Nearly all of the<br \/>\nrecipes involved jello and or margerine so I just might stick to my own<br \/>\nrecipes. There are funny notes throughout the book from recipes tried.<br \/>\nOne says &#8220;not so good, not so bad.&#8221; Most of the recipes were submitted<br \/>\nfrom 4-H members and all remind me of making picnic foods when I was a<br \/>\nkid. There seemed to be so many more picnics and potlucks in the 70s.<br \/>\nWhat happened to them? Maybe it&#8217;s time we bring them back.<\/p>\n<p>We had such an amazing day snorkeling yesterday. There were several<br \/>\nturtles right up along the beach. We were literally in the water 30<br \/>\nseconds when Tom spotted his first turtle. Later on I heard a couple<br \/>\ncomplaining that there were no turtles and I gave them a tip but I doubt<br \/>\nthey believed me. The couple were off to another spot where they thought<br \/>\nthey&#8217;d be guaranteed turtles. We couldn&#8217;t avoid them if we tried. We<br \/>\nwould just float above them and watch them nibble. They would<br \/>\noccassionally come up for air and we&#8217;d try to properly introduce<br \/>\nourselves before they dipped back down for more snacks. If the tide<br \/>\npulled us too close to them, they&#8217;d just give us the stink-eye and we&#8217;d<br \/>\nback off. Doing an overnight in Kona was a blast and we&#8217;re going to do<br \/>\nit again and hit some new snorkeling spots. Vacation is fun. We should<br \/>\ndo this more often.<\/p>\n<p>The weather is perfect today here in Hilo and our only plans are some<br \/>\nswimming in the pool and chillaxin&#8217;. We may look for a little ipod<br \/>\nplayer, we are jonesing for music. Tonight is steak, papaya, advocado<br \/>\nand cabbage for dinner. we still have lots of gyozas from the other<br \/>\nnight.<\/p>\n<p>We stopped outside of Kona yesterday for some ice cream and I found a<br \/>\ngreat purse. I&#8217;ve been on the hunt for the perfect honeymoon bag.<br \/>\nIronically it&#8217;s from a seamstress in LA so it&#8217;s my hawaii la bag. It was<br \/>\ntoo much money but the store owner was nice and sometimes you just have<br \/>\nto blow a wad.<\/p>\n<p>At night we&#8217;ve been hanging out at a very funny local bar. The drinks<br \/>\nare full of fruit flies and some of the patrons don&#8217;t have teeth. They<br \/>\nare a funny bunch. One insisted on taking a group shot of us so I&#8217;ll<br \/>\npost that when we get back. Thursday they are playing hawaiian music and<br \/>\nserving lots of pu pus (appetizers).
