2010 Year in Pictures

Kim Steutermann Rogers
Destination: Hawaii Island
Article Source: Blog Post
In 2010, I traveled around the main Hawaiian Islands, exploring Oahu, Maui, Big Island and, of course, the island on which I live--Kauai. I always pack one of my various cameras when I travel, either my handy iPhone, portable Canon G9 or my SLR, a Canon 20D with a variety of lenses, including a fun and funky Lensbaby, walk-around 17-85mm, and a super-telephoto Tokina 75-400mm. I take way more pictures than I ever post on this blog. Here, in a review of 2010 in pictures, are many of those images that, for one reason or another, were never published. Enjoy.

Where Are Hawaii's Breadfruit Trees?

Destination: Hawaii Island
Article Source: Blog Post
Last month, my friends Charlie and Susan, along with their daughter Andy, decided to experiment with breadfruit. They bought ulu at a local farmers market--Kapaa, I believe--and made muffins and breadfruit salad. The gracious people that they are, they shared the quite tasty results of their efforts with me, stirring me to ask, between bites, why aren't more people growing breadfruit trees in their yards in Hawaii?

From Watermark Publishing, The Farmers Market Cookbook is chock full of recipes and ideas of what to do with those interesting fruits and vegetables you find at farmers markets across Hawaii.

Going Vegan at Roy's Waikiki Beach Restaurant

Article Source: Blog Post
The hum of Roy’s Waikiki Beach restaurant was in full swing. Every table in the open-style dining room was taken, a buzz of conversation floated throughout the room. In the exhibition kitchen, sous chef, line cooks and expediters swirled around executive chef Jason Peel, making the restaurant’s signature dishes, like misoyaki butterfish, braised short ribs and, of course, Roy’s ever-popular chocolate souffle.

How To Surf Without Getting Wet

Destination: Oahu
Article Source: Blog Post
Stop by Nico’s at Pier 38, because a surfer has to fill up the tank for a good workout. If you’re up for the dawn patrol, order the fish and eggs. If you’re more of a late riser, go for the Furikake Pan-Seared Ahi with Ginger-Garlic-Cilantro dip. And you don’t have to stop at the ATM before you head out. Prices are shockingly reasonable, especially for the portions and quality. Read More
Talk of the town Restaurant

Destination: Oahu
Article Source: Blog Post
A group of us dined the other night at a restaurant called town (note to grammarians: yes, lower case "t"). The restaurant sits atop a hill in Kaimuki, a vibrant, old neighborhood community that is tucked behind Diamond Head, just mauka of the H1 and east of Manoa. Read More
Sharks, Shrimp & Pie

Article Source: Blog Post
I convinced my co-worker Andrea to kick off a couple hours early and take me to one of her favorite snorkeling beaches—Shark’s Cove, a few miles past Waimea Bay on Oahu’s North Shore. She seemed gung ho, but when I upped the offer with dinner at a nationally-recognized shrimp truck, she was all in, as they say. Read More
Wailana Coffee House

Article Source: Blog Post
In the Hawaii Five-0 scene, Steve McGarrett sat at a booth across from a new member of his 5-0 task force at the Waikiki diner, the Wailana Coffee House. Their verbal banter aside, McGarrett was really on a stake-out. Detectives Danny Williams and Chin Ho Kelly paced the sidewalk outside, on the corner of Ala Moana Boulevard and Ena Road, in contact with McGarrett by a wireless radio ear piece. I sit across from the booth at which McGarrett sat, long vacated by the special ops lieutenant commander, of course. Read More
No More Shark's Fin Soup

Article Source: Blog Post

Scratch shark’s fin soup off the menu. It was bound to happen. Either the restaurants would run out of shark fins themselves, because certain shark species are near extinction. Or our society would wake up and say, “No more.” The latter happened. A year ago, then Governor Linda Lingle signed a bill into law that made the possession, sale, trade or distribution of sharks and shark parts—that is, fins—illegal.
