When we recently travel toHawaii , we came home flop around Lisa ’s mum ’s 84th birthday . While the Hawaiian shop offer every form of typical tourist bling , we descend home with nothing in our suitcase for dear grandma . Now , before you write us off as those rude relatives ( Grandma even drove us to the airport ) , we did come back with something exceptional that is now our family ’s version of the tourist attractor , t - shirt or coffee visage : local recipes .
As we wandered Hawaii — and whenever we go — we made it a breaker point to taste the taste and flavors of the local scene . Fromfarmers ’ marketstofamily - owned restaurants , there ’s nothing like savour something you ’ve never had before surrounded by an alien locale . We bring in that by making our favorite recipe from our latest holiday destination we ca n’t recreate break into a fresh Hawaiian pineapple plant with crashing ocean wave in the desktop , but thanks to the web we can arrive nigh . As restaurants offer recipe online and tourer , like ourselves , put up their versions of travel recipes , the Internet is a barren cookery book of the intellectual nourishment we loved on the route .
1 . hoard recipe . We observe a tilt of our favorite foods we eat and started look up recipes online when we return home . Some items we decimate because we knew we would n’t regain the same ingredient back home . Those refreshing pineapples would need to remain a memory , but we were cheerily surprised at the fabulous carte du jour we could renovate , with many recipes coming mightily from the source .
Here ’s a sampling of our luau carte du jour :
2 . portion out the story . Our 10 - year - previous son , Liam , is the computer tech guy wire in our family , and he createda slideshow of our trip exposure , complete with Hawaiian medicine in the background . Liam manually clicked through the slide , narrate the adventures from surf example to sample plane chicken feed , one of the foods that unluckily ca n’t be recreate back home .
3 . repetition . Once we receive our travel computer menu and slideshow organized for Grandma ’s birthday , we can easily repeat it for other relative and friends as we cover course , creating a peculiar even over unique dish , much better than C. P. Snow globes or even those hula - girl bobbleheads for the car dashboard . We ’re now go to always travel under that “ less stuff and more flavorful stories ” mantra .
Savoring the sound life ,
