Strange Dream

Dream Dictionary : An A to Z Guide to Understanding Your Unconscious Mind

Last night I had the strangest dream.

I dreamt that I was fast asleep in my bed when in the middle of the night, someone broke into my bedroom. This guy had a deep deep voice and was very intimidating. He had a look of authority. Like a cop or FBI or even IRS. He told me that he wanted to ask me questions about an acquaintance of mine. Somehow the way he said it assured me that he was not there to steal, murder or rape. Just on some very top secret government mission.

I really didn't want to respond. What could I say? That she is a fun gal to hang out with? And that's all I know about her?

I was terrified. I don't lie and did not want to.

That's when Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp came to rescue me. 

And then... I woke up.

Le Sigh!

So obviously when I woke up, I tried to do online research about the interpretation of the dream. But no luck. What kind of dream analysis does not recognize Brad Pitt?

So today I am going to order this book.

Mama's Fish House

One of the best places to eat in Maui is a restaurant called Mama's Fish House. Located in Paia, this restaurant not only offers breathtaking views but also the freshest and tastiest food.

While in Maui, this experience is not to be missed. Sure it is expensive but if you are on a vacation and want to eat at one good restaurant, this IS the place to go.

Open air and everyone has a view. 

What I really liked about this restaurant is that there is beauty everywhere. I have to say that I took at least 200 photos while I was there. Remember the benches photo I posted? That is from this place. They have connections with local artists who provide flowers, wood work etc. I'll be publishing some more photos in future.

My hubby ordered some sushi. The fish was fresh, fresh, fresh. I personally don't like sushi. Why would you eat raw fish? But lots of people do and I definitely can take a bite.

Hawaian fish with caramelized onions. Yummy! My hubby and his brother loved the other fish!

Dessert...

The only criticism I have about this restaurant is that it is not vegetarian friendly. If a vegan shows up there, may God help them. My sis-in-law is a vegetarian. But being a world traveler, she is very flexible and accustomed to going to restaurants where they have very limited options for her.

But me being me, asked the waiter if the chef could prepare a vegetarian dish for her. There was nothing on the menu for her. He said that he would ask the chef. I seriously thought that the chef would cook up some pasta or something for her. The solution that the chef came up with? Children-menu grilled cheese. That, in my opinion, was seriously lazy of him. How hard is it to cook up some veggie noodles? Or spaghetti. Or simply fix a garden salad. But nope. Grilled cheese it was.

And how much did they charge for the grilled cheese? 35 US dollars. Yep. Yep. I kid you not. Of course they did not tell us how much the grilled cheese would cost ahead of time. It would have been too tacky. But we got quiet a surprise when it popped up on the bill.

So to my vegetarian readers, go there after you eat food. They have plenty of desserts and great drinks. The atmosphere is to die for.

I can't wait to go to Maui again so I can eat there!

If you are going to Maui, here is the best book you can find.

Drifting

Some days I simply want to drift away...

So Hot!

Stealing/Copying/Collaborating Carol's idea.

It is so hot that the hula boys on the dashboard are melting.

Birthday Girl!

It's my birthday today. Yeah! 

Last night our family of four went out for dinner to celebrate. It wasn't really planned but just kinda happened. We went to a wonderful restaurant called Maggiano's. It is a lovely Italian restaurant. My friend Carol recommended it. What is really good about it is that if you order a pasta dish, when you leave, they pack up an entree for you to go. So for 12.95 dollars, you essentially get 2 entrees. 

And the thing is that let's say you ordered spaghetti and meatballs for dinner... you can request Fettuccine Alfredo to go.

How cool is that?

Of course since it was my birthday dinner, I couldn't be bothered with that.

My order? Tiramuse and cheese cake with a side order of bread. I am sure that I spelled wrong but today I want to be reckless and abandon the spell checker.

Today my friend Alex is taking me to the spa for a mani and pedi. After that, I am going to take a nap. And then have total control of the remote control and watch the movie Twilight.

So what are your plans this weekend?
