Hey everybody, I'm heading out to Hawaii for a couple weeks in February for some Mt. biking, ultimate, and hiking and I could use some help in a couple areas... First, good restaurants. I'll be on Oahu for a little bit, Big Island, and Kauai. I'm hoping to find some good local food maybe with a little heat thrown in there as well. Any suggestions on where to go or not go? Second, would anyone have some good ideas or recipes for couscous, pasta, or other 'one pot' meals I can cook on the trail with ingredients I won't be able to refrigerate? I'll be bringing along a small canister of dried pequins & habs for flavor and could use a little direction for quick meals other than the old standard mac & cheese. Thanks everyone. -mike =================================================== Mike Szwaya City of Portland - Bureau of Environmental Services 1120 S.W. 5th Ave. Portland, OR 97204-1972 (503) 823-6993 Fax: (503) 823-7110 MikeS@bes.ci.portland.or.us "I haven't committed a crime.
