I am geuninely not at ease until I can get to Farmer's Market and collect a hearty bunch of these squatty little dudes. They may not be much to look at, but pop them into the freezer, and they take on a perfect ice cream texture (hence the name). Their naturally sweet vanilla flavor also means that these bad boys taste like a ice cream - not just a frozen banana. Enjoy them straight out of the freezer like an ice cream bar (dip them in chocolate if you want to get extra fancy!) or blend them up into a frothy soft serve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1480899679180-O1GQTBX2TQ132C8HPZA2/IMG_6108+2.jpg Blog - Kauai: Where (and What) to Eat - Shrimp Station The Shrimp Station in Waimea is the best place to go for coconut shrimp indulgence. Made fresh to order in an unassuming roadside stand, they strike the perfect balance of coconut-y batter and fresh from the-sea shrimp. Sure, they might sit a little heavy if you eat all 12 by yourself, but it's nothing a hike through Waimea Canyon can't fix! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1480899621476-PRIYZGOA9CYEF3OR63T7/IMG_6095+2.jpg Blog - Kauai: Where (and What) to Eat - Kauai Juice Co. If you need to atone for some over indulgence, or just need a tasty shot of vitamins and nutrients, head to Kauai Juice Co. Yes, nut milks and cold-pressed juices are all of the rage these days, but this is is a company committed to values and flavor. Sourcing their ingredients almost exclusively from the islands (80% is from the Hawaiian islands, the remaining 20% is sourced from organic, mainland farms), Kauai Juice Co. is making hearty nut milks like the chai-inspired Golden Milk or bright Rainbown Unicorn juice. They even have kombucha on tap and shots of kefir - it's basically a health nut's dream, but without sacrificing flavor. So no matter how many Puka Dogs or Pina Coladas you've downed, Kauai Juice Co will leave you feeling renewed and refueled. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1480899714706-EVQJXJC9I9IMRXPMVJKR/IMG_6123+2.jpg Blog - Kauai: Where (and What) to Eat - Tiki Tacos Tiki Tacos in Kapaa was a new discovery this year, and definitely the best. Like any fish taco joint worth its salt, the folks at Tiki Tacos use only daily-caught fresh fish. What sets them apart from the pack is the thick, warm, housemade tortillas that serve as a vessel for hearty, overflowing portions of fish, cabbage, and queso fresco. If fish isn't your thing, they also have delicious chicken, steak, and veggie alternatives. Don't let the 40 minute drive from Poipu or the unassuming strip mall ambiance deter you - these guys are worth it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1480901054127-UV75GMEZLFCGLSG02Q1Z/original-201306-HD-best-hot-dogs-puka-dog.jpg Blog - Kauai: Where (and What) to Eat - Puka Dog Confession - the photo credit goes to Food and Wine here. It's not that I didn't take any photos, it's that I struggled to capture the Puka Dog - a hot dog slipped into a sleeve-like bun and topped with tropical sauces like lilikoi mustard and mango relish - without the end result looking...off. But these are a true Poipu gem, and I couldn't bear to keep them off of the list just because of my poor photography skills. Go for a veggie or polish dog, and mix and match the sauces to your tropical heart's content. http://www.mytartufo.com/blog/2016/11/21/ujcwzvehf7pfj1xppnf805x5wyqqz4 monthly 0.5 2016-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1479745985928-N7MUODKQFTSEAYLXOHMS/Beer+bottle+1.2.jpg Blog - Hoppy Thanksgiving: A Turkey Day Guide to Beer Pairing - Hors d'oeuvres If you dare to serve appetizers before the most celebrated meal of the year, pair your pre-dinner bites with a British-style bitter beer. Complementary to a wide range of foods, the low carbonation and alcohol content makes these brews a great way to welcome guests without the risk of getting too full (and too drunk) before the main event.   Recommendation: London's Calling by Freewheel Brewing Company   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1479745985502-KNHE6CAEARTJNX5KY5Y5/Beer+bottle+2.2.jpg Blog - Hoppy Thanksgiving: A Turkey Day Guide to Beer Pairing - Early Dinner Miller High Life may be the "champagne of beers", but the bubbles of a Saison will kick off your dinner with style and class. Effervescent and bright with notes of citrus, these pale ales are the perfect way to toast family and friends.   Recommendation: Sofie by Goose Island. If you’re in the Bay Area try Devil's Canyon Brewing Company Belle Bière Brut - not technically a Saison, but it has all the trappings needed for a good toast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1479745986934-T1NTKBNJZ8020UK1DGS6/Beer+bottle+3.2.jpg Blog - Hoppy Thanksgiving: A Turkey Day Guide to Beer Pairing - Throughout Dinner An all-American meal deserves an all-American Brown Ale. This darker ale will stand up to the evening’s rich and hearty spread without overpowering and drowning out the tastebuds.   Recommendation: Brekle’s Brown by Anchor Brewing   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1479745987130-5X8WT6FTENNXJ76OYJB2/Beer+bottle+4.2.jpg Blog - Hoppy Thanksgiving: A Turkey Day Guide to Beer Pairing - Dessert Dessert and beer? Why, yes of course! This is where the Scotch ales shine. Hearty, robust and with notes of scotch and caramel, these darker beers pair perfectly with the sweet and creamy likes of pumpkin and pecan pies.   Recommendation: Full Boar Scotch Ale by Devil’s Canyon Brewing Company https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1479745987902-M6KRGOJV09QC7CODDWYC/Beer+bottle+5.2.jpg Blog - Hoppy Thanksgiving: A Turkey Day Guide to Beer Pairing - The Grande Finale Room for one more?

