Reflections…
It’s been a year since the accident. I’m rejoicing in today, because somebody once told me, when the day comes, think of it as the day you didn’t die. It’s been a long year. I started it off with four brain surgeries. I remember waking up from one surgery and my abdomen hurt. My husband … Continue reading
personal…
Okay, I’m gonna get personal here. I haven’t posted in over eight months, and there’s a big reason. In November 2010, I was on the way home with my hubby. We watched Cirque du Soleil and had dinner with my cousin, Bi. A car hit us. I don’t remember anything after that, but my husband … Continue reading
Pumpkin Milkshakes + Homemade Pumpkin Puree
Inspired by Monica’s guest post on Pumpkin Palette Pleasers, I set out to make a few new dishes with pumpkin as the main feature. Seeking convenience over making it from scratch, I became a little miffed that two out of two grocery stores I visited ran out of pumpkin puree (there was “pumpkin pie filling,” … Continue reading
A little bit of spice…makes everything nice!
Clockwise from top: Pink peppercorns, turmeric, fennel seed, lemongrass Is your cooking getting boring? Are you rotating the same old recipes day in and day out, and feeling *eh* once you place the meal upon the dinner table? Well, I’m here to help a sistah (or brother) out. We all feel cooks’ fatigue from time … Continue reading
Tokyo Trip Part Two: Sushi, Izakaya, and More Noodles!

P and I have planned this trip for awhile now, and there was no way we were going to miss the Tsukiji Fish Market and auction, the largest … Continue reading
The Winners of Round One: Guess that Food!
Remember this picture? It’s not a grape (although after some of your comments, I will be at least giving you a hint on the size of the thing, because this can definitely pass as a grape!), and it’s not a passion fruit, it’s a…… *ahem*…its a… STAR APPLE!!!! Pretty wacky huh? Growing up, I’ve just … Continue reading
Let’s Play! Round One of the Guessing Game!
For the next four weeks, I’ll be posting up a picture of something that I’ve picked here in Hawaii, and I won’t tell you what it is. Your job will be to post a comment on what you think it might be, and if you’re right, your name will be entered in to win a … Continue reading
My Greenwell Farms Kona Coffee Buzz
We flew to Kona on the Big Island this past weekend, and being the coffee lover that I am, could not pass up the chance of visiting one of the many coffee farms this side of the island. So I dragged P along for the ride, ending up at Greenwell Farms, located in Kealakekua, near … Continue reading
Food for Thought: Organics and the Dirty Dozen
An afternoon snack – organic plain yogurt, organic frozen berries, sliced almonds, and a drizzle of raw Lehua honey from Hilo, Hawaii What choices do you make when you’re in the grocery store? Do you mainly shop the perimeter, to avoid the junk and snack food aisles in the middle? Do you look at the … Continue reading
