Monkeypod With A Couple Of Monkeys

...and a potato head. Thank goodness. The potato saved our lives. Or at least our dinner. Potato provisions provided by the restaurant. First star earned. You made my kid quiet and happy. Second star earned with the delectable dessert you see below. But I have skipped a few things in between potato heads and pies.
 

Like the fish and chips my pirate enjoyed. And the ginger beer I gulped down. Not pictured and not alcoholic. 

And the fries. I thought it might be weird eating them in front of Mr. Potato Head, turns out I was wrong. 

And the caramelized onion, pine nut, and butternut squash pizza. There's no leftovers.

And who could leave out the poke mini tacos? What are we up to now? Six stars? Well, it was a treat trying this new to us restaurant out. Stunning views of both sunset and the moon. A charming live performer who switched songs from artists like Train to CeeLo Green to The Police with ease. 

Vacationing, staycationing, or just Westside dwellers, I recommend checking out The Monkeypod Kitchen. There is something for everyone on the menu. The waiter named Josh will serve you up manners, charm and ono food. Your wallet may miss some bills but the foodsperience is worth it. If major(s) monkeys can do it. You can too.

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?
