How I spent my Memorial Day weekend...

Okay, well not all of my weekend. But at least Saturday morning.
I baked a cake!
I decided to bake a cake for no other reason than I wanted to.
Just for fun.

You may ask, "Why a bathtub cake?"

The truth was, I really wanted to bake a cake in my breadpan, so once I saw the shape, I thought it resembled a bathtub. The flavor of the cake was chocolate, the frosting was vanilla buttercream and the little duck was made out of fondant.

Sushi Time!

I absolutely love sushi. I could eat it everyday and not think twice about it. But I don't.

However, I do enjoy a good sushi dinner now and then and my recent experience was amazing. A local place serves wonderful sushi at a very good price, and is quickly climbing its way to being one of my top five restaurant choices. (not an easy thing to do)
This plate contains a rainbow roll, a shrimp tempura roll and a baked hamachi roll and all of them were delicious! Just looking at the picture makes me excited and I'm already thinking of going out for sushi again instead of cooking tonight... :)

A+ for Presentation

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Hali'imaile General Store which is a beautiful restaurant here on the island.

I almost always take pictures of my food, but I was so impressed with their presentation that I made the poor hubby wait several minutes until I was done.

This was their popcorn shrimp. It was served in a to-go container with popcorn coming out of it! Adorable!
And this was their calamari platter:
Look at the large squid shaped decoration! I believe it was made out of some type phyllo dough but I can't be sure. Ab-fab!

A+ Hali'imaile. Well done.
