True Aloha
I love sharing stories about Hawaii with my readers. Many of you have come to count on the occasional slices of local life, photos and recipes that I dig up. Hey, I’m in Hawaii! What’s not to love? There are limitations on the way that share the aloha, though. I blog about events and people in my own backyard. I’m not too heavy into research, so I don’t have anything to say about the outer islands or festivals I haven’t been to or trails I haven’t hiked. That’s because skeet’s stuff isn’t about Hawaii. It’s all about me. If it doesn’t cross my path and I don’t happen upon it, you won’t find it here. Those of you who want a broader picture of my beautiful paradise just won’t find it amidst my clutter. You need to go to a Hawaii-centric blog for that. I recommend True Aloha for your steady diet of Hawaiiana. Anele is all about Hawaii, and she’s a lot more willing than I am to work at bringing together the big picture for you.
I talk about our ono grinds (delicious foods.) Anele wants you to know how to make them for yourself, so she features local foods every week in her Aloha Friday Recipe feature. Do you know what the local favorite dessert dish is? I’ve never thought to tell you, but Anele featured it recently. It’s called Haupia and it’s a coconut pudding that’s to die for! Check out Anele’s Haupia With Pineapple recipe. It’s quick and easy to make and oh, so ono! Follow her directions and you can serve it the next time you want to throw an authentic Hawaiian luau. Bento fans? Check out the cutest little Spam Musubi in the world in Anele’s Bento Musings!
I’ve been here for fourteen years and there are so many things I’ve never checked out yet. I haven’t gone hiking in years, despite some of the most beautiful hiking trails in the world being available to me. Many folks carry a GPS with them when they hike now, and that means lots of geocaching opportunites in Hawaii and anywhere else you care to hike. Anele keeps you up to date on Geochaching in Hawaii, so make sure you check her out before you plan your Hawaii vacation agenda. For the less athletic among you, she’ll point all of you armchair travelers to the best Hawaii programming on TV, with an up-to-date widget so you’ll never miss a thing. Whatever you want to know about Hawaii, it’s probably already on Anele’s blog. If it’s not, ask her! She’s the expert on travel and vacation planning and has done a great job of covering music, local events and pretty much everything else Hawaiian. Bookmark True Aloha, or, better yet, add it to your feeds. If you want to know all about me, you already know where to come. Now you know where to find True Aloha, too!
