  These days, there are choices to be made when it comes to ziplines around Hawaii. On Kauai, there are two. On Maui, three. And, now, on Hawaii Island, there are also three. On a recent trip to Hawaii Island, I chose Kohala Zip, primarily, for the new tour operator's environmental practices.

  Rather than say goodbye to Hilo, the biggest small town on the eastern side of Hawaii's Big Island, I'd rather just bid it a brief adieu. And with new direct flights from Los Angeles to Hilo launching today, it's a darn safe bet that we'll be back soon.

  They say travel nourishes the soul, of which I totally agree. I also think travel should nourish the appetite, as all that wandering about can build up a monster hunger. Continuing my journey around the island of Hawai'i, I had the opportunity to satisfy both a hunger for history as well as local eats while on the journey across the island.

• FoodTrek: Don’t Listen to that TLC Song – Go Chase Waterfalls, Especially in Hawaii

  firefly

  24 Aug 2011 | 1:45 pm

  Don't go chasing waterfalls... The hip hop trio of TLC clearly never visited Hawai'i. This song is bogus! Contrary to their advice, you should chase waterfalls. Because they're quite pretty. And chase other adventures when visiting the island of Hawai'i because you know what? It's a great excuse to have a big, delicious meal to reward your adventuresome stomach -- I mean spirit.

  “Even when the love’s gone, don’t I know it? Even when the love’s gone, don’t I show it?” The end of romantic love is such a private affair. It is a room big enough for only two. When two mature adults have decided to put an end to what they’ve had, to go their separate ways, it is a deeply painful experience, unique in its ability to go straight to our core. It is an exercise in nostalgia and a fragile understanding cobbled out of battered emotions and the will to press on. There is no such thing as a clean end, either. Love goes on. It may take…

  “Something must be wrong. You give me emotional artifacts that can find no purchase.” You were never going to stick. You just weren’t one of those. You were a temporary salve for me: a way to hastily dress a wound so as not to be bothered by it. You were cold and hungry on the side of the road. I was a blanket; a hot meal. For a time, it was sustenance. It would do. And it did. Until it didn’t. There are so many ways to hide. We can thrust ourselves headlong into certain disaster. It’s a chilling prospect, the inevitability of failure. How big can we make this…

  Mole is one of the most enigmatic and interesting foods on earth. In Mexico , its preparation and final result depends on the diversity of ingredients used from city to city, and perhaps most importantly, on the personal preferences of the cooks. It is a very personal, unique dish that with the help of your imagination and personal touch, will reach new dimensions in your kitchen.

You can also substitute chicken breast in this recipe. Serves 4 Ingredients For the roulade: 1-lb. veal cutlet (ask the butcher to cut it about 5/8″ thick from a whole top round) Two pinches sea salt, finely ground 3 Leek Leaves, opened with the green tops cut off, softened in warm salt water 1 cup Wild Rice with Leeks and Portabello…

  This is an unusual combination of sweet flavors with spicy, hot sensations. Traditionally, cuisines from temperate regions of the world, as such as Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa and the Mediterranean have always combined these ingredients. This time we are celebrating these aphrodisiac flavors in the form of truffles. Be sure to allow yourself two days to craft this recipe, as the truffles need to sit overnight in the refrigerator.

  If you have looked at lots of blogs, you have probably noticed something. Very few of them use the full page feature. There is a good reason for this. Your blog’s sidebar is prime real estate because it catches the attention of your reader immediately. We all love those sidebars. As bloggers, they are calling to us to fill them with good stuff. But since most people are distracted by too many shiny objects, we must be careful with our choices. Sure, we want people to subscribe to our blog or newsletter.

• Remember That a Podcast is Just One Tool in Your Online Armoury

  Ewan Spence

  7 Feb 2012 | 10:00 am

  During the January just past, as people look at their New Year resolutions and decided to try out some new projects, I’ve had quite a few people come up to me (okay, pinged me on IM, but you get the idea) and ask about starting a podcast. While many of them are looking for more technical details, I’ve always asked them what they’re looking to get out of the podcast. I’m trying to figure out if a podcast is the right thing for them. In many circumstances, people are looking to explore the podcasting space, to find out how it all works, to see how they get on with it,…

• No, I Don’t Want to Sign Up for Your Mailing List (And Here’s Why)

  Allison

  6 Feb 2012 | 7:00 am

  I need more emails like I need a hole in the head. I recommend that every online content creator out there has a mailing list, but I actually sign up for very few of them personally. I think mailing lists are great, but some people could have more subscribers if they used their lists slightly differently. Here’s why I don’t sign up for your mailing list…and what you can do to change that: 1. You email me every post you write. I think having your RSS feed available via email is a really great idea. Lots of people prefer reading posts that way. Personally, though, I use…

