One thing YouTube is good for

I love listening to this Tongan kid, Ben Mataele, sing. His voice reminds me a lot of IZ (the guy who made the ukelele version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" famous).

Singing "Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5


Here he is accompanying his buddy, Adam Ashby, in singing "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz


And for my Mormon peeps, here's "How Can I Be?" written by Nela Otuafi of SLC

For those chilly autumn nights


I spent Friday night at my friend Daisy's house. She made this drink for us, along with hot-and-fresh tortillas covered with melted butter and cinnamon and sugar. It was a delicious snack, if I must say so myself. Daisy sent me home with some cut up pumpkin (the one she cut up was humongous), so I made the drink for Aki on Saturday, and we had leftovers on Sunday. It's definitely different, but give it a try! I think you'll like it—we love it!
