Genki Sushi

...has cupcakes?! Who knew? Seriously, who knew and didn't tell me? I rarely eat here. Maybe it's because our waitress didn't know if mochi ice cream was ice cream...she was very perplexed about it and could only offer me and my dining companions the following information about mochi ice cream---"we keep it in the fridge". Maybe she is a smart ass working here for her own amusement (much the way I blog). Nonetheless, I enjoyed a fabulous chocolate, caramel, and peanut butter cupcake after four different plates of some sort of shrimp sushi (small plates...really!). This cupcake was a Starbucks caramel macchiato disguised as a mini cake. Clearly, it was a good, unexpected day. A pedicure, is what started me walking in the right direction...and I ended up at Borders in Waikele where I met one friend intentionally and another accidentally...the result, surprise lunch gathering at Genki with two fab ladies...and a cupcake! (Good name for a new t.v. show don't ya think?) Where will these feet take me tomorrow?

Ok, Jane and I gotta have a cupcake date then! I'm not usually a huge fan of peanut butter in pastry items but it was delicious!

Pali Notches: Cloudy, Muddy, Windy, and Scary

Image
Last week I added a "notch" in my hiking/climbing belt...Pali Notches.  Here's my disclaimer: I'm not responsible for your decision to do this hike.  If you are afraid of heights, not comfortable climbing, unprepared for changing weather conditions...don't do it!  When in doubt, don't go out applies for this hike.  That being said...last week I did the scariest hike I've ever done...and I survived! If you have followed my blog for awhile, you will know that the past year my blog has been regularly dedicated to my weekly hiking adventures.  A new hike, a new post.  But, before my hiking obsession, there was a cupcake baking obsession.  A new recipe, a new post.  Clearly I'm passionate about specific things and like to share it on my blog, lucky you.  During the cupcake phase, my sporty behavior pretty much consisted of couch surfing.  So, to be hiking an average of four times a week and eating zero cupcakes...well, I've come a long way.

Mililani Exploration: Kipapa Stream Trail

Image
Learn something new everyday. Today, I learned there is a lovely neighborhood park in walking distance from my house...and a fabulous hiking trail just behind that!  Today we were finally able to go on a hike---without driving (well, sort of...more on that later). We simply geared up, walked out of our house and to a trail we'd never explored before. Adventure Saturday! Today's hike was 2.2 miles (one way) on a partially old paved road, winding around the back woods of Mililani, down to Kipapa Stream, back up to...Costco in Waipio. Say what? We truly had not planned on arriving on the oustskirts of a farm that is directly across from our local Costco. Hiking truly lands you in the most unexpected places.   Along our route we encountered dirt bikers, a small band of pre-teen scooter riders, a couple of farm hands in a truck, a very intimidating junkyard dog, zero other hikers, and a friendly Starbucks Barista.  That's right, after our Saturday surprise hiking adventure, we f

Shameless Plug...

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?
