Weekly Wrap

Aloha Readers and happy Saturday!

Here's what was served up this week on Eat Little, Eat Big, followed by some things I noted with interest around the web.

Aloha y'all,
The Weekly Wrap is tardy today because we went to see Sir Elton John play last night.   The concert was really good-Sir Elton is such a talented pianist and even though the pipes may be a bit crusty and not have the range they once had, he can still belt it out (think "Saturday, Saturday, Saturday nights all right" and "Buh Buh Bennie and the Jets").  The venue here on Maui is a small amphitheater with great acoustics where every seat has a good view and the big screens let you feel as if you were up on stage with the band.

It is nice not to have to go to Honolulu for world class performances!

Enjoy the long weekend (if you get Monday off)!  This week zipped by for me with my parents here visiting. 

Monday:  a sweet treat for your sweetie.

Happy Weekend!  I hope yours is going well.  I'm happy because my parents are here visiting us on Maui.  It is long way for them to come from Georgia so their visits aren't very frequent.

Here's a summary of this week on the blog and some fun things I read.

Aloha readers!  Hope you had a good week, and for those of you anticipating the big game, hope you get to watch some good football and eat some yummy treats!  Me?  I'm hoping to be chasing the little white ball around with a club-the golf courses are usually dead on Superbowl Sunday.

Here's a recap of this week's recipes and posts and some tid bits from other places around the Web.

Well, as the East Coast is hit by another winter storm, I'm happy to be living on Maui!  (Don't hate me.)  Here is the recap of this week's posts and stuff I bookmarked from around the web.

Ah, the end of the first "real" week of the year.  My focus this week was aimed at getting back on track eating healthy most of the time and having the "big eats" as occasional treats.  Here's the week's line up plus some things I noted on other places on the web.
