Did I mention my other favorite thing about the Royal Hawaiian? The bed! Wonderful, soft, fluffy pillows! And the bed was so comfortable. I don't want to stay forever at the Royal Hawaiian, but I would pack up the bedfans take it with me if I could, lol! No such luck. Ah, well...
We had breakfast on the beach, then walked over to get my iPad looked at at the Apple Store. Turns out I was running out of memory because my apps didn't close when I thought they did! At least I now know what to do and how to clean things up.
A relaxing rest of the day, then back to Maui. Our plane was late (again). I don't have much faith that Island Air runs very efficiently! There is somewhat the same "island brain" here as there was in the Caribbean--people not really worried about when or if something gets done. It would make me crazy to live here year round!
I roasted chickpeas as we watched the rest of the Super Bowl. I took one can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained them, then rinsed them, then patted them dry and put them in a bowl. I then sprinkled them with 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper and 1/2 Tbsp of cumin powder. Toss to mix. I put a foil lined cookie sheet spread with a couple Tbsp of olive oil and heated the cookie sheet in a 450 degree oven for a couple of minutes, then put the chickpeas on the cookie sheet and baked them for about 12-14 minutes. Put them in a bowl to cool slightly, then serve warm. Yum!!
Dinner was Salmon with Sliced Zucchini wrapped in parchment paper and baked for 12 minutes. The salmon was flavored with lemon slices, a little butter, salt, pepper, shallot slices and fresh dill (from the pool area). I also roasted some potatoes to go with it. Dessert? Chocolate cake! We still have some left.
It's an early night tonight. Nice to be back on Maui safe and sound.
