09 May 2009 This recipe doesn't really relate to H!P. But it's delicious! So I'll give it an H!P-ish name. Potatoz Koubou by Kirarin☆Snow ☃ Mashed potatoes with zest. Or an extra 'z' at least.

Remove from heat. Add soymilk, flakes, asparagus, mushrooms, and cinnamon. Stir to desired level of homogeneity. Garnish with parsley and pepper. Serves 1-2. {Tags: , , } {More...}

Chocolate Chip Cookies and Brownies are <3

They made fruit sculptures, decorated a cake, and then took a stab at (or at least took a large knife to) a traditional Hawaiian dish: ahi poke. Have a look! Here's a recipe that's pretty similar to the one the girl's followed if you're interesting in making it yourself. 4 cups ahi (yellowfin tuna, sashimi grade) diced into bite-sized pieces 1/2 cup onion, sliced 1/4 cup green onion, minced 1 cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1/2 cup shredded seaweed Salt (and pepper?) to ... {Tags: , , , } {More...}
