If you store your splatter cover inside of the microwave oven, then maybe it'll actually get used by the other people in your house and . . .

This is the last bite of a super ono snack that my sister-in-law made. I've never eaten anything like it before . . . savory, sweet, crunchy . . . so yummy.
Didi said that she wants to try and make it herself so Diem will be dropping off some of the ingredients to her this weekend.

Nana Ai Katsu moved from Ohana Marketplace to Kaimuki which is a good thing for us because they're closer now.
I'm meeting up with Lara of Hawaii Stands with Ukraine soon to donate charms and friendship bracelets for them to sell.
This was so ono that Wendell made this two days in a row. The first time was for his softball team and the second time was for us. Luckily, I had done a draft of this post earlier so it was spared from the "crash". The recipe is from the Cooking Classy site.
We met Pua about a week or so ago on one of our morning walks. I first spotted her running across the street, and it absolutely terrified me to think that she could get banged by a car.
As we approached her, I clapped my hands and called for her to come. She came right up to us with her tail wagging.
Nearby workers gave us a rope to use as a leash. We then proceeded to search for her home. With no luck and with the sun giving me heat stroke we decided to take her home.
We passed by a guard shack to a gated community on our way home, and as a last-ditch effort I approached the guard and asked if the dog looked familiar to him. He said, "She sure does!" It turns out that Pua is an escape artist, and the guard had the phone number to her owner.
We got to enjoy Pua for a little while until her owner came to get her.
No, I'm not ready to get another dog yet, but I do carry a lightweight cord with me on our walks now . . . just in case we run into Pua again.
It would've cost me $697, but because I had chosen to pay extra for Apple Care+ at the time that I bought my computer, it cost me $0. I suspect, though, that it was because I had Apple Care+, that the technician thought it was simpler to just replace the brains rather than try to figure out what the problem was.
It's totally fine with me because it's like I have a brand new computer.
Only thing . . . when the Apple people asked (in writing even) if I had backed up my computer, I said no, but that I really didn't need anything. Famous last words.
Mostly I miss my "blog" folder . . . future blog material that I had saved.
But . . . life goes on . . . and creates more blog material . . .
See you again soon.
