Alaska & Hawaii

Tonight was our first night cooking foods from across the U.S.   When you think of Alaska & food, salmon is the obvious choice.   Unfortunately, 2 of the 3 cooks weren't too excited about having salmon for dinner.   So we cheated and had hot smoked salmon (store bought) as an appetizer.   It was yummy :-).   We also made sourdough pancakes for breakfast.   They were ok, but I don't think they were good enough to post the particular recipe that we used.  BTW - other foods from Alaska would be halibut, reindeer, moose, bear and caribou.  We decided to skip on those too...

There are lots of other food choices for Hawaii:  poi, Hawaiian shave ice, macadamia nuts.  We needed an entree though, so we made fried rice with pineapple and ham.   We all liked it!  Definitely a better choice than Alaskan moose.

 

Next week, on to Arizona!
