New Beginning

This is my first attempt at a blog because I guess I'm getting to be quite a "tweeter" on Facebook and I think my friends are bored and annoyed reading my long frequent posts. I can't really say what I'll write about. I suppose my life is like an old Seinfeld episode--a little bit about nothing. But really that's what "talking story is"--shooting the breeze or just chatting.

First, a little about me. I'm a displaced Hawaiian (because I'm from Hawaii, not because I'm of Hawaiian blood) who is now living in Alaska. My husband and I met in High School in Honolulu. We married and have lived in Japan, Okinawa, Germany, Oklahoma and Texas. This whole relationship is kind of cyclical as my husband was born and raised in Alaska. He has family here, and I have family in Hawaii, but living here is the best of both worlds since Alaska Airlines flies direct to Honolulu.

I'll blog about food and cooking. On a recent trip back home we visited Da Kitchen on Isenberg Street and had some deep fried spam musubi, a sushi-like handheld sandwich that has fried spam, and is rolled in panko crumbs and deep fried.

Since we are newly retired we hope to do some traveling.  I'm actually testing my ability here to load a video. The Great Wall of China. 

So here we go. Let's talk story...
