Over the weekend, the littlest and I had fun with Bubble Art! I actually tried Bubble Art five years ago at a media event, where we used this technique to customize our own plates!

I used the mochi brownie as a base for a sundae - and the kids loved it!

I've heard so much about the Salt & Vinegar Wings at Foodland, and I finally gave them a try!
I used their Foodland to You service to pick up some groceries, as well as the Salt & Vinegar Wings and a couple of other deli items.

I thought they were good - they were very tasty, but I still like the Fried Chicken so much more.
I've been a fan of their Fried Chicken for a while now, and I especially love the Korean Chicken!

Keiki in the Kitchen® returns to Hawai‘i Food & Wine Festival (HFWF) with virtual food and fun for Halloween 2020.
On Saturday, October 31, 2020, HMAA Presents Keiki in the Kitchen® hosts Dress Up & Decorate with #HFWF on Zoom at 3:00 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to wear their Halloween costume and follow along with celebrity chefs and bakers to decorate Halloween-themed cupcakes.Hawaiian Airlines is making it easy for travelers to finally take a long-awaited Hawai‘i vacation with convenient drive-through COVID-19 tests in select U.S. mainland gateways that will allow guests to bypass the state of Hawai‘i quarantine and begin enjoying the islands from the moment they arrive.
Hawaiian’s partnership with Worksite Labs will give guests exclusive access to drive-through PCR testing ($90 for results within 36 hours, or $150 for day-of-travel express service) from dedicated, conveniently located labs. Hawai‘i’s hometown carrier expects to start offering the Droplet Digital PCR shallow nasal swab tests – a “gold standard” COVID-19 screening that meets state of Hawai‘i guidelines – around Oct. 15, when travelers who test negative within 72 hours of departure will be exempt from Hawai‘i’s 14-day quarantine upon arrival.
Hawaiian’s initial labs will be operational near Los Angeles (LAX) and San Francisco (SFO) international airports, with more testing locations coming soon at its other U.S. mainland gateways.
“As Hawai’i’s leading airline, it is critical to ensure that access to testing does not impede travel to Hawai‘i, for visitors or our kama‘āina (residents),” said Avi Mannis, senior vice president of marketing at Hawaiian Airlines. “Our testing option will offer Los Angeles and Bay Area travelers superior value and we look forward to expanding the program and bringing additional choices to more of our gateway cities as we welcome guests back with our industry-leading Hawaiian hospitality, while keeping our community safe. We’re grateful to the state of Hawai‘i for its partnership in developing the pre-travel testing program.”
“Worksite Labs is proud to offer Hawaiian this innovative solution as we work to combat the current pandemic and provide more testing options so travelers can understand their COVID-19 status and enjoy their trip to Hawai‘i while stimulating the local economy,” said Gary Frazier, CEO of Worksite Labs.
Hawaiian Airlines is actively developing additional testing partnerships to support travelers’ needs, with more to be announced soon. The state of Hawai‘i also continues to expand its list of partners for testing.
In addition to offering its guests convenient testing, Hawaiian has implemented a comprehensive health and safety programcovering all aspects of their journey.
Starting at check-in, guests must complete a health acknowledgment form indicating they are free of COVID-19 symptoms and will wear an adequate face mask or covering at the airport and during the flight. Guests 2 years of age and older who are unable to wear a face mask or covering due to a medical condition or disability must undergo a health screening to board.
Hawaiian’s “Keeping you Safe” enhanced cleaning includes frequent disinfecting of lobby areas, kiosks, and ticket counters, electrostatic aircraft cabin spraying, plexiglass barriers at staffed airport counters, and sanitizer wipe distribution to all guests. The carrier, which has been operating a reduced schedule since March due to the pandemic and resulting travel restrictions, will continue to leave 70 percent cabin capacity through October to allow for onboard distancing.
All travelers arriving in Hawai‘i or flying between the islands must now also complete the state’s online Safe Travels Hawai‘i form.
I love the Senia Cookie. Whenever I'd go to Senia and enjoy the Prix Fixe lunch, I'd make sure to choose the Senia Cookie for dessert.
Imagine how thrilled I was when Nadia dropped off a Senia Bake-at-Home Cookie Kit!
It was amazing. The cookie kit is definitely a great alternative for this crazy time, when we can't go to the Senia to enjoy it after a meal.
Thank you, Nadia!
My kids have been enjoying smoothies in the afternoon (their "After-Distance-Learning-Snack"), and the latest smoothie was a Chocolate Smoothie Bowl, using Malama Mushrooms' Lion's Mane Cacao Mix.
I simply took 1/2 c plain Greek yogurt, 1 banana, 1/2 c crushed ice, and 1 teaspoon Malama Mushrooms' Lion's Mane Cacao Mix, and blended until smooth. I poured the smoothie into a bowl, topped with strawberries, bananas, granola, and toasted shredded coconut, and drizzled with peanut butter.
