So I mentioned the other day that local Big Island Brew Company Hawaii Nui Brewing will be sponsoring this blog. I guess before I seal the deal… I need to figure out which premium beers of theirs is my favorite. I’m fortunate that Cash & Carry here in Pahoa happens to be the only place [...]

I’ve had an overwhelming amount of people asking about the video I posted a while back on the Historic Hawaii Footage from 1916. If you haven’t seen it yet, I do recommend you take a few minutes to view it. I had been wondering who played that song that was being played in the background [...]

I can’t verify the story that is posted below. I’m just passing along something I read. I’m sure the Star-Bulletin probably turns down a lot of ads… I wonder how long they will be in Business? $7,000 probably could have paid the salary of two staff members for a couple of months. Despite offering the [...]

Effective Wednesday, the sport will be a sanctioned, licensed event [...]

Tonight’s dinner… It’s all in the legs: I love King Crab… and I’m beginning to actually like it more then “Dunegeoness” crab. For the next few nights, we have Ohana that has come in from the mainland, as well as some Ohana that will be leaving for the mainland. Food is a great way to [...]

I have to wonder if people are going to protest Ulupono the way they are complaining about Woodland Center. Every little shopping center seems to have some restaurant.
