The Steak Shack
It has been all too long since we had a chance to come to the Gathering Place, Oahu. Our last visit to the islands had to be delayed, so Robin could undergo heart valve surgery. I am glad to say that she is fine, and I am writing this morning from the Hale Koa on Oahu. We had to chance to bring grandpa back with us, to begin our retracing of the steps that Nana Green took many years ago, when she came to the islands to teach children with dissabilities. It is a project long overdue.
We found a new place for box lunches that we wanted to share with our friends on Hawaiian Life. It is called the Steak Shack. It is located on the beach, just outside the beach in front of the Hale Koa hotel, back toward the main beach at Waikiki beach. In many respects, Waikiki beach starts in and around the western area occupied by the Hilton Hawaiian and Hale Koa Hotels.
The Macadamia Nut and the Array of flavors
Hawaii’s favorite nut, the Macadamia nut and the array of flavors, is a big contributor to the economy of the Big Island and a top favorite among tourists. Native to Australia, the macadamia nut was introduced to Hawaii in 1882. However, it was only in 1946, after twenty years of extensive research on the appropriate strains, that the first plantation was successfully established.
An Insight to Hawaiian Fruits and Nuts
The pineapple may be king in Hawaii but when you have gained an insight into Hawaiian fruits and nuts, you will realize that there is a tremendously rich selection to be found on the islands. Few of the fruits and nuts are actually indigenous to Hawaii. The pineapple came via Spanish explorers from Mexico, the papaya by way of the Marquesa Islands and the macadamia nut was originally from Australia.
