On my 30th birthday, I made a list of 30 things I wanted to make and blog while I was 30. Then life got in the way. Majorly. Not that it was all bad. I mean, I had some serious drama and challenges, but I also got engaged and spent a big part of my 30th year planning my dream wedding to the love of my life. (Pictures as soon as I have them, I promise!) In light of that, I decided to amend my 30 While 30 List to become a list of 31 While 31.
I knew I wanted to choose the new item on my Hawaiian honeymoon. I wasn't sure what it would be, but M and I were on the hunt from the moment we took our first bite in Kaua'i. Let me tell you, readers, it didn't take long. In fact, we found the 31st dish during dinner the first night of our honeymoon.
There we are. What you see behind us is the view from our table. M had made reservations for the most romantic table at Hukilau Lanai overlooking the ocean. (I love him!) Before our meal, we had an appetizer of lobster and local goat cheese wontons. They were delicious. But the amazing awesomeness was yet to come. Enter the coconut curry lobster bisque. Oh goodness. Words can't even describe how incredible it was. Creamy, spicy, and smooth, it was perfection by the spoonful. It took M and I all of one bite to know this recipe was the one.
So, here it is. My amended list. 31 While 31 I'm calling it. I hope you'll enjoy.
