Glutton for Punishment

I did it. I can't help it. I have no will power. Right now, I don't even feel guilty about it because it was so tasty. What am I talking about?... McDonald's, and my lack of control when its comes to a cheeseburger and fries. Ever since I was little and I am talking 2 -years-old little, I have loved McDonald's. It's not like I ate there a lot when I was a kid. Usually it was a special treat to go. Of course, when I became a teen and took a job working at a movie theatre those special treats became a weekly thing. As an adult, I can no longer do weekly treats but I still have these spurts of going for a few times before I make myself feel bad. I know the stuff isn't good for me and I really should give it up but I can't help myself! I have seen that movie, yet the taste of salty french fries and a gooey, warm cheeseburger is engrained in my head. It's so dang good. I think those McDonald's people put crack in those burgers and fries. Because I can go a long time without some and then all the sudden I make a drive-thru visit and wham, I am hooked and I have to go five times before I get it out of my system. I even changed my route home from work to avoid seeing the golden arches. But alas, those arches are everywhere! I recently found one on my new route and I made the mistake of stopping and now if I work late and I am starving those arches look even better! Darn it!! Darn those arches! Well, I have gone and done it again tonight. My thighs will just have to forgive me. I will try again. Let's see how long it is to my next visit? Is there a 12-step program for getting off McDonald's? Cuz, I need one.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

My Favorite Gourmet Trucks

As of last night, I have now tried 18 food trucks! Only 60 more to go! My friends, Krueger and Kristy joined me at 55 Degree Wine in Atwar Village to try the always busy Grilled Cheese Truck! I have run into the truck a few times now but something has always prevented me from trying their food. Mostly the really, really long lines!! This time the hour wait wasn't so bad with two girls to gossip with. By the time we got to the front we were ready to execute our food plan. Kristy took lead and placed an order for 3 sandwiches (the brie, the mac-n-cheese and the rib meat) plus the dessert sandwich and some tator tots!!! I was a bit bummed that they didn't have the sandwich I went for, the Harvest sandwich but the 3 sandwiches we got more than made up for everything. I was glad to try this truck with 2 girls because we split the sandiches in 3rds which was awesome because I got to try a variety of their sandwiches. Now I must add the Grilled Cheese Truck to my list of fa...
