If you think you're having a bad day, someone in Lahaina has it worse.
I'm not having a bad day. Was going to take a surfing lesson, but the waves were so rough that the shop called the whole thing off, which was, frankly, a relief, as I'm not the surfing type and would have made a fool of myself. I went parasailing instead. I'm not the parasailing type either, but it's harder to make a fool of yourself 1200 feet in the air. No, tragedy is the downside of parasailing. I was thrilled to try it once and relieved when it was over.
After that: lunch at Aloha Mixed Plate, a shacky place by the beach where I would be happy to eat every day.
There was also poi, but it's easy to resist poi. Doesn't it look like plum baby food?
In any case, I had to save room for shave ice.
After some internet research and asking around, I discovered that two West Maui shave ice shops come highly recommended: Ululani's and Annie's, which are a few blocks away from each other in Lahaina. After lunch, my intention was to try both.
First: Ululani's, which is so hidden back behind a cluster of shops on Front Street that I almost couldn't find it. Working the counter was David, an Oahu native who is married to Ululani.
That's his arm. I should have taken a picture of his face and done a proper interview about shave ice -- like, how exactly do you make it? who invented it? are you aiming for grainy or velvety? what goes into the syrups? -- but I was bashful in the moment. Maybe I'll call. Instead, we just chatted. He rued the cost of food here on Maui, that an 18-count box of eggs costs almost $5. I told him he should get chickens. He didn't seem to believe me, which means he is smart. He told me I wouldn't like the salty plum shave ice. I thought I would. He gave me free cream on top of my shave ice and said to come back later and try more flavors
.
I wish I could. This shave ice is hands-down the best I've had in my life, which is to say, in the last 36 hours. The texture was like powder snow, the flavors, bright and pure. I couldn't stop eating Ululani's shave ice and by the time it was all gone I was too full for Annie's.
I did
drive by Annie's and though it looks very cute
I have to leave tomorrow and won't be able to try it.
you were seriously going to go surfing?!?!?!?!?! that would be so funny! no offense though! i cant believe your in Hawaii. jealous.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it would be THAT funny.
ReplyDeleteI've tried the one with the cream on the top. (Is it condensed milk?) It's a little too much for me.
ReplyDeletehow much of this article is going to be about shave ice?
ReplyDeleteMargaret -- what, you don't think the whole article should be about shave ice????
ReplyDeleteAzure Song -- he didn't put very much 'cream' on there and it looked more like evaporated milk. It poured too easily to be condensed.
i think i'm with thanksalot on this one. surfing lessons could have been quite amusing--especially if there was video, backed by some dick dale music.
ReplyDeletemeanwhile, i am too think to get the portland headline. can you explain?
Sorry -- that headline was obscure. 503 is an Oregon prefix. A cell phone, I guess.
ReplyDeleteaha!
ReplyDeletethanks for the explanation.
where in the world is tipsy now?

تسرب المياه تعتبر مشكلة تسرّب المياه من المشاكل التي تؤرق الأفراد بشكل كبير؛ وذلك لما تُلحقه من ضرر بالمباني والمنازل، لذلك لا بد من السعي الدؤوب للكشف عما إذا كان هناك تسريب مائي أم لا. ويُعرف تسريب المياه بأنّه خلل يطرأ على توصيلات المياه بمختلف أشكالها، سواء كان ذلك في مواسير الصرف أو أكواعها أو مختلف أجزاء مواسير المياه، ومنها: الحنفيات، والخزانات، والسخانات، فيتسبب ذلك الخلل بخروج المياه من المسار المحدد لها إلى محيط المواسير فتتجمع المياه بالقرب من الأماكن المحيطة بالتسريب كالأرضيات والجدران فتلحق الضرر بها نتيجة تفاعلها مع مواد البناء، وتآكل الحديد وتهالك الخرسانة، وبالتالي تفاقم المشاكل في حال التغاضي عن علاجها.
