I had to snag some alone time with Jo before she officially became a full-time lawyer and is never allowed to see the light of day again. So last Friday, we went to lunch and then King's Hawaiian for dessert.
Suffice it to say the entire restaurant was decked out in Halloween regalia.
We shared a slice of paradise cake, which was delicious! Layers of guava, lime, and passionfruit (?) cake with a gooey passionfruit jelly/curd on top. The frosting was interesting too. It looks like whipped cream, but was actually closer to marshmallow topping in texture. We both loved that the cake was incredibly moist and low on sugar. It was possible to finish the slice without needing any water or milk! We each bought some treats to go. I loved the haupia (coconut) cake, which was even moister and fluffier than the paradise cake. The guava cake was good but not as exciting, but the pineapple muffin might just be my new favorite breakfast. Toasted lightly, it takes on the crumbly crunchy texture of a good cornbread, with the tangy fruit flavor of pineapple.

I do get to see the light of day, from my 15th floor office window, but I guess that doesn't really count if the sun doesn't directly hit my face. Tomorrow though, I'm going out to lunch with a coworker who I went to high school with! Something to look forward to at least.
I've been thinking of a plan B during the time I'm not reading a document.
oh ya, i have no time to blog. maybe this weekend if I'm lucky.
