Hurricane Lala Lashes Hawaii’s Big Island but Avoids Landfall
The storm brought damaging winds and widespread power outages as its eyewall grazed the Big Island’s southern tip.

HAWAII HURRICANE LANDING
The County of Hawaiʻi, in coordination with the Hawaiʻi National Guard and U.S. Coast Guard, is conducting emergency evacuations in Nāʻālehu and Waiʻōhinu due to severe flash flooding.
Rising flood waters have cutoff road access in the community in Kaʻū, and the County has received reports of homes being inundated. National Guard high water vehicles are being deployed to access flooded neighborhoods

Hurrikan "Lala" bringt Starkregen und Stromausfälle nach Hawaii
Tausende Menschen sind ohne Strom, Straßen überflutet: Der Tropensturm "Lala" ist zum Hurrikan geworden und zieht dicht an Hawaii vorbei. Auch Maui und Oahu müssen sich auf Sturm und Starkregen einstellen.
The best ramen I’ve had in a very, very long time is the Ramen Bonbori at Midtown Eats food hall in Oahu. They share the space with Dragon Burger, which also does interesting Kyoto-style craft burgers (the yuzu and shiso burgers are excellent).
But the ramen is something else. Only ‘shio’ and ‘shoyu’ flavors (fish based). Excellent noodles and soup. Interesting ‘ginger’ foam that melts into the soup.
Bonbori is from Hokkaido
Oahu in general just has incredible food at very high standards
Favorite coffee in diff parts of Oahu from my short visit:

Franklin J. Schaffner – „Papillon“ (1973)
Einer der größten, spannendsten und schönsten Filme meines Lebens. Da gibt es gar kein Vertun. Außerdem die einzige Zusammenarbeit von Steve McQueen und Dustin Hoffman. Kein Wunder, dass ich diesen Film lieben musste. Und lesen Sie das Buch! (ARD, Wh.)

It's gotten very sunny, so the solar cooker is getting a lot of use.
Pic 1: Yesterday I made bread pudding with day-old danishes I got from a local bakery ($8 for 4 danishes, but each danish is quite large). I also used eggs from @saltphoenix , sweetened condensed milk diluted with water, cinnamon, and raisins soaked in a mix of water and a bit of vanilla extract. I didn't soak the danishes, just poured the mixed liquids over the top. It came out pretty delicious (and I have very high standards for bread pudding).
Pic 2: I just put a bunch of Lima beans from the garden into the solar cooker, for hummus later. I love the limas - they're so hearty and filling. They're easier and faster to shell compared to pigeon peas (which also do well at my place), but they do need something to vine on, and the plant doesn't last forever the way the pigeon pea trees do. Plus, they seem to produce at all times, whereas pigeon peas are mostly concentrated ~twice a year. I have plenty of both in dried form, but they both cook much faster when fresh.
My bilimbi tree (averrhoa bilimbi) has made a few fruit this year for the first time.
I had forgotten it was a bilimbi and assumed that it was a star fruit. The two are related and the trees look very similar. Pic 2 shows bilimbi leaves, and pic 3 shows star fruit.
Anyway, I don't know what I want to cook with these guys. Maybe they'd be good in a sour soup?
Apparently I have sacha inchi (aka "inca peanut", or plukenetia volubilis) growing.
This vine has been growing all over a brush pile (which is great - the faster brush piles get covered in living plants, the faster they'll decompose in the moist conditions created underneath) and I recently noticed the fruit pictured below.
I had no idea what it was and had to ask @saltphoenix , who solved the mystery for me 😅
I do remember buying a sacha inchi seedling some time ago, and I guess I planted it at the base of this brush pile, in the shade. I'm very happy to see it take off (although I'm worried it'll vine up a nearby 'ohi'a tree...) and am looking forward to trying the nuts sometime in the future. I hope it makes more fruit.

Have you had sacha inchi before? How do you use it?

When a strange, exotic, star-shaped edible charms its way into becoming a dietary staple…Raven Hanna (One Cacao Tree)
One of my favorite orchids is blooming right now. 🥰 I can see it from my desk.
I'm glad that I seem to have found a spot it likes - in the crook of an 'ohi'a tree. I've had succes with phalaenopsis up in the crooks of trees, so that their base is in shade, but the flower stalk can pop out into the clear area outside the tree/bush (presumably to be visible to pollinators).

ICYMI: "After a three-year push, #Hawaii officially has implemented a shield law to explicitly protect providers and patients of #GenderAffirmingCare for the #trans community.
"House Bill 1875, also known as Act 059, was signed by Governor Josh Green—himself a physician—late last week. The bill explicitly adds gender-affirming care to its existing shield law, which broadly covered reproductive health, and established safeguards from “abusive litigation” coming from outside states."
