Hawaii was showing off her beauty today as the afternoon storm clouds obscured the sun and Hualalai Mountain on the island of Hawaii.

It’s nice to know there are still quite places on the planet.
Waimea Hawai’i gas prices. What are you paying per gallon and which city did you buy gas?
Kai restaurant in Kailua-Kona for Kenya’s birthday. Good food. Great setting on the ocean. We will be back.
Happy Birthday Kenya. Loved hanging out in the boat for a morning of snorkeling, good food, great friends, and sailing in the sun. Mahalo my friend.
With over 155 state, national, and intl culinary awards we might be something right. Come sample Akaka Falls Farm Jams, Butters, Marmalades, honey, and more at Food Truck Friday at our new location. Beginning March 18 we will start at Tony Honda on 75-5608 Kuakini Hwy, Kailua Kona, Hawai’i. Come hungry and bring your friends.
Akaka Falls Farm Jams thanks HPM for hosting Food Truck Friday in front of HPM, across from Target in Kailua Kona from 4-8pm for the last year.
We just had one of our “must recommend” experiences!! Voltaire and Norman at Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary are wonderful. We went to see a couple of friends who said come by and we can take a hike in the jungle. I thought Voltaire was joking. OMG, thank G he wasn’t. Their property is a sanctuary. Norman knows everything about the plants and more. Voltaire is always a loving bright spark to light up your day and explained a lot about the history of the land. We enjoyed a great little informative hike and meditation. They accepted our offer to come back and do some voluntary trail building and clean up needed after the recent hurricane. We will be back!!! Do this tour.
Due to a massive fire last year between Kamuela and Saddle Road, the rains today brought massive runoff and with that came the worst conditions I’ve ever seen on the upper road (Hawai’i Belt Road -190) through that area. The road was closed at the turnoff to Waiki’i Ranch. I guess my business meeting in Waimea wasn’t that important today. LOL 😂.—— Kudos to Hawai’i Island Department of Transportation!!! They repaired the road and made adjustments for possible future weather events. Mahalo.
Hapuna Beach Sunset finished with a bright promise for the next day.
Sunset at Hapuna 1/2/22
This is our first time back to The Coffee Shack since CoVid started. We are both so grateful for this little breakfast/lunch shack on the side of the hill. Good food. Good coffee. A bit voggy today but always a great panoramic view. I enjoyed local caught Ono Benedict today with potatoes. My wife enjoyed the Eggs Benedict and we split one of there memorable cinnamon rolls. See you at The Shack!!
Just finished a wonderful meal from Hale I’a Da Fish House. I enjoyed the ahi bento plate and 2 marlin poke bombs. Bento I went spicy sauce. Poke bombs I chose their recommendation of a mix of 2 sauces. Bento plate gave me a choice of brown rice or white. I’ve learned out here to rarely order something white. Great choices all around. The fish wasn’t just fresh, it was melt in your mouth fresh. I will definitely be back.
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
