"Holo Holo Destinations"
Our recent jaunt to Carmel reminded me of another pleasant wintry vacation we took, in 2009 before this blog was even a twinkle in my eye. I had been in the greater Phoenix for a few weeks, and my husband drove out with the dogs to stay with me for the latter part of the trip. [...]
We just got back from our four day/three night holo holo getaway to Carmel. I don’t know the last time I’ve been to Carmel – over a decade ago, I think. Most of the action in Carmel takes place on or around Ocean Avenue, which comprises the district known as Carmel-by-the-Sea. This is where you’ll find [...]
Last night, I slowed down long enough to think, 2010 is over! Are you having a hard time believing (like I am) how fast this year went by? I once read that life is almost like a road trip – it seems to go by faster the older we get, just like the return trip [...]
About
I like Zip mins, spam musubi, and the butterfish misoyaki at The Cal. I've never been a fan of the loco moco but, now that I'm 3000 miles from my hometown of Honolulu, Hawaii, nearly everything from the islands makes me salivate. I currently live (and cook) in the San Francisco bay area, and have inevitably fallen in with "buying local" and organically-grown foods. I enjoy recreating the foods I grew up with - recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation in my family. And, as a working home cook, I try to prepare a lot of fast and healthful meals. Part recipe book, part cultural memoire, and travel journal, here is where I document all of my gastronomical experiences. I think of my kitchen as a blend of past and present, and I believe that where we call home is what we serve on our plates. Questions or comments about anything here?
