  1. I am so jealous… now that I am off white sugar I can’t have a pork-da-monkey smoothie!!! I am going to have to make it organically at home.

  2. Aloha Uncle Jim,
    Last week, my family and I were at Waimea town market. Wish you were there. The best smoothie is made at home with bananas, papayas, cacao, blueberries, strawberries, and peaches!
    Much Aloha from your best friend,
    Rachel!

At least Island Lava Java Bistro, 1 of our favorite restaurants for breakfast, is still open. I get the same thing each time: Big Kahuna Plate. It’s catch of the day fish, 2 eggs, with cubes deep fried potatoes and fresh fruit. Yum!! Yesterday the fish was pan seared Ahi or Ono. I had the Ono. And it was onolicious!! Oh yeah... and of course a whole pot of coffee. They now serve a 32oz French Press of Kona Coffee.
No Saturday market at Parker School or Waimea Hawaiian Homes. My guess is Parker will close@for 3-4 weeks. WHH said closed until September 18. We will see. You will find me in Hilo on Saturday until further notice.
2nd corse: Spicy Puna Cheese Steak is a very well balanced Philly Cheese Steak with pepper cheese and jalapeño peppers. Spice level is not mild. It has a little heft to it. Toasted to perfection bun. It’s looks small but is quite filling. I recommend it and will order it again.
What a way to set the stage for a great experience for my first time at Poi Dog Deli in Kailua Kona across from where Safeway used to be. 1st course: popcorn and Peanut Butter Milk Stout Nitro while I wait 20 minutes for my sandwich. There is plenty to look at on the walls to keep a person from getting bored during the wait. The beer is quite lovely. It’s smooth with a great nutty flavor. Flip the bottle upside down, set it in the glass, slowly pull the Boyle from the glass to create a foamy head. Check next post for the sandwich 2nd course.
Give a shout-out to @makana2020 for earning an International Flavor Award for his creation: Poi Coconut Butter. Poi is a superfood, locally sourced from Waipio Valley on The Big Island called Hawai’i. With the coconut butter it taste a bit like tapioca but with a superfood kick which will leave you feeling strong. Mahalo to you Makana.
This continuous gifts from the island never get old. Walking out of a grocery store I am greeter by yet another colorful rainbow. Mahalo Ke Akua
A wonderful start to my day: Buckwheat pancakes, topped with butter, sugar-free Blueberry Maple Whiskey Syrup, Belgian Black Chocolate Coconut Butter, a touch of organic maple syrup, and a bit of sour cream. To drink?: Javaloha Peaberry Coffee. Thank you to @akakafallsfarm for the syrup and butters. They are truly amazing. Thanks to @shakalatte1. Still the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had. Thanks Mike for the smoked pig. Always delicious.
This is the best photo I’ve seen of me and my amazing wife of 18 years. We are so happy and more in love with each other every day. Thank you to our good friend @krussell91307 for taking this photo at dinner the other night. You captured us perfectly at this very moment in time. Life is good.
Good Morning World!!!!
A wonderful offering of the aina from Hawai’i Nei. Resident farmer at @purekonagreenmarket. Come see Mark Stephens of Island Fresh Aquaponics.
The 1st scotch I ever loved was Ardbeg 10. I asked my brother for my last birthday to buy my any $100+ bottle of scotch. He bought me Laphroig 10. I hated it. It burned my mouth. It was too peaty and harsh. I realized that this company has been around for over 200 years. No company can survive that long buy producing crap. So I knew it was me not understanding what the creators who made it were thinking. One day I was eating a Reuben sandwich while sipping on the Laphroaig 10 and I liked it. The scotch actually tasted sweet bc of the SOUR sauerkraut in the sandwich. I now enjoy my bottle of Laphroig 10 and this year I am treating myself to Laphroaig Quarter Cask. Hearing many times I must try some small batch artisan scotch I almost blindly have purchased this for the journey. If I don’t like it at first I must find out why. Turn your losses into wins and expand your horizons.
The Big Kahuna Breakfast at Lava Java I Kailua Kona is the perfect start for celebrating my birthday.
Just for you! Be blessed.
A beautiful end to a beautiful day and a Happy Easter from The Big Island called Hawai’i.

What happens to rain in Hawai’i above 13,000’ elevation? Snow!!!! It is always a beautiful sight to see a snow capped Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Enjoy.
Here is an ingenious Wet-side of Hawai’i Island (Hilo-side) work around. Living on dry-side (Kona-side) this issue never came up. How do you get gas from the delivery truck into the underground storage containers, while it’s raining, for the last week, up to 4 inches per hour? Sandbags!! You create a sandbag barrier around it. Mahalo to all the workers who excel at there jobs during rain, shine, hurricane, and pandemic.
Original Big Island Shave Ice Company is open at the Kings’ Shops at Waikaloa Beach!!!!!
