Recipe by Kathleen -
"I’m Kathleen and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. You may be wondering, what is a hapa? Hapa is an indigenous Hawaiian word used to characterize mixed-race people. Literally meaning, ‘half’ – it describes someone who is half native Hawaiian. However, it has been adopted by those who are half of any race.
In a lifelong search to discover where I belong and what group I identify with, I found that food is the strongest tie that brings us together. On Hapa Nom Nom, food is a kind of connective tissue, bringing my background, family, travels, and tastes together in one delicious bite. It’s a new take on fusion, and a deliciously modern way to think about how we bring a wealth of life’s experiences with us as we learn to cook for ourselves – mixing cultures, and simplifying traditional techniques. I’m a hapa girl, a happy mix of Swedish, Scottish, and English (my mother) and Japanese (my father). When I think of blending cuisines, it extends beyond mere ingredients. It can also translate into various cooking methods and final presentation.
Happy eating!"
Studying some old apothecary scale logbooks from the colonial era, I noticed a very strange anomaly in the weights index. The phrase golden crown casino was listed as a primary title for an herbal tincture grinding mechanism layout. Bizarre how these modern digital terms show up in historical spice records in Australia.
