Snickerdoodle and Red Velvet Cream Cheese Swirl

Clearly I'm off my rocker. Who else drives into town from Mililani twice in one week for some cupcakes. I mean, I could bake some for myself. These are better though. Look how fancy. Days off from work are obviously dangerous for me. Death by cupcake. I also thought I might be mugged in Chinatown. On the way there, I would have had to fend off my attacker with my favorite handbag. And on the way back, I would have had to decide between physical harm and dropping my box of cupcakes (clearly I would not be dropping any cupcakes). Thankfully, neither scenario occurred, but my imagination ran wild when as I slipped the car into the parking spot (yay me, first try in a tight spot, parallel parking), a shirtless, toothless, dirty, and crazed individual immediately began eyeing me and the car...not in an "aloha" kind of way. But, since I was determined to get some fresh baked cupcakes, I decided to ignore what otherwise screamed danger. Living life on the edge...and enjoying my second cupcake of the day. The dense soft cake topped with sweet fluffy frosting? Totally worth risking life and limb...literally. Happy Friday...the 13th.

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

Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail

Lost in Paradise is how I would describe yesterday's beach/forest trail that led us past crabs climbing on rocks, mongoose dashing across the trail, horses around the stables, a lone Pillbox, and finally to an iconic Banyan Tree famous for recurring roles in the television series "Lost" and an appearance in "Pirates of the Caribbean". My mother-in-law was on island visiting for a week, so Marina, Sarah, and I took her on a hiking adventure...followed up by a thirst quenching Bacon Basil Bloody Mary.  I have previously explored trails with my mother-in-law.  We have trekked through mud and mosquitos at Manoa Falls, walked up a windy Makapu'u, huffed up Hau'ula Loop, strolled the North Shore's Waimea Falls and Kahuku Point.  So, this visit was no different.  We found ourselves hiking pals again for two separate trails this trip, the Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail being the best of the two. This trail begins in the far corner of the Turt

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?
