Market Day, Onolicious Grindz, and a Dip in A Hot Pond (22 FEB 2009)

Aloha, howzit?


Yes, you guessed right. It is market day - again! What WOULD Hawaiians do without their Farmer's Markets? And, truth is, we're so sold!! Hawaii really knows how to put on da show!

Mango wood, Lychees, Alaska Salmon, Bamboo, Vacuum cleaners, Vintage Coca Cola, Spam Loco, Surfboards, Peaceful volcanic candles, Massage, Aloha shirts, Anthuriums, Growing Coconuts, Vegan Cacao, Fatigues, Papayas, Taro, Banana, Cascaron, A chap selling flowers, Lava salsa, Laulau, Live lobster, Smoked meat, Shave ice, Cotton candy, Orchids, Hawaiian music, and - amazingly - SO MUCH MORE!! Have a look:



Samoan palusami, taro, music & auntie, jungle tacos, hammocks, orchids, Hawaiian quilts, Kukui lei, Super natural hemp, Green Coconuts, The brown tree snake, The Coqui frog, and A precious political pun...



And as if that isn't already the whole enchilada, this one will take the cake - or at this latitude - the mochi.:
Howdyalikethis: a half-Athabascan/half-Inupiaq (eskimo) who relocated to Hawaii because of: DRUMROLLLLLL.......... DA WEATHER! Gotta love it. FEEL da Aloha!!
Here, we're reminiscing about Alaskan summers and talking some story about 'muktuk' and 'eskimo ice cream' right here in Hawaii - in FEBRUARY. (Yaah, just seh noo to da snoo):



All this gourmet story talking made us hungry, so we headed home for a super Hawaiian/Polynesian meal - lau lau, Samoan palusami, poi, Smoked pork, Hawaiian Candy, Cascaron, Crackseed (Ume), Mango, Coconut Candy, Roasted Cacao Beans, Papaya, Apple Bananas, Rambutans, Macademia nuts, Mochi, Rice & Banana dessert:



And, finally, it is Sunday and what better way to end the week than in a geothermally heated lava pool - complete with little fishies and ocean view! (Yes, indeed, Pele may be a moody siren of steam and smoke, but for this particular creation she deserves some credit!)
