One of the things I love about vacationing in Hawaii is eating Roselani ice cream. They have been around since 1932 and Hawaii is the only place you will find Roselani ice cream.

Uncle’s Shaved Ice – Lihue

We almost did it. We came close to eating at a different shaved ice spot everyday for a week. There are so many delicious shaved ice shops to try. This day we shopping at K-Mart and needed a snack. Uncle’s Shave Ice was close so we gave it a try. Looks like the mall is […]
JoJo’s Shave Ice – Hanalei

Fluffy. Cold. Exotic sweet flavors. When the day is hot my thoughts return to JoJo’s.

I never had huckleberrys before but they are delicious. A bit like blueberries. Lil Dipper is my only source of Huckleberry […]

One of my favorite times of year is when summer starts and the Del Mar fair opens. So much delicious food waiting for […]
Afters Ice Cream – Pacific Beach
