Craziness?!
What kind of craziness is this?!
Installing Windows on a Mac using the Parallels Desktop for Mac. Now that’s just wrong!

Word of the Day: Antediluvian
Antediluvian – of or belonging to the time before the biblical Flood. Outdated, outmoded, old-fashioned, antiquated, behind the times.
Example. Wayne’s World marveled at the local companies offering free WiFi access. “How very progressive,” he thought, “not antediluvian at all.”
Word of the Day: Supplication
Supplication – a prayer asking God’s help as part of a religious service. A humble request for help from someone in authority.
Example. Rather than relying on his sangfroid during his annual evaluation review, the Tabasco Man took the route of supplication with his manager.
Pictured the Tabasco Man supplicating.
Crazy for Potato Heads!
While in the Armpit of Cali, I was reintroduced to the fun of Mr. Potato Head. Since then, I’ve been having some fun building spuds. We even picked up a bucket of Potato Head parts as a starter kit.
Fun!

Word of the Day: Genuflect
Genuflect – lower one’s body briefly by bending one knee to the ground, typically in worship or as a sign of respect.
Example: After hearing of Takeru Kobayashi’s sixth straight victory at the International Hot Dog Eating Contest, the Tabasco Man genuflected and became motivated to participate in our own Eating Contest.
La Palme Dor Patisserie
Heard a new dessert shop, La Palme Dor Patisserie, opened up next to Shirokiya in Ala Moana Center. Finding it was tricky since it’s facing the parking lot along with a few other small stores.
The store is nicely decorated and the treats look great in the glass case. So many varieties, and the recently-opened store isn’t even in full swing yet.
I tried a coffee dessert that was pretty good. Cost was $4 which is on the high side, especially since the bakery in Shirokiya is right next door. But the desserts at La Palme Dor are the kind of stuff you’d expect at a sitdown restaurant so the $4 price tag really isn’t that bad. Also compare that price with a single scoop of ice cream at the new Ben & Jerry’s at Ward. If you had to, what would you rather spend your $4 on?
La pictures of La Palme Dor are overdor.

I Can Fix It!
I think that’s what Bob the Builder says anyways. Looks like my iWeb sites are sorta working so I can post multiple images on a web page now.
Lesson learned is to follow the given instructions.
Ben & Jerry’s Grand Opening
Saw a news clip about the grand opening of the first Ben & Jerry’s ice cream store in Hawaii at the Victoria Ward Centre. Happened to be in the Ward area when the store opened at 11AM. First 50 through the door got free ice cream. Local news stations were there covering the grand opening although I didn’t recognize any of the reporters.
As the 28th customer, I got the Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz which was okay. Regular items are pricey. A single scoop of ice cream goes for $4. Can’t you get a pint of Ben & Jerry’s at the supermarket for that cost?
Will this place survive? Location is kinda out of the way by Borders, Kicks Hawaii, and the construction. Also, Coldstone is right down the street and is closer to the movie theaters to catch the moviegoers.
Of course, I got a few pictures. No great shots though.
What the Tabasco Man Needs
Found these while eating at the Fig Garden Village while in the Armpit of Cali. These Tabasco packets are exactly what the Tabasco Man needs instead of carrying around his own bottle. Unless of course, he needs a handful to spice up his meals then maybe he should stick with his own bottle(s).
