Look at this cheeky little bugger, helping itself to some guy's breakfast while he was in the bathroom! That's the hazard of open-air restaurants.
Captain America cereal, eh? With "red and blue shield marshmallows" to boot. Oh you crazy Yanks, what will you think of next?
This is the most decadent dessert I've ever seen in my entire life -- the Polynesian Black Pearl dessert at Mama's Fish House near Paia. The black pearl is chocolate mousse nestled in macadamia nuts. The oyster shell is a thin cookie pastry hinged on whipped cream. Beautifully patterned caramel and chocolate sauce surround and set off the bottom shell. This work of art was almost too exquisite to eat!
ALMOST.

ReplyDeleteAhahaha that bird just helping itself! So funny....
ReplyDeleteThat dessert!!! Oh my!!! I bet it was totally delicious...

ReplyDeleteAmericans have become so lazy that they've actually trained small birds to feed them? It's almost ingenuous in a way.
ReplyDeleteThat dessert, I am sure, is better than a Twinkie; but I bet it doesn't have the shelf life.
ReplyDeletethe Ol'Buzzard
Fun stuff! That black pearl dessert looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing about character cereals is if you like them, enjoy it while you can before they replace it
ReplyDeletethat bird scored some great left overs lol, not afraid at all was it..
ReplyDeleteThat desert was amazing,,very fancy!!
The cereal is different for sure,

ReplyDeleteWhat WILL we think of next? Oh, wait. We've already done our worst.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Did you tell the guy that bird was eating his breakfast?
ReplyDeleteThis was fun! I had a good laugh with the bird. I saw the same type of boldness last year in Cuba.
ReplyDeleteWell, so glad to see you are back home. That dessert was scary looking 'till you described it..sounds luscious.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good vacation...and, again, glad to have you back.
Lovely dessert!!!!! I'd normally want to try it, but I'm still stuffed from yesterdays celebrating.
ReplyDelete@ Birdie -- No, we didn't. He was actually sitting way across the restaurant from us. My Rare One took the photo with her zoom.
ReplyDeleteWow-that dessert is glorious!
ReplyDeleteThe dessert is a pearl for sure!
ReplyDeleteYou do so love the islands, don't you??
ReplyDeleteMy kind of desert. My sugar would have probably exploded right at the table.
ReplyDeleteLOL! That is a cheeky dove! The desert looked amazing! I'm catching up and working backwards. I'll bet Maui was loads of fun!
ReplyDeleteI hope somebody told that guy that there was a pigeon in his food. Yuk! That desert look too good to eat. Well almost 😒
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic bird!
ReplyDeleteI always prefer open air restaurant but never left my food alone though. I found this pic of birdy quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteDessert looks yummy but loved your your description.
The breakfast looks ok. Even better if you don't have to share it.
ReplyDeleteBirds are quite entertaining.
ReplyDeleteThat dessert looked so damned good . Okay, I put on another 10lbs just looking at it. Go to Jan's blog http://octoberfarm.blogspot.com/2016/11/gingerbread-cake-with-molasses-cream.html, and you'll gain at least 20.
ReplyDeleteMaui? Lucky!! Americans use any shields available, even marshmallows! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe Black Pearl! Argh!!!! It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great trip, Debra. Welcome back to reality.
The bird seems to have table manners. It's using a fork.
ReplyDeleteFood porn. I had a seagull doing the same with my hakes leftovers in Devon.
ReplyDeletePaia - we had fun once walking around that cool village once. I don't recall where we ate but I did come home with a T-shirt.
ReplyDeleteThat dessert is to DIE FOR!!!
ReplyDeleteThat bird made me laugh! LOL! They are smart!!! That dessert looked amazing, WOW!!! I can just imagine how, rich, smooth and creamy it was!! Ok,, I really need to go to the gym! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat little bird is a zebra dove, an invasive species introduced to the Hawaiian islands by humans in 1922 and described by the guide as "very tame". Looks like you are having a wonderful time there and eating well.
ReplyDeleteI'm...almost speechless.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others that the cereal sounds awful but the dessert really is a piece of art. Sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat bird cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteA banner day for the bird (but that probably happens all the time.) :)
