We seem to be off the the farmer's market an awful lot if judging by the number of market videos that have been posted here on this blog. However, market day is not an everyday event - it is a special opportunity once or maybe twice a week - to sample a slice of the local culture.
On this market day, we had mostly new discoveries - again - it is amazing what you'll find at these places. You think you have seen and tasted everything, but then you find new stuff yet.
Today, we'll walk you through the following:
Bug-eating plant, 10lbs of sugar cane (for a buck), jackfruit, cooking bananas, mountain apples, puakenikeni (a HEAVENLY fragrant bloom), anthuriums, kapa cloth. Just watch...
And an order was placed here for some Coconut Turnovers for pick-up on Friday:
The afternoon was ear-marked 'coastal drive pending weather report'.
We ended up doing it anyway, despite an iffy weather report. The weather turned out to be a bit of a blessing - we got some seriously cool wave video as a result - including a very neat blowhole. You'll also see an Ironwood tree grove in this video.
Hat's off to Mother Nature - and Pele - for their rather spectacular abilities!
Aloha,
Kepani & Kamila
