Cereal Remix Reviewed

Gee Why — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:16:16 +0000

While the Froyo Wars is in full effect, the battleground over the Hawaii cereal market is only starting out. There’s Scrambled in Windward Mall and now on the Leeward side, there’s Cereal Remix.

To give these cereal cafes a fair shot, I had to try it out, hitting up the recently opened Cereal Remix. I opted for the steel cut oatmeal for a heartier meal instead of the sugary breakfast cereals. The 16-oz Mini goes for $4.25 and is filling enough after adding the toppings. For my hot oats, I sowed honey, azuki beans, strawberries, blueberries, mango, brownie bits, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and some brown sugar. The azuki beans were a winner along with the fruit. The Reese’s and brownie bits somehow didn’t match thought I hoped they would. The mango was kinda funky tasting, what a bummer. I also tried a sprinkle of li hing powder, but that combination is definitely not for me.

So overall, Cereal Remix was a worthy experience that you have to try for yourself. Honestly, I’m not sold on this cereal cafe concept especially during these tough economic times, but I do wish Cereal Remix future success.

Oh yeah, what I didn’t like was paying for parking in the Newtown Square. Since I ate in the store (with its 3 seating capacity), I took awhile longer and paid $1.50 for parking. $1.50 along with a $4.25 bowl of oatmeal? That’s a turnoff.

Day 5 with a Dark Cherry Mocha

Gee Why — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 01:35:44 +0000

There was no day five with a Starbucks Dark Cherry Mocha. After four straight days with this drink, I overdosed and wasn’t interested in one more drink to finish the week. Oh, I did go to Starbucks but got a (stirred) caramel macchiato instead.Similar Posts:

Went to the Honolulu Festival for the first time. Lots of stuff to see and games and crafts for the kids. Besides the $5 parking fee at the Hawaii Convention Center, the event and activities are free, even that ride on a Segway.

Some pictures.

On Second Thought… Coach Jellybean

Gee Why — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:47:58 +0000

After giving the idea of Joe Bryant applying for the Head Coach position for UH men’s bball, there’s definite business merit to this. UH Athletics has been saying they have to run their programs more like a business and that the buyout of Coach Nash’s current contract is a business decision.

Hiring Coach Jellybean could be a business windfall. Just imagine what would happen if son Kobe starts donning UH gear. A few pics of him in public and UH gear sales would definitely climb. Just imagine a photo like this but wearing Hawaii colors.

And what would happen if Kobe could manage a visit to the Stanley for a UH game? Schedule conflicts aside, his appearance would bring in the crowds. And how about Dad arranging some “casual” pickup games with UH players and #24 who might bring some yellow and purple friends. Kanye West would be there.

The UH basketball program would, of course, have to change from Converse to Nike so the team could rock some ~~green~~ orange Zoom Kobe V’s.

So despite any actual coaching requirements, Coach Jellybean makes a good business sense.

Head Coach Jellybean??

Gee Why — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:15:54 +0000

Now this is a surprise! Kobe Bryant’s father, Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, says he’s applying for the head coaching position for the UH Men’s Basketball team. Jellybean has some coaching experience but isn’t renowned for this win-loss record you know.

But on the flipside, his mere connection with Kobe and the NBA will surely attract talent for the Bows. And there could be some creative promotions involving a rainbow of colorful jellybeans.

Could he be the next UH Men’s Basketball Coach?

It’s my third day drinking Starbucks’ new Dark Cherry Mocha drink. I figure if I overdose on this fruity deliciousness right away then I’ll be over it soon enough.

There’s just something about the drink’s name that’s sorta taboo and sorta risque. Makes for an interesting drink nonetheless. Similar Posts:

Sadness, DUI Wednesdays No Longer

Oh sadness, the Honolulu Police Department is discontinuing its online program of showcasing drunk driving suspects. Each Wednesday, the HPD would post mug shots of these law breakers and each week, there’d be a swarm of traffic to this site. Heck, there’s even a Facebook Fan Page for this.

But now, this cult sensation is coming to a close. Sadness.

The Next UH Men’s Basketball Head Coach?

Gee Why — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:00:02 +0000

With the contract buyout of Coach Bob Nash, the UH Men’s Basketball team is officially looking for a new Head Coach. Who could that be? Here are some mentioned, speculated names.

I admit that I am piqued by Reggie Theus. He is a known name who brought about a WAC resurgence at New Mexico State then abruptly left to coach the Sacramento Kings of the NBA. While Reggie Theus would definitely have a short term impact on UH’s program, I think the anticipation of his departure would bug me. Is he staying? Is he committed? What’s the next thing he’s jumping to? Besides, I doubt the Stan Sheriff Center can accommodate the debonair duo of both Reggie Theus and Artie Wilson.

Who do you think could be the next Head Coach for the Rainbows?

Thanks to Dave Reardon for his insights. Similar Posts:
