Waiting at the Falls

The Mouse serving as driver to The Cat and her school-mate, Waimea Valley Falls. The Mouse was getting kinda tired and didn’t want to attempt the easy hike, sat at the visitor center/staging area. Snack time. 😉

Iced Coffee

Very good coffee, dark and rich but not bitter. For The Mouse, no sugar needed.

Double Chocolate Muffin

The muffin had a slight molten chocolate texture, mmm. The coffee paired very well with the muffin. The Mouse was happy. 🙂

The Mouse also bought a cookie, just in case the wait was over the expected time (it was).

Oatmeal Cookie

Nice. Not as wow as the muffin but more than decent.

After snack, The Mouse went back to the car and took a nap. Hee hee.

Stay safe and well.

A Good Use of Sugarcane

A visit to a rum distillery. The Cat and The Mouse playing tourist with The Cat’s high school classmate.

Place

Tour explained the different sugarcane varieties, and the experimentation they are conducting. Afterwards, tasting. Hic!

Aging Barrels

Koa Aging Barrel

For special edition releases.

Bottle

The non-aged white rums were a little too harsh for The Cat’s and The Mouse’s palate. The aged rum was a little more acceptable, but the rum that is infused with chocolate was the most liked.

Due to research, The Mouse also acquired rum infused chocolate bars (Manoa Chocolate) and rum infused honey (Manoa Honey). (R. Field Wine and Company)

Keeping it local.

Stay safe and well.

Green River

The Mouse wanted green river. Old school. Not many places serve. Richie’s Drive In is one. Good thing it’s kinda on the way home.

Green River

Since The Mouse usually cannot drink it all in one sitting, he found the perfect container.

For Green River

And green tea. Hee hee.

Stay safe and well.

Try Try

Grocery store promotion, buy a single serve orange juice, get a free can of this.

Can

The Mouse tried. IMO, Meh. Kinda weird, but drinkable. Maybe it’s an acquired taste, but The Mouse likes cola and coffee, just not together. There’s a vanilla flavored one too. Maybe The Mouse will give that one a try try (only if it’s on promotion, hee hee). 

Stay safe and well.

Iced Green Tea?

At Yajima-Ya on Sunday, instead of iced water, they served iced green tea. Very refreshing. Server explained tea comes from Japan specifically for iced tea.

The Mouse bought from the grocery store yesterday.

Green Tea

Based on the pictures, this could be used for iced green tea? Maybe a project for The Mouse this weekend. Hee hee.

Stay safe and well.

Oh, and to those who served and are serving, thank you for your service and sacrifice.
