It snowed again here on Beacon Hill. It's not sticking, but it sure does make me look forward to our three week long trip to the islands this June to celebrate our 1st Anniversary. We're going to revisit some of the places in Honolulu I saw as a child and many new places, and then we're going to return to the house in Hilo we were married in last June for a few days, then spend the remaining two weeks in a vacation home down near the Kapoho tidepools, on the South-East corner of the Big Island. I can't wait! It feels good on these cold Seattle winter days to think ahead to flip-flops and shorts, snorkeling, Mai tais, and getting to cook with amazing fresh produce and fish.
In the meantime, we'll be cooking up plenty of Hawaiian food here at home. Check out past posts tagged with 'Hawaiian' on my food blog for everything from very traditional fish & poi, fun recipes like mai tai cupcakes, and my recent post on our Sunday dinner of ahi katsu & coconut shrimp.