  Instead of a bicycle built for two, local artist Manny Pangilinan crafted a wooden horse for two…two tykes, that is, which sent them rolling from one end of the room to the other. In Hawai‘i, Manny's known for his island-inspired art found in a variety of mediums – wood, paintings and murals. The wooden horse was just one of the many pieces he was inspired to create after he saw a need for it in his household; turns out, it became a hot item for parents seeking sustainable toys. One of many Manny creations: a whale-shaped towel rack (top) and a rolling horse dolly…

  If the bloody Blair Witch-style shot of the dead cameraman didn't freak you out, then maybe those creepy dolls hanging from the tree did. Last night's two-hour premiere of The River screamed with eerie scenes and rekindled a few recurring nightmares of mine. Filmed in Hawai‘i, the spooky new drama about the search for an explorer missing deep in the Amazon has already been compared to LOST and Paranormal Activity. But after the naked, moss-covered dolls scene, there was a frenzy of tweets comparing it to the 1990s horror film Chucky. The search is on for Dr. Emmet Cole, who…

  When reaching the serene state park on Wa‘ahila Ridge, cool, refreshing air instantly let's you know that you've made it to the top of St. Louis Heights, an area guarded by the vast Norfolk pine trees standing astutely at the park's entrance. They shade and protect the ridge while padding the ground with several layers of its soft pine needles. Wild chicken and roosters weave in and out of their firmly rooted trunks, and all is quiet. Wa‘ahila Ridge at sunset is a must-see if you're in the neighborhood. Unlike the crowded vista points on Round Top Drive and…

Working a radio shift at night, Bruce got a crash course on Hawai‘i culture during the day. That crash course took on new intensity when Hurricane Iniki hit the island of Kaua‘i on September 11 of that year. Bruce got to the island just after the impact. There was no way to get information to or from the island: telephone lines were down, and radio stations were off the air. “I left with a cassette tape recorder,…

There are a lot of local athletes who will now be able to participate in Special Olympics thanks to your generosity. I have to say, I am not sure I would ever want to do something like this again. It was the most awesome view I have ever seen and at the same time I think I was too nervous to completely enjoy it.

  McDonald's Hawaii held a tweetup to kick off the start of their annual Monopoly contest by having a Monopoly tournament. Because this year there is a 1 in 4 chance of winning something the tournament was run the same way. There were tables of four setup with a board on each table. The person on the table with the most assets at the end of an hour won a $25 Arch card. The deck was kind of stacked in "The Sumidas" favor considering there was only @mel808 and the boys sitting on their table. But that didn't stop it from being competitive. The little one wanted to win badly but…

• Record a Personal History & Stop the World

  Leslie Lang

  8 Feb 2012 | 10:34 am

  When I read this excellent essay at NPR’s website, I thought: That is why we take the time and make the effort to record people’s stories, their personal histories. Because it’s the stories that keep our parents, our grandparents, our siblings who died too early and cherished friends and great-grandparents and others from winking out of our memories. From npr.org: The Junkman And The Madonna September 20, 2010 by ROBERT KRULWICH  Now that it’s almost fall and there is a hint again of things passing, I think about a boy who once looked out a window, and wistful…

• Personal Historian

  Leslie Lang

  5 Dec 2011 | 1:34 pm

  Before It’s Too Late! Have you dreamed about recording a parent’s story? Or writing about the history of your family, and the path it took over the decades – now, while your grandparents can still tell you what they know? How about documenting the history of a company you built up from nothing, or recording the life of a long-beloved family home? Lots of people consider such a project, but often don’t actually get around to doing it — either because they lack the time, and/or, very often, because they don’t have the know how or specific skills to pull it all together.

• Books on Writing

  Leslie Lang

  1 Dec 2011 | 11:46 am

  I guess it’s no surprise there are so many books about writing. We writers need something to write about, and some of us write about writing. Writing is a craft that I continually work on. In college I majored in journalism, and since then I have continued to take writing classes (both in person and online), participate in professional writers’ groups and online forums, and sometimes in local writers groups — and I also read how other people have succeeded as writers. How they do it. Their tips. They’re just like us, most of those other writers. We’re all just…

• “Gathering Places” Tour a Success!

  15 Nov 2011 | 1:56 pm

  Our recent Historic Architecture Tour of Hilo went great! It was the second in a series of three tours we give on the Big Island each fall, and this one focused on “Gathering Places.” These tours, which are offered through Lyman Museum, are so much fun to research and lead.  It was Judith Kirkendall who designed them and she has brought me on to help. Judith is a historian and anthropologist (her dissertation was on the anthropology of food), lived for many years all over the world, and was formerly a University of Hawai‘i dean. She is just a lovely, interesting person. I am so…

• Message From The Dead

  18 Apr 2011 | 11:18 pm

  Except a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! A message to us from the dead, - from human souls whom we never saw, who lived perhaps thousands of miles away; and yet these, on those little sheets of paper, speak to us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers. -  Charles Kingsley (1819-1875)
