With things finally slowing down at least a little (and I’m saying this very cautiously, in full knowledge of the mayhem that will be our trip to the Midwest next month), we’ve been able to spend more time in our tiny backyard, cleaning things up and helping things grow. This morning I discovered that one of the zucchini plants had bloomed so I decided to get some photos of the flower as well as the other happy green things living out back.

I finally got a photo of the Magoo’s pizza wagon that parks next the the 76 station just a few blocks from our apartment. Magoo’s (the bar) closed down a year or two ago, causing much sadness among the graduate students of UH’s Department of Linguistics. It was immediately replaced by the Varsity, which has been deemed too loud, too expensive, and generally lacking in edible food. The Magoo’s pizza wagon survived, though, and just a few weeks ago I picked up a chicken and pepper pizza to give it a try. Yum!
Yesterday I picked up some – surprise! – fresh local veggies at Long’s Drugs. Maybe not quite as cheap as the farmer’s market, but certainly convenient. Who knew you could find fresh Hawaiian-grown cucumbers, tomatoes, and eggplant at the DRUGSTORE? Made my day.
