As part of our anniversary getaway to the south of Kona, we decided to tour a coffee farm.

September 15, 2009

Years before we moved to Hawaii we heard about the Honolulu Coffee Company from our friend Rick. “They serve your coffee in a real mug!” he would always tell us. And they certainly do. Look at this beauty of a presentation for my breve latte.

August 31, 2009

The lesson for today is that no matter what, your stamp must be on the very outside of any package you send, or it will be null and void. What? Are you serious?

Is it Really More Fun to Try Something New?

August 29, 2009
