Sunday is a good day to walk on campus, and then jump in the car to go up to Manoa Marketplace for the farmers' outdoor market, and then a few doors down to the Manapua Factory shop for coconut Jin Dui (Chinese sesame balls) and mochi (pounded sticky rice balls) for breakfast with Kona coffee. Both of them had treasures of coconut at the center--so good! Also got some Dim Sum for lunch (menu here). Great cartoon on the subject from today's paper is here. Breakfast with the local paper, lunch with the New York Times. Ah, sweet Sunday.Lucky to have gone out from 7:30 to 8:45! By 10 a.m. darker and grayer clouds and stronger winds rolling in, by 10:30 a.m. driving rain so intense French doors have to be closed--far more dramatic rain than in the first week I was here. Hmmm, cancel Queen Emma Palace/Pali Lookout today?
But, at least it is cooler! The local Sunday Paper Travel Section is on . . . wait for it . . . Alaska! Talk about cool!
Asian lunch today! The potstickers were the fattest and tasiest I've ever had. The handmade soft tofu as good as always, and the Tokio flavored tea an elixir.
Clouds aren't lifting so no Tantalus or Pali lookout today, but a delicious Asian lunch sort of makes up for it.No, I didn't eat the pink-tinged frangipani on the left. The underside is a surprise! They fall face-down on the path sometimes, and they are gorgeous. Here's the paler top side.
I have to walk through the fallen blossoms on the last few feet in front of the door---tough, huh.
The Academy Awards started at 6:00, so it was popcorn for dinner tonight. And I got to watch the whole Oscars show!! It was fun this year.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHhh..... The food looks sooooooo yummy!!!!!
If it's raining where you are, is it raining everywhere else too?
The plumeria flowers are so beautiful. I think they are one of my favorites. Where are they called frangipani and where are they called plumeria? Maybe it's time to look up wikipedia.
