Hi! Jim Cantore here with the Weather Channel. Checking the forecast here along the Road to Hana in Maui, it looks like rain throughout the day and into the evening. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for – let’s see - more rain, followed by rain throughout the rest of the week. In fact, it looks like rain every day this month. We are predicting over 150 inches of rain this year – sometimes as … [Read more...]
Thar’ She Blows
We had signed up for a sunset cruise and a whale watching excursion through the Pacific Whale Foundation on our first evening in Maui. We went one for two. There was no sunset that evening. There was a nice cloud-set, as it had been unusually overcast that day, but the sun was nowhere to be found. There were, however, whales to be watched – two adult humpback whales and one of their … [Read more...]
Flying to Hawaii
In order to get to Hawaii in a reasonable amount of time, you pretty much have to fly on a plane. The thing about flying on a plane is that the very best you can do is touch down at your intended destination on schedule with all your body parts intact. The worse thing is that the Coast Guard is out searching for Delta Flight 255’s little black box at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. … [Read more...]
Exciting Hallmark Channel Movies
Christmas season is upon us. The reason I know is that every night there are Hallmark Christmas movies on TV. If Nancy beats me to the remote control, that’s what we watch. Often, the movies are about Princes and Kings in little known European countries who end up falling for and proposing to ordinary American women who then become Princesses and Queens. And it happens almost every … [Read more...]
Hawaii Bound
We’re going again. As you read this edition of Cville Buzz, we will be on our way to Baltimore. Early, early Saturday morning we will fly the friendly skies to Salt Lake City, touch down, stretch our legs and head for Honolulu. Sometime that afternoon (who knows what time it will really be) we will board a Norwegian Cruise Ship and visit Maui, The Big Island and Kawaii. We have lots of exciting … [Read more...]
Buy More Hams
Want to really stretch your grocery budget? The Inflation Fighter (Yours Truly) says to buy and serve more hams and the best value is often the Butt Section of a Smoked Ham. A ham will feed an army. It’s pretty much all lean meat, it’s not fattening, and you can serve it numerous ways including as a meat for breakfast and super, duper sandwiches. It’s also reasonably priced - $1.79 a pound, … [Read more...]
Great Gifts – Dimmable and Rechargeable Lamps
By Nancy B Just in time for Christmas, we have these adorable Zafferano Lamps in lots of exciting colors. These are ideal for the patio because they can stay outside – even in the rain. Also, wonderful to use on the dining room table as accent lamps and of course anywhere you need some light. Just touch the top and you are rewarded with just the right amount of light. To dim, hold … [Read more...]
Chick-fil-A Sandwich (almost as good)
Sunday is often our night to order out – maybe a pizza or a fancy sandwich. When I think of a fancy sandwich, I think of a big, fat Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich. Then I remember it’s Sunday and Chick-fil-A is not a Sunday option. They value their employee’s time, and they are closed on Sundays. Good for them, but bad for me. I really wanted one of those Chick-fil-A sandwiches. … [Read more...]
Carmello’s: Consistently Good
The secret to the long-term success of any restaurant is consistency. It must be good every time. One bad experience and you go elsewhere. There are simply too many good restaurants to patronize. We have found Carmello’s Restaurant and Wine Bar to provide excellent food and service with every trip. This past weekend, we asked our friend’s, Tony and Barbara Kinn, to join us for an evening out. … [Read more...]
Golden Canary Melons
I have been trying to eat a little fruit with each meal and my favorite fruits are melons – cantaloupes and honeydews. Problem is when you buy one, odds are that it won’t be good, then you’re stuck with a tasteless melon and have to eat it anyway. So, I have been looking for sure things like Dino Melons when in season and Golden Canary Melons – a winter melon available right now. I have been … [Read more...]
