posted on 16 May 2012, 9:27 am
The fresh fruit on Kauai is bountiful. Half the point of going to a farmers' market was to try fruit that was totally foreign to us. We had fun in other ways, too - drinking Mai Tais in the rain, pretending to be eaten by dinosaurs, and taking pictures with funny props. ...

My Mom Got a Herbie Tattoo
posted on 15 May 2012, 6:00 am
For several years now my mom's been saying she wanted to get a tattoo -- a hummingbird -- because she liked them so much. BUT every time she was visiting me, and I'd find a tattoo shop for her to get it done at (because she insisted I had to be there), she would chicken out....

posted on 14 May 2012, 10:14 am
Kauai is an island. Duh. I'm sure you knew that already. But the best part about visiting an island is the water. The water surrounding Kauai was gorgeous, but moody; aquamarine liquid that glistened in the sunlight but raced toward the shore under the moon. It was powerful ...

You've got questions, I've got answers! 1. I was looking at the Pineapple Sponge Cake recipes on Pg. 256 in EHH, and was wondering why you call for canned pineapple rings instead of canned crushed pineapple when you end up crushing them anyway? The pineapple rings come wit...
