On grey and dreary days such as today, sometimes it is hard to keep cheery and motivated. Wouldn't it be nice to escape to a bright and sunny tropical isle for some much needed R & R? You can, you know, if only for a few minutes. Reading a recent online newsletter from the Maui Insider took me back five years ago to our blissful (10 day!) honeymoon. As I read up on the recent resorts, restaurants and activities in Maui, memories of that trip flooded back to me. There was even a recipe included in the newsletter from a Maui chef. Imagine my husband's surprise if I whipped up some Fish Enchiladas tonight? Or some Loco Moco, one of his favorite meals from our trip. So put on some Iz (Israel Kamakawo'ole), listen to his cover of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", sip a Mai Tai and imagine you're on a warm, black sand beach. It only takes a few minutes to take a vacation in your mind. Don't forget your paper umbrella!

Loco Moco Recipe Serves 4
16 ounces ground beef
2 ounces ground pork
1 egg
Garlic salt
freshly ground pepper
Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups panko
1 cup cooked rice
4 eggs, fried
Teriaki sauce
Brown gravy
Directions:
Mix the first 8 ingredients (beef through panko) and form into 4 patties. (Even easier, use pre-made hamburger patties). Broil patties to desired doneness, about 5 minutes on each side. Divide rice between 4 plates and top each with a patty, 1 egg, teriyaki sauce and gravy. Yum!
A hearty meal for your hungry man.
