Lost in Paradise is how I would describe yesterday's beach/forest trail that led us past crabs climbing on rocks, mongoose dashing across the trail, horses around the stables, a lone Pillbox, and finally to an iconic Banyan Tree famous for recurring roles in the television series "Lost" and an appearance in "Pirates of the Caribbean". My mother-in-law was on island visiting for a week, so Marina, Sarah, and I took her on a hiking adventure...followed up by a thirst quenching Bacon Basil Bloody Mary. I have previously explored trails with my mother-in-law. We have trekked through mud and mosquitos at Manoa Falls, walked up a windy Makapu'u, huffed up Hau'ula Loop, strolled the North Shore's Waimea Falls and Kahuku Point. So, this visit was no different. We found ourselves hiking pals again for two separate trails this trip, the Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail being the best of the two. This trail begins in the far corner of the Turt...
...minus the frisee and minus the bacon. I made my own dressing again, however, and toasted fresh bread...in restaurant terms, a baguette. It was just like CPK. This was all I had for dinner. No snack later either. It is possible to change...for one day anyway. I found it difficult to locate the special hair like looking lettuce known as frisee. And you know I don't eat bacon anymore, so, I substituted the lettuce for pretty, fancy lettuce from Times Supermarket, added my blue cheese crumble, slapped the baguette on the side, sprinkled dressing over the top and called it done. The boys enjoyed it, although not as much as previous, more ingredient rich salads. But in the heat of the summer, there really is nothing like a crisp, light salad. Anyway, today is birthday party Saturday, so we had to eat light as to make up for any fried, cupcake, heart attack inducing foods we may be consuming in large quantities today.
