Rule, Britannia!

Just snapping a picture as I wait for the bus after volunteering at church. I probably shouldn't have taken the picture from this angle. It makes me look bald and like I have more chins than I do.

Whip It Good!

Have you ever had Dole Whip at a Disney Park?  You know no trip to a Disney Park is complete without having some. So I was excited to see you can buy the mix online straight from Hawaii!!!

What's great about Dole Whip, other than the fresh taste is the fresh taste. Did I already mention that? Oh. What I meant was it's also:  

• Lactose Free 
• Cholesterol Free 
• Low Fat 
• Shelf Stable

The downside is it only comes in a 4-lb bag, but it's worth it! You may need to do a test run with your ice cream maker and ingredients, but I've learned that using pineapple juice and whipping cream makes the Dole Whip more creamy. Using non-fat milk makes it runny.

The Force is Strong with This One

Thanks to eBay, I have one of 1,999 of these awesome iPhone cases sold during Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida this year. I'm using this one for my work iPhone with Star Wars ringtones!

Mother's Day 2012

Due to my schedule, I couldn't go see my parents for my Mom's birthday on Cinco de Mayo, but going to see them for Mother's Day worked out just fine. Love you both very much!!!

What's Cookin'?

It may be April 1st, but this is no joke. I love the Crab Cooker! My parents and I used to go all the time. I grew up on both locations (Newport Beach and Tustin), and because we were heading to Laguna Beach to do some art shopping today, we decided to hit the Newport Beach location.

There was a little bit of a line, but no big deal and certainly worth the wait. As we were waiting, this East Coast couple (not a slam, but that's where they were from) just cut in front of everyone and went to the head of the line. Being the shy, soft-spoken person that I am, I said in a not-so-quiet voice, "What makes you any better than the rest of us to wait in line?"

I was shocked (not really) that they heard me, but the woman had the audacity to get in an arguing match with me. Well, I let have at it, and let's just say they decided to eat elsewhere. No one stands between me and my Manhattan Clam Chowder and fresh fish!

What a Stitch!

The last full day of vacation, so I had to have a Disney character breakfast. Here I am with Stitch!

Maui Hawaiian BBQ

I've been going here for years, and used to bring my parents here when they still lived in California. Whenever I'm able, I have to stop by at the Fullerton location. The food is phenomenal, the portions are more than generous, and the value is spectacular for all you get. Yes, I'm a fan!


What you see here is a combination plate, with Kalbi short ribs and Hawaiian BBQ chicken. Don't forget the awesome sauces too! You also get rice and macaroni salad too. This is enough for two meals!

Check it out and I give it five stars on Yelp!
