Amazon Recommended?!?
Ha, I don’t know what I bought to get these recommendations from Amazon. What an eclectic mix – a cigarette lighter, instant ramen, and um… a fishnet bodysuit?!
Forget the Frap, Just the Tunes
Forget buying a Starbucks Frappuccino in order to get a summer sampler of songs. You can now get the songs sans the Frap. Starting on June 6, any Frappuccino indulgence indulged you with 10 free songs for summer. Now, you can just pickup a card with the code for the tunes or if you’re in the store, hop on their WiFi and download right then and there.
Thanks Starbucks (and iTunes)!
Off My Game
Was off my game yesterday. After spending hours looking at different lighting options at Dial Electric (next to Marukai), I must have been overwhelmed. I don’t have a single picture of any of the lights we looked at. 🙁
Thanks to Kerri for her help and lighting advice.
The Best Tacos in Fresno
If you’re looking for the best tacos in Fresno, where would you go? To Chris Meat Market.
You know it means something when patrons comment on not being panhandled for money as a positive when visiting the Meat Market. So what can you expect? Cheap ($1.50) but very tasty tacos! Cash only please.
We had three tacos – carnitas, chicken, and chorizo. These were all in small corn tortillas with the protein chopped and prepped when ordered. Each taco had some zing to it but surprisingly, the chicken taco was the spiciest.
Washed all this down with some grapefruit soda.
Outside seating is available for eating but just a warning that you probably will be approached by panhandlers so takeout is highly recommended.
What Is This?
Dear readers, need some help identifying this item. We think it’s baby-related but can’t figure out what it actually is.
Since this item now belongs to an newly expecting couple, I told them it was a breast pump. 😉
What’s More Incredible Than Incredible?
It has to be the Incredible 2 powered by HTC and Droid. I mean, if being Incredible isn’t enough, being Incredible 2 must be even more incredible right?? Now that’s incredible!
While Apple product names are boring ala iPhone, iPod, iPad, at least there’s no sense of hyperbole with incremented names (e.g. iPhone 3, 4, 5).
First Stop: Grocery Shopping
One of the first stops is to stock up on food supplies and to see what new items may find its way to Hawaii.
I saw quite a few different Doritos flavors which seem targeted at the local demographic, so I doubt they’ll hit the islands. Canned coffee and espresso drinks are back to Trader Joe’s. I remember Trader Joes’s used to have these canned drinks, but in recent years, I hadn’t seen them. They’re back now. I was told La Creme natural creamer was already available in Hawaii (and has an unusual taste) after I purchased a bottle. Yes, for a natural diary creamer, my expectation of La Creme didn’t match up. Maybe I’m just used to fake, artificial non-diary creamers.
Design Tips from Hilton Los Angeles
An unplanned overnight layover in Los Angeles was not welcomed but a stay in the Hilton Los Angeles provided these design tips.
More Creamer Crowds
Wow, I thought the coffee creamer market was already crowded, but it got even more crowdeder. Beyond its recent Cafe Collection line, Coffee-mate also has it all-natural creamer, Natural Bliss, featuring real milk and cream. Three flavors are available – vanilla, caramel, and sorry, forgot the third.
With all its naturalness, I hope Natural Bliss isn’t like the off-tasting La Creme.  Found Natural Bliss at Safeway in Hawaii.
You Know You From Hawaii…
You know you from Hawaii when you bring spam musubi for lunch at Shaver Lake.
