St. Joseph's Church — Attraction in Maui

Me reviewing a church? Yes, only because they serve some scrumptious eats!

FOOD: Portuguese Bean Soup Once a year usually around then end of April or early May, the kitchen comes alive for their annual Feast and out comes a delicious brew. The soup is semi-thick with a savory flavor and just a hint of sweetness, red kidney beans, onions, cabbage, carrots, sausage, and a whole lotta love.

Waffle Dog Unfortunately the exterior was super soggy and was cold, though the batter did have a good flavor with a bit of syrup mixed in. The hot dog was a plain Oscar Meyer weiner. Some things just shouldn't sit out and be made-to-order.

Chow Fun They sell it in a cone or quart, so I bought the latter for $10. They use the tan-colored dried noodles as opposed to the soft white kind, and they were a bit overcooked. Overall flavor was good but I encountered a long piece of hair that I pulled out of my mouth. Sigh... It's an honest mistake.

DESSERT: Malasada Come Fat Tuesday in Hawaii, this is what we eat. It's simply a donut ball that is chewy and moist on the inside and rolled in white sugar, about 10 times more than a regular donut. A lot of places make this but these guys do it BEST!

THRIFT STORE: I am so not a fan of these but I just wanted to pop in and check it out. Used clothes, a plethora of old & dusty glass knick knacks, and old DVD's are for sale....

I'm very glad we found our way to St. Joseph's Church while visiting the area. The pastor was very welcoming to us before mass. It seems they have a tradition at the end of mass, calling visitors up for a special blessing. The church building is beautiful, with stained glass windows and a stunning blue sky dome above the altar...

This has to be one of the most beautiful churches around. Unfortunately it's not the one closest to me so I don't regularly attend here. It is a must see though....
