hawaii: The calamonsi fruit is the perfect size for you - 04/30/23 03:13 PM
The calamonsi fruit is the perfect size for youCalamonsi/Calamondin:  These little citrus fruits are just the right size for individual servings... in a cocktail, or on a plate with some fish/seafood.  Native to the Philippines, you'll find them in many Hawai'i gardens, and if you're lucky they bear fruit all year round, like the tree pictured above.  You might also try growing them in your climate, if you bring the potted plant indoors for the winter months. 
You can pick them while still green, for a tart flavor, or wait until they ripen to orange for a delicious sweet/sour burst.  They also … (11 comments)

Fair housing laws - protected classes in HawaiiWe all know that due to the Fair Housing Act there are federally protected classes of people who cannot be discriminated against regarding housing or real estate issues .  There are stiff penalties for violating the Fair Housing Act.
In Hawaii we also have some additional classes who are protected from discrimination in any real estate transaction or advertising.  Here's the brief list:

People in Hawaii can go outside without a mask!
Yay - we have turned a corner and it feels great.  Whether you're vaccinated or not, you can take off the face mask when outdoors, providing it's not a crowded event that is.  Our sunny and breezy weather makes for a perfect case of not needing that extra protection from the Corona virus.
Here's a link to the Maui News update ...
Of course, some will still choose to wear the mask, and that's OK.  I really think the masks will be here to stay and I won't mind using one when the time is … (16 comments)

hawaii: Can you ever get tired of this beach scene at Kuau Maui? - 03/05/20 05:35 PM
Can you ever get tired of this beach scene at Kuau Maui? 
It's not the first time, and it won't be the last, for me to show off this beautiful peaceful beach scene in front of Mama's Fish House in Kuau Maui Hawaii.  When we lived just a few houses away from this beach, I would walk to the beach every morning and comb the sand for seashells.  The tidepools are great for dipping in, with no worries about getting swept out to sea.

If you ever get a chance to eat at this award winning restaurant, then you'll have to take … (13 comments)

hawaii: Grateful for so much good food today and everyday on Maui! - 11/28/19 07:33 PM
Grateful for so much good food today and everyday! Living on Maui is the best!
Living in Hawaii means access to good fresh food every day of the year.  Not only from our own gardens, but also from local shops and farmers markets, and restaurants.

Haliimaile General Store - sashimi appetizer
We usually have something growing and eat our own produce all the time.  These days it's oranges and star fruits from the orchard, and pasture raised beef and wild pork in the freezer.  We have our own egg laying hens, though sometimes I wonder if they aren't pets more than producers!

Video at the Maui Aloha Classic - windsurfing contest Oct 2019
Here's a link to a short video taken at Ho'okipa Beach Park, in Paia Maui.  The PWA Aloha Classic was on hold because the waves were too big and dangerous.  This annual competition pits the best men and women windsurfers in the world.  But despite the lack of contestants battling it out on the waves, the beach scene was colorful and interesting, as it usually is.
Thanks for watching.  I hope you enjoy this small glimpse of life on Maui's north shore, when the waves are pumping!

Springtime in Hawaii - tropical flowers are blooming.
There's no end to the beautiful flowers in Hawaii.  Here's some colorful hibiscus flowers growing at the Hawaiian Sea Spirits Organic Vodka Distillery, in Kula Maui.  On a recent tour we enjoyed the grounds and the sugar cane plants.  It's a beautiful spot to take a tour and enjoy the scenery too.

Halama St. in Kihei Maui - an oceanfront neighborhood
If you want an oceanfront home in Kihei Maui, the options are somewhat limited, because much of the coastal real estate is taken up by condominium resorts, and beach parks.  South Kihei Road is the main artery along the coastline, and there's a few streets that extend beyond this and offer some neighborhoods with single family homes.  Uluniu Rd. is one, and Halama St. is another.  Let's see what's happening on Halama St....
Halama Street - runs between Kalama Park to the south, and up to W. Kapu Rd. to the north.

hawaii: Picking papayas from the tree in Haiku Maui Hawaii - 02/27/19 03:53 PM
Papayas are a favorite tropical fruit around the world.
We are blessed with a bounty of papayas this season, despite the wet winter.  It seems the rich soil from the previous veggie garden has made a big difference.  So I put together a short 1 minute video to show what the trees look like and how to pick the fruits, since many people have no idea where papayas come from.
It takes about a year to year and a half from planting to picking.  To really be on top of things you'd be starting more seeds every year or two to replace the … (7 comments)
