GMO Free Hawaii Island: Governors Announcement Raises Concern, Suspicion by Kauai Residents

“It seems that the Governor has started to realize the seriousness of the pesticide issues on Kauai,” said Gary Hooser, Kaua’i County Council Member and co-sponsor of Kaua’i County Bill 2491. “But the measures announced by the Governor are woefully inadequate to properly protect the people of Kaua’i. The Governor’s unspecific promises are certainly not a replacement for the strong set of mandates and protections that would be guaranteed under Bill 2491.”

18 Bay Restaurant – Shelter Island – NY

You must go, Thursday thru Monday – and say hello from Gloria & Steven.

Last night we picked up some friends in our truck and took the ferry to Shelter Island to try 18 Bay. WOW, the food was elegant, yet in a casual setting of an old house. The combinations of fresh and flavorful, farm to table…. I can’t say enough… Bravo to Elizabeth Ronzetti and Adam Kopels.

After desert, as if we needed anything else, Adam brings out fresh paw paw, have you ever had paw paw? It’s in the same family as papaya, does anyone have it growing in Hawaii? I’ll put up a link about it tomorrow.

For amazing photos of their beautiful food that will make your mouth water, be sure to click on all the pages of their site.
