I spent the day at the North Shore of O’ahu with
Kathy today. We stopped and had lunch at the Grass
Skirt. Yummy pulled pork sandwich served
on Taro buns. Taro is a plant that has
been cultivated for centuries by the Hawaiian People. The taro root is cooked
and mashed to make poi, a traditional Hawaiian staple.
Then we headed to Hale’iwa Ali’I Beach Park. There we had some good down time sitting on
the beach, enjoying each other’s conversations, watching the ocean wave’s crash
in, listening to the palm trees sway in the breeze, and reading. We got to see two hump back whales out in the
water playing. Before heading for home
we stopped at Matsumoto’s for shaved ice.
I must say I believe they have the best shaved ice on the island.
Once arriving back home I got dinner started. Tonight’s dinner: Caribbean Flounder. The recipe calls for rice. However, I had some red skin potatoes that
needed to be used up. I steamed up the
potatoes with some garlic water. From there
I followed the recipe as directed. (Added
the potatoes instead of rice)
