That’s great. Thanks for reading. What my sister craves from here are the Cuban style crab cakes. She took some home, frozen, on the plane last time.

Hi Hilton,
Just wanted to tell you how funny it is that we both live in the Tampa Area (me for thirty five years) with siblings that live in Hawaii. I found your sister’s blog from searching for a liliquoi butter recipe and found you through her blogroll. My brother has been on Maui for thirty years and flies to the Big Island frequently as he works for Sunshine Helicopter. He is an ole Florida boy, we grew up in Melbourne. I send him Sonny’s barbque sauce, grits, yellow rice, garbanzo bean soup, hush puppy mix, and raw peanuts to make boiled peanuts! Nice blog you have and I really like your sister’s blog. Batten down the hatches, it’s almost Hurricane party season!

I was looking for reviews for Ben Thanh restaurant when I came across your blog. Thank you for all the work that you put into the blog.

This long pier is so much fun!! I fly down from Chicago every year in October. The weather is like 82 degrees everyday and the fish are biting. I love fishing on a wooded pier, it’s easy on your feet if you want to fish for 8 hours. The birds will entertain you or beg from you. Keep your lunch closed up tightly. This pier is a real working pier, it can be smelly at times, some bird poop about, but it is a natural setting. People from many nations on vacation visit this pier, I just wish they brought their fishing poles with them! They would have a blast!I bring my freshwater tackle, 20 lb test line, with a wire leader…No. 6 hooks with fresh frozen shrimp. You can catch almost anything with that. Even a smaller hook, is just as good.Good luck in fishing, Sue

Hi Hilton,
Wow! What a HUGE change from choir days at St. Lawrence on Himes Avenue! You introduced me to Pachelbel’s Canon back in (circa) 1984 – ring a bell? Funny how life takes us all in different directions. Wayne’s in Boise, ID and works at a TV station as a sales rep; Erin is a Chef at Ten-22, a restaurant in Old Town Sacramento. Try real hard, I know we’ll pop back into your memory (good or bad!)
Take care, hope things continue to go so well for you, it looks like you’re having a blast!

I just stumbled on your blog from urbanspoon.com. I love it that you showcase local restaurants. I’m going to try some of your recommendations.

Hilton, I just stumbled on your blog while looking for breakfast (so – am heading for Jo-El’s). I love the insights and will be sampling more of your recommendations. I blog from a different perspective – exploring the merits of retiring early to Florida from some less eccentric part of the world – but it’s clear that I have found some “living room” here. Your blog helps with the furnishings. Thanks.
