Continue Hawaii Saimin and Ramen Noodles
Posted on September 8, 2011 at 11:35am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Ever since I have been living in the South Pacific, the meal we rely on for quick fixings, or the easy anytime snack is saimin, otherwise known as ramen noodles. Saimin is the Hawaiian version of ramen, possibly stemming from the Chinese words sai (thin) and mein (noodle). It is usually served with beef, chicken or shrimp broth. My kids grew up eating it, and they would even eat it raw (not sure how good that was for them), but they survived. Click…

A Tribute to the Sweetest Daughter Ever
I am a very fortunate mother. I say that because I have been blessed with a very loving and caring daughter. Many people want a son as their first child, but I believe it is better to have a daughter first. This is a tribute to loving and caring daughters everywhere, but especially my own. You can see her in my avatar, which was taken when she was less than a year old. We were then living in the South Pacific Island of Tonga. …See More

We often notice fishing poles stuck in the sand on the shore near the winding highway on our way to and from Honolulu. Some of these poles have bells on them to indicate that a sea creature is biting the line.…See More

I want to share some thoughts about Aloha, and what it means to children,…See More

I haven't been on SheWrites much lately. Been busy doing my own "thang" I suppose. I'm curious as to what my SheWrites friends are up to, writing-wise, though. Right now, I'm waiting to hear back from 2 agents who have requested my full manuscript of The Time Minders. I'm still working on Kingdoms of Blood & Magic, but not as diligently as I should, since I've been querying/submitting for the TTM, doing scads of tutoring at my daughters' school and work for our church's youth group. How about YOU?
Just gotta decipher my lingo from time ta time.

So glad to see you on She Writes! I love all the activity you've posted and helpful info for other writers. Thank you so much for being here!
Just so you know -- I have decided to take the remove the "gifts" function from our network -- it was taking up a lot of space on everyone's profile page and at the top of our main page. I know you gave a few and that is so nice; I hope you don't mind that they will come down now.
Warm best, and please let me know if there is anything I can do for you on She Writes,
Kamy
