How to use this Page

Sometimes I think other bloggers must be peeking in my brain to see what I need and then poof, there it is! Did you know I needed books about fruits and veggies with vivid color and great vocab??? Thanks for telling us all, this will be in my bag soon (not soon enough)!

With her goal of improving kids' eating habits (and as Jon Stewart said, an easier goal might be colonizing the planet Mars), Michelle Obama would enjoy your post!

Ah, sounds very similar to Maori powhiri chanting traditions. Not surprising since the cultures definitely share a lot.

I love the sound of Hawaiian and this sounds like it was a magical moment!

There’s a word in French to fit the way this post made me feel: depayser. To get a total change of scene. That is what this post did for me today, so thank you. I cannot travel and needed this.

Love the packets of vegetables. Could you perhaps post the recipe?

Oh, beautiful – and I’m with Alexandra. Transported. I only wish I could hear for myself!

Alexandra, the recipe is simple – it’s the oven that’s hard work! We simply placed raw vegetables like onions, Hawaiian sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and carrots in each packet of ti leaves and wrapped them up.
