I just found some awesome food games online...anyone else have any food games they like to play? Enjoy!
Make takoyaki! (Fried Japanese dough balls with octopus)
Build a strawberry cake by throwing strawberries off the side of a cliff
Yakiniku (Cook your own beef, now without the Korean BBQ smell)
all games from gamepuma.com
Shucks, the links didn't work (can you tell I'm new at this?) Anyway, here they are in order. Check them out, you won't regret it.

hawaiians on the mainland...aren't we lucky? you get to eat hawaii food AND tasty sugary things
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)
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.
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 :)
wahh you're making me so homesick! glad you liked the spam musubi. people just don't get it until they eat it, and then, well, you just can't stop! ah, i wish i had one now...
chantilly cake from liliha bakery! apparently chantilly in hawaii is different from chantilly anywhere else?
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!
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...
Whaaaa? I've never had it with furikake added, seems unnecessary?Soy Sauce and Sugar.. is a kind of teriyaki sauce... hey have you tried making teriyaki with brown sugar instead of white?? I LOVE IT. But hey, Using a press is soooooo cheating. Come on kids, do it by hand like the pros. (could you imagine a sushi chef trying to show off using a press??)
Bigany... you're gonna die earlier than most just from stressing out about what you eat. You don't eat Spam Musubi everyday, you just eat it once in a while. Haven't you ever heard the 80/20 rule? eat healthy stuff 80% of the time, you can at 20% CRAP and still be as healthy. You'll be much happier too!!
Can you really re-crispify nori in a pan???
Funny... i totally made Spam Musubi Fried Rice by accident! I wanted to see if anyone else has done that
I use cookie cutters to cut food into animal shapes for my g'kids. I have as much fun as them!
PS: My meatloaf recipe is featured on Cooking Mama for Wii!
I always play Cooking Mama on my Nintendo DS. It's really fun! You actually cook things from scratch (cleaning shrimp, chopping things, sauteing, smoking, measuring....etc) and new recipes pop up all the time. There is also a part where you can test your skills and get medals for doing things well. The DS has a touch screen so everthing is "hands-on"... you don't just press a button.
Thank you for participating, and congratulations to our winners:
