Kauai 2012

I found a new app that will allow me to blog from my iPad so I'm doing a little practice post.
While on our last visit to Hawaii Dale and I took a little side trip to Kauai for sentimental reasons as that is where we spent our honeymoon. We did the usual touristy things like visiting the Waimea Canyon to Hanalei Valley.
Ok, now I've inserted a picture of Dale at Waimea Canyon and chose that this picture should be on the left of the screen with the writing around the picture, but it is clearly not happening right here. Perhaps when I publish this will right themselves.
Whenever Hawaiians return to their hometown, they will eat everything in site because they can't get it anywhere else: sushi, saimin, dim sum, shave ice.... Talk to any Hawaiian and we are always talking about food. We can't help ourselves and there is nowhere else that serves the same kind of food as they do in Hawaii. Even Chinese food elsewhere is "different."
Because Dale and I had been on Weight Watchers, we had stayed away from anything white which it turns out to be almost anything delicious in Hawaii. Friends and family told us to be sure to eat at Hamura's. It's a local noodle joint in Lihue, Kauai. We did and this time instead of sharing a bowl of saimin, we each had one along with sticks of teriyaki. Pictures will follow. The first picture is of the teriyaki sticks, then saimin then the jar of Hawaiian chili pepper water. It was heaven and like the movie, "Ramen Girl," it was all in the broth. We were both in carbohydrate heaven!

At left is a picture of Dale at Waimea Canyon.
Chili pepper water. Hawaiians love this local spice concoction that can heat up anything.
The works saimin. It's been in the 30's this evening and a hot bowl of this could hit the spot right about now.

Well, this post was a little frustrating as you have to know a little html to insert text with the pictures. It's a little frustrating, but I did it. Can't figure why html code appears on one of my pictures. The tags appear to be ok in the draft. Oh well, I learned something new today!
