Tasting Kauai

In today’s The Garden Island newspaper, our article “Bon appetit at Red Clay” reports on some tasty surprises at the final concert for this year’s Red Clay Jazz Festival, including the appearance of Jean Marie Josselin, and information on his new restaurant. If you’ve seen heart-shaped, fat and prickly green fruit piled on tables at the farmers market lately, that’s because it’s soursop season. In this Sunday’s On the Farm column, we report on its cancer healing properties as well as some chilly ideas for delicious consumption.

Tasting Kauai

Happy Aloha Friday! We had an exceptional week and hope you did too. Sunday is Father’s Day and I miss my father who is more than 3,000 miles away in Colorado. One of the greatest gifts he gave me, besides my very life (!) is a love for the outdoors. As a young, single adult, I would join him on Weekend Warrior expeditions. He’d drive his Ford Ranger up I-70, I’d pop in a mix tape and we’d both sing, gloriously off-key, to the Doobie Brothers, Billy Joel or the Rolling Stones:

“I’ve been holding out so long
I’ve been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I’ve been hanging on the phone
I’ve been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh”

Oh yea! It was that good. Once we got to the mountains, we’d lace up our hiking books and strap on our CamelBak or slip into cross-country skis and zip up our North Face jackets. Self propulsion, combined with clear skies and fresh air, nurtured easy companionship and cemented our relationship. Dad, who is now an 84-year-old stroke survivor, has gifted me with those memories, which I treasure often. I hope that my phone call this Sunday will be enough to express the gratitude and love I have for him. Here’s to dads everywhere! Mahalo for providing us with security, safety, love and memories that last a lifetime.

If you’re on Kauai, a great way to celebrate dad is with a pint and a cheer! In today’s The Garden Island newspaper, we report that Kauai Beer Company now serves food during Finally Friday. Chef Joe Fox makes flavorful, filling, beer friendly food, which is the perfect complement to cold pints that go down easy. This Sunday, in our On the Farm column, we showcase taro  from W.T. Haraguchi Farm. Continue Reading →
