I've been nit-picking myself about those ten pounds for five years. I've been wanting to get back to my pre-child, pre-40s size. Well I'm done with it and this is why.

Misoyaki Butterfish is a classic Hawaii recipe (you can even buy it at Costco Hawaii!) It's call butterfish, because the texture is rich and buttery. Just marinate black cod fillets in this miso marinade, then cook in the oven.

Butter, milk, and half & half give these Portuguese-style donuts their distinctive richness and luscious texture.

Aloha! Today, in this blog, I’d like to share a few experiences of mine with oracle cards to tell you how accurate Healing Readings the oracle card readings are. In fact, I’m yet constantly amazed …

Welcome to MacKellar Cove. A small town in Upstate New York where everyone knows everyone and dating is almost impossible to do without finding an ex, a coworker, or someone you already hate. That’s why the best dating app around doesn’t use pictures. Finding out who you’ve been talking to can be a shock, and not always a good one. But there’s something about this app and how good it is at finding that one person that’s meant to be. Come on in and get lost in the love today.  His Curvy Secret  Enjoy Ian and Blake's prequel novella! They were roommates in Hawaii, and no one knows exactly what happened on their trip. Until now. Read about what led to the trip, Blake and William's break-up, and what happened in that Hawaii hotel room. Plus, see Ms. Georgia and Eddie's wedding!  His Curvy Friend The last place Ian wants to be is stuck in the friend zone, but that's exactly where he's been for years with Blake. He made a promise to a friend he would admit to Blake how he feels, and as the date gets closer, and his connection with Blake starts to feel like more than just a friendship, Ian goes all in. His Curvy Wife Ramsey did not want to walk out on his wife, but he feared it was the only way to protect her. It was the only way to keep her safe. Until he finds out she's ready to move on with her life without him. Starting over isn't easy, but maybe it's the only way they can find each other again. His Curvy Treat Colin was not looking for everyone in his new small town home to know everything about him. Or for them to all try to get a date. Too bad for him the only woman he wants a date with turned him down flat. Not once, but twice. Colin isn't giving up so easily, not when something tells him Elise is worth it. His Curvy Frustration Trinity met James the day she moved to town. And hated him since. But when she needs someone, he doesn’t hesitate to show up and be there for her. Showing her, and others, a kindness she’d never seen. Maybe there’s more to him than she ever expected.  His Curvy Gift Piper is not interested in a relationship. Her last one was an epic failure, and she’s content being single. Gavin is only in town for a little while, so he’s perfect for a holiday fling. But when their fling starts to feel a little too real, Piper knows she made a mistake all over again. And this time, she might not recover from a broken heart.  His Curvy Outcast Willow has absolutely no one in her corner. She can’t blame anyone else, but it still hurts. Getting a ticket is just the icing on the cake of everything going to hell, even though the cop is hot. Rowan has never cared about someone’s reputation, only about the truth behind who a person is. And he has a hard time believing Willow is as bad as the whole town seems to think she is. He wants to find out exactly who she is. If she’ll let him.  His Curvy Nurse Laura moved to MacKellar Cove to work for Nico. She never expected to fall for her stubborn, sexy, and oblivious boss. Too bad he barely knows she exists. Or that’s how it seems. Nico is having a harder time keeping his attraction to Laura in check. When both turn to online dating to get over each other, they’re paired together, and all bets are off.  His Curvy Ex Zoey fell hard and fast for Sebastian when she was a teenager. Promises were made, and broken, and a lifetime passed.  But now she’s back. It’s temporary, but it’s enough to throw the two of them together over and over again. Sebastian hates her for breaking his heart, but he can’t seem to resist her, or her kids. Is moving on possible with the one person you’re trying to move on from?  His Curvy Craving The last thing Finley needed was a complication. That was why she agreed to meet the sexy stranger. It was anonymous, and hot, and not supposed to be more than harmless fun. Telling a man whose name she didn’t know that’s he was going to be a father was definitely the most awkward thing ever. Trent is sure she’s lying. Trying to trap him. She found out who he was and is trying to lay claim to his fortune. Joke’s on her. He’s not falling for it. Or her.  His Curvy Genius Xavier walked away years ago after making plans with Karissa. Forever kind of plans. Karissa moved back to her small town, the one Xavier refused to move to, and built her life. But every man was measured against her first love. Until Xavier’s best friend marries Karissa’s best friend and moves to MacKellar Cove. Avoiding him is impossible, and resisting his is even harder.    This ebook bundle is not available anywhere else.

Manapua means mea ono pua’a (“mea ono” for cake or pastry, and “pua’a for pork). Chinese immigrants arrived in Hawaii during the 19th century to work on the sugar and later pineapple plantations along with other ethnic group. With that they brought their customs, culture, and their cuisine. Street food vending in the street was a common trade in the marketplace towns of China and still is. In Hawaii, food peddlers sold a variety of delectable items especially their famous char siu bao. The peddlers would stack their foodstuffs in large aluminum cans and sling the cans by cords at each end of a pole. Hoisting the poles on their shoulders, they roamed the neighborhoods with their savory-filled buns. They were called the "Manapua Man". Every little kid would come running with coins like the ice cream trucks of modern day to buy their fill. Char siu bao immediately became a favorite among the locals, and was given the name manapua, or mea ono pua’a (“mea ono” for cake or pastry, and “pua’a for pork). The manapua man today can be found in a cargo vans run by independant business owners parked at beaches, small neighborhoods, near the business districts and other places around the island. For many, eating a manapua can be nostalgic, bringing childhood memories of making a trip to the manapua man’s truck. Over the years, the manapua’s size and filling changed. The late Bat Moi Kam Mau, former owner of Char Hung Sut in Chinatown, was well known for her local-style manapua. She created the “big Hawaiian-size” manapuas that the island people love to eat. The once small manapua, was now super-sized by the locals. Not craving sweet pork? No problem. Today you can find manapua with different savory fillings such as vegetables, curry, sweet bean, chicken, lup cheong (chinese sweet sausage), sweet potato, laulau, kalua pork, and many more. Baked and steamed, there is a wide variety of manapua that you can choose from. If you go to the dim sum restaurants abroad you will see little char siu bao in little bamboo steamers along with the usual dim sum selections. But only in Hawaii the char siu bao or manapua is huge. Manapua is so popular in Hawaii that it is sold at 7-11 convenience stores islandwide. Best Places To Get Some Manapua can be found in chinese dim sum restaurants but Hawaii locals buy them in bulk to take to gatherings or on trips to the mainland, picnics, or even to sports events. The best places to buy them are at Char Hung Sut, Libby's Manapua Shop, Royal Kitchen, Chun Wah Kam, Aiea Manapua and Snacks, and Island Manapua Factory. All have their delicious versions of manapuas and have their fans. For me if I want big bready and lean filling I'd go to Char Hung Sut or Libby's. If I want baked manapua I'd go to Royal Kitchen since it's their specialty. Chun Wah Kam and Island Manapua compete with their many varieties and othe dim sum specialties such as pork hash (siomai) and chow mein (fried noodles) etc. To me the best manapua for the bun to meat filling ratio is Island Manapua Factory hands down. Theirs are light and fluffy with lots of meat filling. Make sure your get them hot and steaming! To local hawaii people seeing a pink or white colored box is a tell tale sign that someone has brought manapua to the office or home and you know it's going to be ono!! So let's eat some manapua it's kaukau time!! :D
