One of the hardest services to replace when moving, in my experience, is the hair stylist. It took four different stylists in three different salons before I found someone I really liked, who was in my price range. (It's still about twice what I paid in Ohio, but it's the going price for this area.) And the gal I ended up with, I ended up with ( Read more... )

It's really interesting to see the differences and similarities between this book and the ones I have from back home. Lots of crab recipes, something definitely won't see in a mid-western cookbook.

BUTTHEAD: Yeah. We got crabs!
BEAVIS: Heh heh! Heh Heh! CRABS!

Erm.... uhh.... that is to say on the coast seafood is more prevalent than in those land locked states. Geographically, I'm not sure if you guys are closer or further away from the actual coast part of Va., but if you ever want a nice little sojourn check out Tangier Island or Smith Island. You have to take a ferry to get there and usually it's just a day trip. But seriously? Best CRAB CAKES EVAH!!! On Smith Island I'm told you can pretty easily catch your own crabs and have a feast on the beach...

Dang, now I'm hungry!

*is jealous*! Though I've been to Oahu. I was just a youngster at the time and pulled more towards the Hawaiian Shave Ice. Now that's everywhere, but at the time it was new and awesome to me.

Must build Time Machine and tell younger self to TRY THE PINEAPPLE! *sob*

Why, yes. Yes, you have. However, I decided to take the high road and not mention that fresh pineapple from the plantation would be one of my orgasmically transcendent nirvana moments. Because it would just be unseemly, ya know? ;-)

I've been to the Dole plantation, too. I have a picture with a pineapple bush. Tree? Plant? Anyway. I have a picture. :D

You're so so right about the struggle of finding a hair stylist. It's the worst thing about moving. I've been with the same person for the past few years, but I'm still not overly thrilled with her. I almost left her once, but it's so hard to leave!

Just this week I decided to let my hair grow out again. I'll see how long I last before chopping it off. :D
