Shell Display
Don't know about you, but I'm always looking for new places to display my many seashells, stones and pieces of coral I've collected over the years. Just yesterday my son and I brought back several pieces of coral from our stroll along Pipeline beach on North Shore. When we arrived back home, I just plunked our new treasures into a milk glass urn....looks casual and pretty, but not as interesting and beautiful as this display I just discovered!....
This is also some great home office inspiration!

Spring 2011 Style
Lately, I've been wanting to wear cropped shirts....O.K. not super cropped (not in my teens or 20's), but showing a slight bit of tummy above my shorts, or even zero tummy with higher waisted shorts. This is one of the reasons I'm trying to get in really great shape. It's great shape or no cropped tops for me! I'm loving a really cute pair of flowy grey shorts. Love grey and coral for spring! Is there a must have look you're craving for spring? It's perpetual spring here in Hawaii, but psychologically it still feels like one should start preparing for all the spring things, like spring cleaning....go figure!

A Recipe From Key Lime Cookin'
Sorry for the lack of posts over here on Key Limes and Coral! I thought I would kick-off a new dedication to posting on this blog with a great recipe from the cookbook Key Lime Cookin' by Joyce LaFray. My husband picked-up this cookbook for me at a great book sale last year here in Honolulu. Being a Floridian, my husband knew that I would enjoy these recipes. Since many of you have been hit by a huge winter storm, perhaps this will help to remind you of the warm tropics....
Since I grew up very close to Captiva, I thought I would start with the Captiva Key Lime Pie recipe!
"This is one of the most famous Key Lime pies in Florida, and certainly on the mystical island of Captiva."
3 egg yolks
3 1/2 ounces Key Lime juice
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
3 egg whites
1 9" graham cracker pie shell
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Key Lime slices for garnish
"In a large bowl, stir the egg yolks with the Key Lime juice and the sweetened condensed milk. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then gently fold them into the Key Lime mixture, being careful not to deflate it. Pour the mix into the pie shell and freeze until solid. When ready to serve pie, garnish with the whipped cream and slice of lime."
Can't you just smell the Key Limes and salt air, feel the warm sun on your skin and the tropical breeze and hear the waves rolling in?
