Ah Summer...what a lovely time of year. Yes, here in Hawai'i it's a little hot, okay sometimes a lot hot, but it reminds us that we can easily go to the beach and enjoy. Summer has long days which let us come home from work, toss a few things in the car, and still have a couple of hours of daylight for beach time, family visit time, sitting in the yard time, visiting friends time, and just enjoying being together. Maybe your favorite places have names like Makena, Launiupoko, Kanaha or maybe Punalu'u, Ka'a'awa, or Ala Moana. No matter the name, the joy is still the same.
There is also nothing better than smelling barbecue...hibachi...grilling...or whatever you call it. Just the smoky smell of cooking, makes us all remember beach days, sun, and fun. Everything tastes better; vegetables, chicken, and of course meat, when done on a grill. Luckily there are always places that a good grilled "something" is available. I know it might not be what some say is healthy...but once and a while, ummmm.
So before our summer runs out, find some time to go to the beach, visit family and friends, and do a little grilling.
