This week has been terrific for our senses. First, we get the mandolin back, then a big damp box of Poi from Hanalei Poi on Kauai is delivered – this stuff is fresh, just made on Monday, wrapped in a box lined with frozen bags and two-day express shipped. And finally, this box of goodies arrives from Aloha Baskets & Balloons on the Big Island (808-935-1939). Sharla was delayed sending the cookies due to the earthquake Hawaii recently experienced, and to make up for the delay she included some freebies including delicious Pineapple Coconut Butter Cookies and Macadamia Nut Butter Cookies, both of these are from Mama Ellas of Hawaii, and a bag of Cinnamon Butter Hawaiian Topical Lavosh – from Rainbow Falls Connection. Also in the box were the Lilikoi (Passion Fruit) Butter Cookies I ordered for myself, and Caroline’s favorite – Mt. View Stone Cookies. Now, if I could just get those guys at the Koloa Fish Market in Kauai to send over their most awesome Poke Bento…or give us the recipe, come on guys we promise not to share it with anyone!!!!
