Culinary Adventures with Camilla

I am hosting June's  Food'N'Flix   and asked the bloggers to take a virtual trip to Hawaii. You can read my invitation:  here . So we've been watching lots and lots of shows that feature Hawaii. I wasn't a huge fan of the original  Hawaii Five-O , but I adore the reboot! We streamed it on Netflix the first time we watched it, but just found that it is no longer there, so I ordered the DVDs from Amazon. When we watched the first season, it inspired my  Haupia-Filled Malasadas . Season two sent me into the kitchen to serve up my Loco Moco .

I am hosting this month's Food'N'Flix   and asked the bloggers to take a virtual trip to Hawaii. You can read my invitation: here . That means we've been watching lots and lots of shows that feature Hawaii. I wasn't a huge fan of the original  Hawaii Five-O , but I adore the reboot! We streamed it on Netflix the first time we watched it, but just found that it is no longer there, so I ordered the DVDs from Amazon and we just started with the first disc this week.  I really love how the writers of the new  Hawaii Five-O*  tend to drop in references to island-specific treats.
