Ho Da ‘Ono!

Last Saturday Nolemana had to do two appraisals on da makai side of town. Kinda near Uwajimaya! Too bad, yeah?

So I wen ask him foa stop by and get a few things like kal bi, Aloha Shoyu, Aloha Guava-Pineapple Teriyaki Glaze and raisin bread.

And oh. Dis too.

Ho da ‘ono, yeah?

I wen puttem in one of my tūtūwahine’s old wooden bowls. Looks like da pua tryin’ foa suck up my lychee!

I like photographing dem wit da melemele Angel’s Trumpet.

I been whackin’ lychee every singo day, lychee juice running down my chin, all ova my hands. I get one moa day left den nomo.

Den I hope we get moa appraisals on da makai side of town. Oa I could holoholo ka‘a ova to Fubonn. I bet dey get!! But gotta go wikiwiki cuz pretty soon nomo even dea!

    Oh yummers! Wouldn’t it be nice to have a great big tree in the yard so any time can have when we get the urge? Lychee heaven!

  5. Me, too! Do you know, I’ve never even had a fresh lychee? Always canned! Where’s you get those from?

    Also, loquats. I NEED loquats.

    PS I’m so glad you enjoyed your drive out Hood River way, and my photos, too!

    Your post and the comments are making me know I am missing something very fine in life-tropical fruit. I don’t know what that is in the bowl-lychee-I guess I’ve heard of it-boy do I sound like a hick!-but never saw one or anything….The flowers look so beautiful.
    Love your visits to my bloggie.
    Love, Debra
