FMPR Scholarship

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

In the next few months, teenagers from all over Kaua’i will be receiving acceptance letters from colleges and their parents will begin preparing to have empty nests.  It will be an exciting time for many, and for some, a time of apprehension.  Students will wonder what the new school year at college brings for them in terms of academic challenges and social situations.  Parents will wonder how they will pay tuitions, especially in this challenging economy.  But still, those who have the opportunity to pursue higher education will find a way.  Fujita & Miura Public Relations would like to join those families investing in education by awarding one $1,000 scholarship to a Kaua’i student pursuing their bachelor’s degree or a graduate degree.

And, there is no need to prepare an entrée and vegetable course when serving this dish as it combines the both!  Here’s how to whip it up (adjust the portions to fit your needs). (more…)

Squash Soup

long-squash1In Hawaii, many backyard gardens grow the long squash that is green and can grow up to several feet in length.  Long squash is especially plentiful in the summer months.  Despite the heat of the season, my husband and 2-year-old son love to eat squash soup so much that they can devour it week after week.  I’ve even resorted to doubling my original recipe to keep up with them!  The best part about Squash Soup, above the rave reviews and nutritional value, is that it’s super easy to make and a perfect one-pot meal.  So, I thought that some of you may be interested in the recipe and making it for your families.  Here it is: (more…)

Persian Black Tea Ice Cream

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

shahrzad-tea1I’ve been making ice cream for several years now and it took awhile to get the basics down from the equipment to the technique and the ingredients.  Now that I’ve mastered chocolate, vanilla, and a few other popular flavors, I’ve been delving into some new ones.  One of them is unexpected and yet appears to be nearly addictive so I thought I’d share it with you.  It’s Persian Black Tea Ice Cream.
