At the end of April I went to Hawaii with my boyfriend and my family. We had such an amazing time, and I have meant to post some pictures ever since! Now it’s JUNE and here I am finally doing it. Anyway, there are still some wild chickens in Hawaii, and I snapped a few photos of them. The first one of the hen with her chicks is my favorite–could they BE any CUTER??:

As for food, I was glad I did my research on where to find vegan food on Oahu. If I hadn’t, I would have missed out on one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Oh. my. gosh. The last day we were there, we drove around Honolulu trying to find this hole in the wall deli called the Wellbento. I am SO glad we did, because this Cajun BBQ tempeh served with roasted root vegetables, rice & gravy, and vegan macaroni salad & coleslaw was seriously a major highlight of my trip. Forget all the beaches, bring on the tempeh! 
It was ridiculously good, and I’ve since tried to recreate the tempeh with some success, though mine’s not nearly as good as theirs. If you ever go to Honolulu (or if you live there), you HAVE to seek this place out!

Also, if you are a sushi fan, check out Banzai Sushi Bar in Haleiwa on the north shore. It had a few different veggie sushi options, which you could order without seaweed! This sushi was wrapped with soy paper. I can’t stand seaweed, so this was much better! I’m still not a huge sushi fan, but this was much better than a lot of other sushi I’ve had! And it’s pretty to boot!

Hmmm, that sounds and looks so yummy!
I’m glad you had such a good time, and the chickens are adorable!
You might be the only other person I know who can’t stand seaweed. I didn’t know you could have veggie sushi without it – awesome.
Adorable chickens. I’ve never seen them wild. Great pics.

Oh wow, what pretty chickens (can a chicken be pretty – I think so!)
And yummy food