Using the opportunity to avoid aforementioned missteps, and review your entire cart's contents with him.

Made on an open griddle, this layered wonder has a base of grilled soba or udon noodles. After being topped with a host of ingredients (think green onions, fried garlic, bacon), it is crowned with a savory pancake and thick, sweet BBQ-esque sauce. It's a monster of a meal, but so worth the pain and suffering. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1477367212034-K080WH5ZG7DUBMXG6ARI/IMG_6081.jpg Blog - Adventures in Japan - Ramen and The Art of Slurping When it comes to ramen, it's all about the broth.

Buckwheat noodles served cold with a dipping sauce or hot with broth, there is nothing more satisfying on a hot (or cold) day.

A partially refined to un-refined, high-molasses sugar Origins: Mauritius & the Philippines Name Game: Muscovado originates from the Spanish mascabado and Portuguese mascovado, both which mean “low quality”. In the 18th and 19th centuries, muscovado was considered a lower quality of sugar because it is less refined and not drained of its molasses content. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1472618194707-VTBHVBZV2N1FTDKA1YBF/Sugar-001.jpg Blog - The Wonderful World of Sugar - Dark Muscovado Texture: Thick, moist, and coarse - like wet sand Flavor: Slightly bittersweet, with notes of pear and apple, dark muscovado is rich and complex. Think of it as the pinnacle of brown sugar. Use it in: Gingerbread, fruitcakes, coffee - dark muscovado is going to take your fall and winter baking to new heights.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1472618225693-J8MF60O2F1SCE27Z3LMN/Sugar-005.jpg Blog - The Wonderful World of Sugar - Light Muscovado Texture: Lighter and softer in texture than the dark, light muscovado still packs a flavorful punch. It has the same, if not more more, molasses than standard North American dark brown sugar. Flavor: Sweet, with notes of toffee and honey Use it in: Desserts with banana, toffee, and butterscotch.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1472618266173-VQLK5HISA0X4TOGGQ6QW/Sugar-012.jpg Blog - The Wonderful World of Sugar - Coconut Sugar What is it? Sugar produced from the sap of coconut palm flower buds. Origins: South and Southeast Asia Name Game: Coconut sugar and palm sugar are often, and erroneously, used interchangeably. Coconut sugar comes from coconut palms, palm sugar comes from a variety of other palms, including Palmyra, date and salgo. Texture: Thick, rough grains Flavor: Mildly sweet with a hint of caramel. Use it in: Popular in Paleo recipes (some claim that it has a higher mineral content and lower glycemic index than cane sugar), coconut sugar can be used in place of regular brown sugar, adding a nuanced, caramelly flavor. Chocolate chip cookies are a great place to start. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1472618248060-HTV7H3K225NXZGHX63KL/Sugar-009.jpg Blog - The Wonderful World of Sugar - Wasanbon What is it? An artisanal sugar used in Japanese confectionary. It is used to make Higashi, a popular candy that is molded into seasonal shapes, like the flowers and crystals in the photo above. Origins: Shikoku, Japan Name Game: Wa indicates domestic Japanese manufacturing; sanbon “three bowls”, refers to the production process in which cane sugar is boiled, kneaded, and drained in bowls. Texture: Very fine and powdery. Flavor: Sweet, with mild honey notes. Use it in: Coffee, tea and cakes. It can also be used in place of powdered sugar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1472618281490-1TO1RM6OFMUKV0X75YUJ/Sugar-014.jpg Blog - The Wonderful World of Sugar - Maple Sugar What is it? Sugar derived from the boiled sap of maple trees Origins: Northeastern United States and Canada Name Game: Specifics on the discovery of maple sugar are hazy, but the general consensus is that the maple tree’s sweet sap was first discovered by the First Nation (Canada) and Native Americans (US), and it was called ziinzibaakwad Texture: Soft and fine with a high moisture content. Flavor: Very sweet with notes of vanilla and toffee. Agriculture Canada created a flavor wheel for maple sugar/syrup tasting - not unlike the ones popular in wine tasting. (Click on maple sugar photo). Use it in: Use it in place of brown sugar, but at a ratio of ¾ to 1, to accommodate for the addition moisture in maple sugar.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1472618338337-FP656CC2D150PL1TB332/Sugar-007.jpg Blog - The Wonderful World of Sugar - Piloncillo What is it? Pure, raw, and unprocessed sugar cane. It is made by boiling and evaporating sugarcane juice - this is a molasses-free sugar. Origins: Latin and Central America Name: Traditionally poured into a conical mold, the name piloncillo means “little pylon”. Texture: When in its traditional cone shape, the sugar is packed solid and must be cut or grated. When grated, it has crunchy, non-uniform texture. Flavor: Earthy, smoky, with notes of fig. Use it in: On the sweet side, piloncillo gives cookies, cobblers and caramels an extra earthy kick. Try it your coffee to shake up the morning time routine. According to Serious Eats, it’s also great used on meats, beans and dried chiles. http://www.mytartufo.com/blog/2016/8/29/rlq7oeur4p7ckvb6k1cajrazbb54fd monthly 0.5 2017-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/543f24d0e4b01fa79711fcfb/1472532158908-VG95BN1XWUQEUW0NP5CS/image-asset.jpeg Blog -
