I love to read.
When I find a book I love, I sink down into it and roll around in it, enjoying every word, scene, and character. I stay up way past my bedtime devouring it, and I keep it within arm’s reach so that I can sneak in a few words at every idle opportunity. I become obsessed.
This doesn’t happen very often, fortunately for my family. Since Grace was born, there have been only three books that really pulled me in: Little Earthquakes, A Thousand Splendid Suns and Gods in Alabama. Now, add Sweet Life to that list.
Let me pause to say that I am obsessed with Hawaii. A colleague moved there last year, a friend just found out that her husband is being transferred there in the spring, and I’ve always wanted to visit for a vacation. Or maybe move to Hawaii some day? Who knows.
So, back to Sweet Life. From early on, it reminded me a lot of Jennifer Weiner’s style and her book, Little Earthquakes. Both books are clever and real, with well developed characters who live in today’s world. They are women you could find walking down the street anywhere and women you want to befriend.
In Sweet Life, Marissa is a fabulously successful and worldly New York business woman whose husband accepts a transfer to Hawaii. She leaves her job, her friends, her life to accompany him on the move. Then he leaves her, saddled with a dilapidated house, the care of their eight-year-old daughter, and virtually no money. What is she to do? Feeling like she’s lost everything, Marissa comes up with a plan and soon discovers that the sweetness in life isn’t at all where she expected.
I love everything about Sweet Life. I love the characters, especially the girls who become Marissa’s friends and a handsome cowboy named Tom. I love the descriptions of the volcanoes and geology of Hawaii. I also love that the author, Mia King, has included recipes in an appendix for many of the dishes mentioned in the text and a website with even more. How cool is that?
You could make the Spambalaya that the girls enjoy for dinner or the macadamia nut energy bars that they snack on. The first one that I’m going to try is the Hawaiian Style Crispy Dumplings with Ginger Chili Sauce, which I’ve included below.
Yum!
Hawaiian Style Crispy Dumplings
Ingredients
- 25 wonton wrappers round
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tbsp green onions thinly sliced, about 1 stalk
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 1/4 cups Chinese cabbage finely shredded
- 1 1/2 cups oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients, except for wonton wrappers and oil, in a large bowl and stir until well mixed.
- Place 1 heaping teaspoon of filling mixture into each wonton wrapper.
- Moisten edges with water and fold edges over to form a half-moon shape. Roll edges slightly to seal in filling. Set dumplings aside on a lightly floured surface until ready to cook.
- Set a 12-inch wok or 10-inch skillet over high heat and pour enough frying oil to cover the wontons. Heat the oil to 375 and deep fry the wontons, no more than 10 at a time, for minutes, or until crisp and golden.
- Transfer to paper towels and drain the excess oil.
- Serve with Ginger Chili Sauce (below).
Notes
For steamed dumplings, place in a steamer so that no dumplings are touching. Steam for 6-10 minutes, until centers are no longer pink.

I have a sweet life for so many reasons. Today’s reminder was that when Murph woke in my bed, he rolled, saw me, and with a big giggle said “Hi”. It’s sweet when I pick him up from the sitter’s and he sits on the porch grinning and waving until I pick him up. And it’s sweet at night when he’s tired and goes back and forth between the Chief and me looking for the best place to fall asleep.

This past spring we moved into a little old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, there is nothing sweeter than sitting on the front porch listening to the birds sing, the kids play, and the wind blow through the trees, watching the geese on the pond . . . we truly landed in our own mini heaven on earth, for which I am eternally grateful!
