links, I just fried them up with onions and lots of garlic.
Tip: The Splendid Table has all you need to know about a basic reduction sauce.
