One of my readers gave me a little wall graffiti on Facebook asking when the heck I was going to start posting again, so I figured, time to pick up the old WordPress pen again! The last few days have been ones of recovery for me. A crazy five days of backbreaking work started last [...]

Vegas and the Twilight Slowpoke

July 27, 2009 Garden

Just to warn people, this blog post is going to be epicly long. As people that follow me on Twitter know, I haven’t been posting because I had to take a trip up to Vegas last weekend with my brother to visit my mom, who was feeling down and out and lonely. I spent four [...]

Lasagna Bento, Garden Update, and Cake Pix

May 21, 2009 Garden

Since I made two trays of lasagna for dinner for Baby Girl’s birthday, we ate that for dinner again last night and I have even more of it for lunch today. It’s kinda funny how she’s mirroring my childhood likes. She has the same favorite color I did as a kid and the same favorite [...]

Garden Update

October 17, 2008 Garden

Garden Update

September 17, 2008 Garden

Yesterday Mr. Pikko had Libby’s manapua (DA best!) and pork hash and it was soooooo good. Seriously, if you ever want THE best manapua on the island, Libby’s in Kalihi is the place to go. I haven’t had theirs in a while, but damn it tasted GOOD. I took one for my lunch today, but [...]

Mr. Pikko has done something to my wild tomato plant in the yard, but what is it and what does it mean?? And just what exactly is the Brownie of Doom and why is it called that?

Pork Tofu Bento (202)

April 7, 2008 Garden

With Mr. Pikko and Baby Girl off to a lesson on Saturday, I trucked Buddy off to the supermarket to buy vegetables for my soup. I ended up trying the first Garden Vegetable Soup recipe I found. Though I didn’t need any, Buddy would not stop furiously pointing at the “brokko zee” until I picked [...]

Happy Easter!

March 23, 2008 Garden

I had a rather hectic weekend with a lot of things to do ahead of time for Easter. Add in the fact that my two little devils very thoroughly went through all of our belongings, making sure that every last thing was out of place or ripped to shreds. I did a lot of really [...]
