Remember this?
I must not be a good mom. Because those little lemons never grew up. Instead, they all dropped off. Or, the birds got them. I bought this plant from a holiday bazaar last fall. I can’t wait to go back and try to find out from the grower why fruits dropped like they did. [...]

Okay, the title is deceiving. hee!hee!
I have been ‘babying’ a plant called Meyer Lemon Tree. I bought the plant last fall. It’s about 1 foot tall when I got it. I’ve heard good things about Meyer Lemon, so I thought I’d want one. The fruits are supposed to be very sweet.
So I watched this potted [...]

Doesn’t this look like Spring?!
Okay, the photo above was taken from the Honolulu Zoo close to the Orangutan enclosure and not from around HUE-JEAN. Tropical countries like Hawaii have wild plants, flowers and the likes that look like they’re having a good time coming out of the earth. Elsewhere in the U.S. (at least in [...]

Darn that groundhog! Actually, I think it’s cruelty to animals to have a hibernating groundhog plucked from its burrow (para satisfacer a algunos ESTUPIDOS humanos tradicion) of predicting the seasons. It’s almost always, the groundhog predicts 6 more weeks of winter. It never fails!There’s a reason why: when the human official of groundhog day takes him out, what [...]

For the past two years, the family did not put up the Christmas Tree. The first year, I was just testing to see if my two boys would object and put the tree themselves. Sad to find out, they both were relying on me. So no tree.
The next year, I was just plain lazy and [...]

My Typical Summer Lunch
I bring this dish to work. It consists of salad greens topped with cold rice noodles with onion, basil, bean sprouts; and best of all…..CRISPY ROAST PORK! Oh my, I’m in such a state of swooning!
A local Vietnamese restaurant has been serving this meal forever, but I just discovered it this summer. The [...]

I am delighted to say, IT’S CHERRY PIE SEASON!
Last week, I started harvesting cherries. Look at the abundance! The fruits seem be to getting more plentiful each year. This time around I had to use a ladder to reach up the higher branches. After this initial harvest, there’s still plenty for a few more [...]
