Grace Art Watercolor Brushes

Watercolor brushes can be expensive. YouTuber Denise Soden mentioned a bargain set in a video showing her favorite brushes. 



I was curious so I ordered it. The pack of 12 brushes is made by Grace Art and was only $7.50 on Amazon.


So far, I like it a lot, especially at 65 cents each!

Dave's Killer Bread

This is my favorite bread . . . Dave's Killer Bread . . . 21 Whole Grains and Seeds, organic and thin sliced. 

Cofounder Dave Dahl spent 15 years in prison before joining the family's bakery business where he eventually created Dave's Killer Bread.  You can read his story here in a Forbes article.



I like the thinness.


This is my favorite way to eat it. 

Mana Musubi

It's true. They're open again! Hoo hoo!!



I went there on Thursday at around 10:15 a.m., and there was still a good supply of musubi left, but the sides were pretty much all gone.






As soon as I got into the car I busted open a tuna/mayo, my favorite. I really enjoyed it, but to be honest, it coulda used a tad more salt. Still, I'm so happy that they're open again.

Domino's Extravaganza Pizza

I admit it. I'm only a sometimes vegetarian. Certain foods have made their way back onto my plate.

And one of them is Domino's Extravaganza Pizza!!!


Wendell brought one home last weekend, and we liked it so much that we decided to go to Domino's today to try it right out of the oven. 


It was gooooood. We like the thin crust. The large is $21.


Here are the current deals.

Manabu Musubi Open Again?

Long story short. I emailed Manabu and told him that I missed his musubi. His response confused me. It seemed that he thought that I missed the QUALITY of HIS musubi, and not that I missed the musubi because the place had closed.

So I researched online.

Wait. What? They reopened in May? No, not in May?  In November? Under new name Mana Musubi?

But every time I drove pass before it looked closed . . . still.

Yet, here is the latest Yelp review by Clifton C. dated 12/21/2019:

I am so happy Mana Musubi has finally reopened.  The musubi is even better tasting than before.  I recommend getting here early as they sell out quickly.  Their Spam and Egg Musubi is one of my favorites and is the perfect breakfast for me.  They open at 6:30am.  The Spam & Egg Musubi used to be available at 7:30am.  Since their reopening, it's now available at 6:30am.  There is a large variety of delicious Musubi available as well as a few side Okazuya items.  Service is friendly.  It's a nice way to start your morning by stopping here.


So, they're open again? I'll try check it out today.

Addendum:  Didn't get to go today. Ran out of time. Gotta try anada day.

Happy 2020 Peoples!!!!

Time is whizzing by so fast, yah! Sorry for being lazy to post recently. Thanks for sticking around anyway. I wish you all da good things in the coming year. 

I felt like I had to post some kind of picture, so here's Kona wearing a soft cone to prevent him from scratching a weepy mole by his ear. 

But I feel sorry for him, so when I'm able to keep an eye on him, I take it off, and if he should start to scratch I go, "no no no".

Kuretake Brush Pen

Sometime last week I stumbled upon this Kuretake Cambio brush pen that was selling for only $2.80 on Amazon. Normally, similar brush pens go for around $5 to $6. 

There were only 3 reviews and 2 out of the 3 weren't favorable. Still, I like Kuretake products so I ordered 2 pens. 


It has a very fine tip, and although it took awhile for it to get juicy, the ink did eventually get to flowing just right. 


I loooove it. I like that you get can very fine as well as broad brush strokes. And if you work quickly you can get a dry-brush effect.

Soon after trying out the pen, I went back online to see if I could order more. They're now $9.80!! Whaaaat!! 


P.S.  I just did an Amazon review. I hinted that if the price drops I'll be getting another pen. LOL.

Cheeseburger from Makiki Inn

Awhile back my brother-in-law Glenn recommended the cheeseburger from Makiki Inn. Landon was in the area last week so he picked up one for himself and one for Wendell.

Lan said that it was the best hamburger that he's had in a long time. 

I took a bite. It was juuuuuuicy and ono.



It's on Wilder by Makiki Village Market.
