Sep 20, 2012 • One day when we were on Maui last month, we took a holo holo and picked up a bunch of treats. Our first stop was at the old time favorite Tasaka Guri Guri in Maui Mall. Guri guri is kind of like a sherbet, or a sorbet mixed with condensed milk. Guri guri has been famous on Maui for...

Sep 11, 2012 • Most of us, especially those of us of a “certain age” are sure to be familiar with Tony the Tiger. If you spent any part of your childhood watching cartoons on television, I’m sure you’ve seen him rave about frosted flakes. Tony is the childhood friend we, and even our kids all had. Last week was...

Aug 29, 2012 • Pink and Red Ginger Last month I visited the Saturday morning Honolulu Farmer’s Market at Kapiolani Community College. Unfortunately I only had about 30 minutes, so I didn’t have time to stop at every booth. I love spending hours at farmer’s markets just browsing leisurely, but I didn’t have the luxury this time. Parrot’s Beak Bright,...

Aug 21, 2012 • One of the best things I enjoy doing in Hawaii is eating all the local fruits. As you know, I’m a big fan of Hawaiian papayas, pineapples and strawberries, but dragonfruit is something relatively new to me. It’s not a fruit that was grown commercially in Hawaii until fairly recently–I don’t remember growing up eating...

Aug 17, 2012 • Ahi Katsu: Sashimi-Grade Ahi Wrapped in Nori and Deep Fried Medium Rare, with Wasabi-Ginger Sauce We met up with some friends on Oahu and had the best dinner at 3660 On the Rise. I’ve heard such good things about 3660 for years, but have never gotten to try them out until now. All I can say...

Aug 15, 2012 • In the next few posts, I’ll be sharing some of the things we did on our trip back to Hawaii a few weeks ago. We loved seeing family and friends, but we also got to play tourist and stayed a few days at this villa at the Koolina Beach Villa Resort. See all the photos...
The new Hawaiian Airlines logo blanket available for purchase ($8.00); the pillow was not available on the day of our flight. Having just flown back from Hawaii a few days ago, I was surprised to discover that Hawaiian Airlines has finally changed their menu. I first got an inkling that something was different when we...
Tonight’s great dinner idea comes straight from Tania, of MauiShopGirl. It sounded sooo good, I had to try it as soon as possible. There’s something about Portuguese sausage that makes anything with it taste delicious. Fortunately, I just happened to find the Lucini Robust Tomato Gorgonzola Sauce on sale at Bel-Air Market for $7.69. That’s...
