Fried Pie Paradise


One of the many things that I obsess about are McDonald's fried pies.  There's a whole generation of young people who have no idea that McDonald's used to sell apple and cherry (my favorite) pies that were fried rather than baked (like they are now).  The crust was light and crispy and perfect, unlike the occasional offerings at the other chain restaurants.  There are a few McDonald's locations in southern California that still sell the fried pies, but I have yet to come across them in my travels.  In Hawaii, the McDonald's pies are still fried!

Hawaii: Best Vacation Ever!


My husband and I recently took a trip of a lifetime to Oahu.  The eight days just flew by while we relaxed at Waikiki Beach and Hanauma Bay, took romantic walks along the beach, watched dolphins, went kayaking and snorkeling, toured movie locations, ate wonderful food, sipped pina coladas under palm trees, and made friends for life.

Look how clear the water is.
