Lisa Fuller and her husband Sun operate a bio-intensive farm called Kimu Aina and market organic produce under the name One Song Farm. The couple share 35-years of experience when it comes to growing organic food in the Islands. I will always remember my first interview with them.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Tacos and tequila are a classic culinary combination and in the hands of Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar, these favorites get a modern and slightly exotic twist. From now through June 19, Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar is featuring a “Tacos and Tequila” menu.  The month of May is the perfect time to eat, drink and celebrate — with Mother’s Day and the official kick-off of summer (Memorial Day Weekend) — it’s full of good times and festivities.  The feeling is just right this time of year, which is reason enough to relax, and as Tommy Bahama says, “Make Life One Long Weekend.™”
