Sugar Week 2011 has officially come to an end. It’s hard cutting the chord, but I do where bikini’s on a regular basis and feel that for that sake of my waistline, this consumption needs to stop. With at least one festival going on a week somewhere in Maui however, cutting this chord has proven to be difficult.
Yesterday, before cleaning the day away at an ex-Fab Four members vacation home (which I’m once again DYING to talk about but can’t for privacy matters….) we made a clear break in our schedule for the Spring Festival at the Hana School. The School in Hana is all open, with each class room’s door going outside, not to a hallway. It’s a great set up, but I can imagine it being very distracting for all those little day dreaming children looking out to a shimmering ocean instead of a chalk board. The towns public library is also on the school’s grounds, which Chelsea and I discovered the other day; it has celebrity magazines (my guilty pleasure) and air conditioning, enough said. Anyways, the school hosts this annual festival on their campus, and we heard there was to be a bake sale at this lovely gathering (which served a pork dish of some sort that appears at EVERY Hawaiian gathering) and arrived right as it started. Being the punctual farmers that we are, we arrived even before the baked goods arrived, waited patiently (Chelsea excluded,) loaded up on strawberry cup cakes and the like and headed off to clean for the wealthy…
To make matters worse, Larissa went out with a bang by splurging on a tube of delicious chocolate macadamia nut ice cream (putting our last cheesecake to shame,) which the three of us devoured in one sitting. This of course was after one last round of banana peanut butter shakes as the beloved blender unfortunately leaves tomorrow with Larissa....I know you’re probably thinking all we do is eat sweets or think about eating sweets, but there was just something about this past week where occasions for such gorges kept popping up. Larissa leaves us after a short stay tomorrow morning, as she heads to another part of Maui for Massage Therapy School….We’re losin’ another good one…But this sugar intake just needs to stop.
That’s all for now, no more food talk after today, I promise.
Aloha!
