		<description><![CDATA[I've mentioned that we like to do the tourist thing every now and then, and that includes stopping for some Lappert's ice cream in Koloa when we come back from the beach in Poipu. The last few times we've gone,  our 2-year old daughter wanted to wander around the shops nearby&mdash;they have so many [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kauai is a small place with limited choice in the grocery stores, so if you come from elsewhere and you're hankering for what you used to eat "back home," you're going to be disapointed. Over time, you learn to live without. But sometimes, when you go looking, you just might find, you get what you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to give some details about the food and equipment I took on my recent 2.2-day hike on the Kalalau trail. While a 2-day hike is different from a 5-day outing, this can give an idea of the minimum needed. Here I am all ready to go at the trailhead:

KauaiAbundance.com




A neighbor of mine with a big yard and lots of fruit trees had the idea. He had so much fruit that he couldn't give it all away and some inevitably went to waste. Plus I [...]]]></description>

have you ever tried the blossoming lotus? heard it is amazing...

The Blossoming Lotus restaurant is indeed excellent, it was selected as the best restaurant on Kauai in 2006 by the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper. They serve "vegan world fusion" which means you'll discover new foods and flavors that mainstream restaurants [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Instead of going straight to the recipe, this pie has a bit of a story. First of all, lilikoi are passion fruit, also called maracuyá or granadilla in their native South America. The Hawaiian name comes from the valley where they first went wild on Oahu. They have since invaded all islands and several varieties [...]]]></description>

In the back, from left to right:

For the record, the fruit you see are apple bananas, starfruit, papaya, tangerine, and white pineapple, and there is passion fruit hidden at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know this is not authentic, but over time, my recipe for guacamole has turned into this:


	Fly to Kauai and buy one large avocado at the farmer's market*. Wait a day or two to let it ripen perfectly.

	Spoon avocado into food processor, squeeze half a lime onto it.

	Add a half-bunch of cilantro leaves, without stems.
