Cook the Book: Cowgirl Cuisine

italian sausage spaghetti with anything she could find. canned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, no tomatoes. always with plenty of olives and onions. the ultimate comfort food! (and this comes from a girl who can eat plain rice for breakfast)

Fast food regional items - do you try?

yeah, hawaii also had taro pies (in addition to apple pies) and i think maybe haupia (coconut) pies too. was the teriyaki burger sold all over? teriyaki is a big deal in hawaii! i think china also had taro items on their menu, as well as teriyaki burgers.

How to Make Spam Musubi

dear kathy (and robyn and serious eats for that matter),

you've made me homesick for hawaii twice this week. i can't decide whether to be mad/sad, or to thank you for spreading the aloha :)

Snapshots From Hawaii: Spam Musubi

chantilly cake from liliha bakery! apparently chantilly in hawaii is different from chantilly anywhere else?

Anyone know how to make a decent teriyaki burger?

Oh man, I wish I could help! I LOVE teri burgers, and there are so many teriyaki things in Hawaii! Too bad I'm not there now. We usually eat May's brand teri burgers, but I don't know if you can buy them outside of Hawaii. It seems like a lot of teriyaki sauce involves shoyu (soy sauce) and sugar though.

Gotta be turkey with some fresh pesto and provolone. Scratch that...any cheese is good!

Stately Scoops: What Ice Cream Flavor Represents Your State?

Hawaii could definitely have any number of flavors...taro (because of poi), haupia (a coconut dessert), mango, pineapple, Kona coffee, macadamia nut, li hing mui (a sweet-sour Chinese spice that goes on everything!)...I don't know how we'd choose! Hm, we could even have Spam flavor...
