On October 26, The Garden Cafe in Kilauea will start selling Akamai Juice Company Wellness Shots and Hot Shots. When Dan and I covered Akamai Juice, and owner Cas Schwabe Lutton, for the January 18, 2012 issue of MidWeek Kauai, we got to try these shots.

I just paid for them and put them in my bag. They were going into a Spanish omelet for dinner, along with some young onions. When I got home, I opened the recycled, grocery store carton, and was alarmed to see bits of dirt, and what I imagined to be poop, clinging to the eggs.

My first thought was, “UGH! There’s got to be salmonella on these shells! When I crack these eggs open, it’s going to get inside!” I carefully laid them in a sink full of water, and scrubbed them clean. Then I scrubbed my hands and the sink. I was horrified, and immediately called one of my favorite farmers. Continue Reading →

Makana Terrace is couched along the west side of the luxurious St. Regis Princeville Resort and overlooks Hanalei Bay. You can sit inside, or outside on the lanai next to a reflecting pool. The pictures I’ve included are from the Kauai Grill, which is also in the St. Regis. I posted them because the chefs at Kauai Grill also cook for Makana Terrace, and as you can see, they can cook! Continue Reading →
