Dean Helping Make Oven Roasted Tomatoes Aaahh, Spring Break… Always has been one of my favorite times of year. Well, at least it was, when I was in school. My 5 year old son is on Spring Break, right now, and I am not taking any days away from work, so I am a little [...] Photo by Karl Meinhardt, (c) 2010, South Seas Photography.

People in Hawaii are suprisingly festive, despite a lack of cold weather, and there are many events for the [...] Well, it is hard to be a Weekend Gourmet, when you have even less time than usual.
