hawaii series

06.27.2015: glimpses

July 1, 2015

What they say is absolutely true – it goes by so, so fast.  Our wedding week feels like a series of barely-focused snapshots, a string of moments that wink like fairy lights:  B2’s parents’ living room in the 6am blush of a quiet Honolulu morning, ironing the iridescent folds of a hanbok for our paebaek ceremony.   Hearing my bridesmaids before I ...

June 24, 2015

It’s almost here!  We’re actually, really, truly getting married this Saturday and I'm so excited I can't sit still.  This is the last post in this series on our reception food, and after that I'll finally stop yammering to you about it -- in three days, we’ll be noshing on these caramelized onion & Boursin tartlets, this spicy ...

strawberries & cream miniature chiffon cake

June 18, 2015

Early mornings in the summer are my favorite.  That cool, crisp sheen over everything, a dewy freshness that heat and humidity haven't quashed yet. I used to dog-sit for our neighbors back in the 7th or 8th grade, and while you couldn't find me up before 11 any other morning, on those days I'd roll out of bed and pad across the driveway in the rosy ...

spicy ahi poke, avocado & rice “parfaitinis”

June 15, 2015

It's our wedding menu!  Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing homemade versions of some of our reception eats, our cake, and our wedding favors.   You can see the recipe for one of our cocktail hour appetizers here! As much as I care about food, choosing our wedding caterer was kind of a black box for us.  We wanted the food to be, you know, ...

birthday malasadas with guava and lilikoi filling

June 5, 2015

It's the last installment in B2's birthday series!  You can see parts one (hurricane popcorn!) and two (chicken katsu plate lunch!) here. These babes aren't something that B2 actually ever requested I make -- I think I mentioned homemade malasadas once, way back, and B2 chewed on the idea and said it just sounded like too much work to make at ...

chicken katsu, mac salad & rice: a birthday hawaii plate lunch!

May 27, 2015

"Chicken katsu, katsu sauce, one scoop of mac salad, and two scoops of rice!" These are the precise (and enthusiastically recited) makings of Bowl #2's dream plate lunch-slash-birthday-request -- shatteringly crisp Panko-crusted chicken thighs, juicy inside and deftly sliced, zealously dunked in a smoky-sweet-tart katsu sauce (mysteriously made, ...

hurricane popcorn

May 20, 2015

Right around this time two years ago, I christened this baby-blog with a little birthday series for Bowl #2 -- they were something like my third, fourth, and fifth posts, and they were recipes for some of his favorite foods from back home in Hawaii.  With another one of his trips around the sun approaching (and because I can never have enough food ...
