Foraging in paradise

I wish I brought my camera this year. Every year (for the past 12 or so) we’ve been lucky enough to spend a few months in Kauai. This year, it’s just 6 week because I got a hot new job and that’s as far as I could push it.

Today, Craig (le husband), Lori (le neighbor) and I went foraging in the jungley cliff behind our cool little Kauai villas.

We scored about 15 beautiful papayas and two big bunches of bananas.

One thing about the places we live is that foraging for food is a way of life. Here on Kauai it’s fruit fruit fruit, herbs, greens and sprouts. On Nantucket, it’s protein protein protein (fish, shellfish, game).  I don’t know how the foraging will be in DC, but I suspect it will be different…
