What's Happening

We are still out in Hawaii soaking up the sun and warm weather!

Two of our kids were here with us all week. The early part of the week was spent taking them to our favorite haunts and restaurants. In the latter half, they wanted to stay home at our place and soak up the sun and pool.

Some of their favorite highlights were watching the sea turtles come ashore to rest for the night and sitting at our favorite beach watching surfers.

Being out in Hawaii makes watching the opening ceremony for the Olympics and the Super Bowl a bit weird because of the time change. The Olympic opening ceremony was mid-day on Friday so we taped it to watch later in the evening. The Super Bowl, today, is at noon, lol. Personally, watching the Super Bowl early in the day is a whole lot better!

This coming week is projected to be a bit rainy, but we know it won't slow us down. When it rains on one part of the island, the other part is typically clear. I want to shop at some of my favorite stores and go to a chocolate tasting!

Waves crash against rocks and roll onto a sandy beach under a clear blue sky; a dark rocky cliff rises on the right side, creating a tranquil scene perfect for sunday thymes.

Recipes

In honor of the Olympics, and a new Greek Meatball recipe, I'm sharing a few of my many Greek recipes! Enjoy.

Greek Beef Meatballs in Tomato Sauce (Soutzoukakia)
Greek Beef Meatballs in Tomato Sauce are inspired by classic soutzoukakia, featuring tender, oval-shaped beef meatballs seasoned with cumin and cinnamon and gently simmered in a rich tomato and red wine sauce.

Perfect for weeknight dinners, mezze-style spreads, or easy entertaining with tzatziki on the side.
