Bistro Bijoux in Sandestin

            I poked the appetizer gingerly with my fork. Lobster spring rolls had sounded delicious when I ordered them but these were a little odd looking with the lobster tails poking up out of the spring rolls. And then I took a bite. And if lobster spring rolls with the … Continue reading »

It’s called SoBe But Only If You Are In The Know

The Big Island. That’s what you call Hawaii if you are in the know. We were not in the know before we went there but we are now. When people say “Hawaii”, we turn up our noses and laugh disdainfully.
