Left Hawaii and have arrived on the mainland. I would happily get right on a plane back! I wonder if I can find some kind of beach substitute in Oklahoma? But then, I can hardly wait to have some Barbecue that doesn't have Pineapple Juice or Soy Sauce in it. And I never saw Grits on the menu anywhere. But I did forget to pickup some of those Spam Flavored Macadamia Nuts to go with the evening cocktails. Did I really?
Well, there are plenty of lakes around Oklahoma, but I wouldn't recommend checking them out this time of year. There actually was a place called Twilight Beach in OKC when I was a kid that tried to put a sandy beach beside a lake... I don't even know what to think about Spam flavoured Macadamia nuts (or how to spell it). I love pineapple and soy sauce, but my guess is that it's best to live in the real world most of the time and visit Heaven only occasionally... so would Heaven be Hawaii or would it be Paris?
ReplyDeleteWell Shelley, I'll spend the next few weeks thinking about whether Heaven is Hawaii or Paris? That is a wonderful question to ponder, and when I decide I'll book another trip to the winner. My husband still plans on us going to Ireland this Spring, but suddenly he asked if I'd just as soon go to Sweden. (He's been there before, I have never even been close.) (Neither of us have ever been to Ireland.) (Although I loved Father Ted and Ballykissangel.)
ReplyDeleteI have also never been to an Oklahoma lake, but the ladies in the pool at the Y say to start with a brown bathsuit, since it will end up that way anyway.
As to Spam Macadamia Nuts, even if they were free, I'd still pass on them. But I think you should suggest Soy Souce and Pineapple Flavored ones to whoever manufactures such stuff. Sounds like a winner.
spam flavored macadamia? I have yet to visit Hawaii, but I've received chocolate macademias as a gift from midwesterners who feel "guilty" about going and leaving me behind.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I also read about a recently opened barbecue joint in London that's going gang-busters. It seemed so odd to me since we have barbecue on every corner.
ReplyDeleteBarbarcue joint in London? I wonder if it will be any better than trying to do it in your own kitchen? If it's really good, they will be able to charge anything to any expats from the Midwest.
