Check it out on the right, I’m selling my own signature tea. Kohala Coast Sunset tea. I got a tin and although it has apricot and mango in the tea isn’t too fruity. I’ve found that once brewed this tea is excellent poured over ice for a refreshing iced-tea. This is good stuff. I’ll have to add a few photo of the tea myself.

Actually I’m not ‘really’ selling this tea, Adagio is doing the selling, I just get credits for tins bought.

Here’s what the container looks like for my tea, a really nice airtight container with a UV blocking clear lid.

The tea is a blend of Apricot Green Tea, Mango Green Tea and Vanilla Oolong Tea.

Here’s the ad to order the tea, but if you want to order email me first and I think I can send a $5 off certificate for orders.
 

Hosts Sabine and Sven on the far end as Sven takes a photo during a pre-Christmas dinner.

Ice cream bananas for dessert, lots of good stuff for dinner before this but we were too busy eating and talking for photos.

We kinda ran out of proper glasses but Champagne in a Jack Daniels glass will do for me.

Some toasting going on.

German chocolates also joned the Champagne.

Dining by lantern light. Lots of Champagne bottles on the table.

Glennon pops and pours yet another bottle.

Only a few photos from the Christmas party in no particular order

Dinner’s done, now what’s for dessert?

Dessert’s done, now how about those prizes?

Dance fever.

More fever.

Gettin’ da grindz

A paparazzi moment.

Making a pass, it’s not what you think.

This was lunch, now what’s for dinner?

*update* Chowed down on prime rib, seafood, shortribs, a plate of assorted desserts for dinner with friends. I’m full but I’ll miss the turkey leftovers but not the clean-up.

And for the new banner picture at top. The snow-capped Mauna Kea summit. Will probably get more snow as we enter winter but nice sight to see now.

Classmates visited the Big Island for the weekend and go to hang at Buzzy’s place. Aldene, me, Wendy, Buzzy and Teresa.

Buzzy ready to party, or is he reaching for a piece to snuff me out?

And so we headed off to a party filled with hula dancers and musicians for food, music and dance. Lots of dance. Notice the ono Hawaiian grinds at the party.

And there was lots of impromptu dancing.

And more dancing

.

And even Buzzy himself dancing.

All parties should be like this. Good friends, good food, good music, good dancing and lots of good fun. Video to come later.

Why is this man smiling? He probably owns Medtronic stock and is rich over the pacemakers, insulin pumps and cardiac medical products they sell. This is the deep fried food menu at Mermaids and he’s the guy dishing up the greasy grinds.

The infamous Deep Fried Twinkie. Battered, deep fried, sprinkled with powdered sugar and chocolate pieces. I thought it might be a little healthier than the deep fried Oreos or at least easier to eat as I wouldn’t know how to pull a fried Oreo apart to eat the insides before eating the cookie parts.

Some artichoke dip at the Triple Seven Brewpub at the Main Street Station in Las Vegas.

Me with Carly and Dennis from the R-J. Carly escaped from WHT and is now doing front pages for the LVRJ.
