Your lists are pretty great. May I add-

Coconut cake while watching the sunset on the lani at the Halekulani, Oahu.

Fresh waffles with coconut syrup and poha berry conserve also on the lani of the Halekulani

fresh papaya on the beach pretty much anywhere in Hawaii.

Hummm... Maybe it's anything you eat in Hawaii!

speaking of prickly pear jelly, Thank you so much for the delicious jar you sent me!

Ok, how about let's do lunch . . . IN HAWAII!!!

I lugged ziplock bags full of prickly pears home to Utah from Tucson a few months ago. I love P P Jelly - takes me back to Mulberry Drive - just had to share the joy!
