kokua auction reminder

now that the thanksgiving holiday is behind us, i just wanted to post a little reminder that the second kokua auction ends tonight. hopefully, the reason there are no bids yet is that everyone was busy with holiday preparations last week. remember this is a fabulous way to scoop up a sweet mix of stocking stuffers and spread a little charity love this holiday season!

thanks for reading!

chocolate lab

easy chocolate truffles + champagne truffles

this time of year has a way of bringing out one's inner martha determined to do whatever it takes to whip up a handmade sugarplum wonderland. if holiday plans call for testing your truffle making skills, do click over to the big island's cocoa outlet which is the source for professional confectioners and just happens to have an online shop open to the public.

you'll find everything you need from fine european chocolates (callebaut & valrhona, natch) to cake decorations and cool contraptions like textured rolling pins that embellish fondants with pretty patterns. and, if you really want to up your pastry game, the cocoa outlet offers the occasional class to expand every dreamy cake designer's repertoire of sweet techniques.

bon appétit!

free rice

since rice is such a staple in island homes, here's a little diversion that has been making the rounds online. test your wordsmith skills at free rice and, for every word you get correct, 10 grains of rice will be donated to the united nations world food program (3 billion grains of rice have been donated since the game kicked off last month).

happy thanksgiving!
