(actually, we didn't, but many photos still to come!)
The NBF, in case it's never come up, graduated high school in Hawaii. A military brat, go figure. His background gives him a particular affinity for such things as Twiglets (oh wait - Jeph, is that right?) (Allison, you like them too?), kim chi, and these treats:
Is this what we call taking one (or two) for the team? Prizes to anyone who can identify these - other than Jeph, that is!

You never had the first one? You were the one urging me to try it before the Maui trip in 2006!
Blame me all you will - I know that Brett loves me thanks to ice cream!
As for the second pic, very yum! And in case I didn't mention it, we got beans in it.
I do like Twiglets. Strange taste, but strangely appealing.
Is one of those concoctions a doughnut?
A doughnut? Nope. Think savoury!
I think the latter, colourful pic is one of ice and beans and other goodness (it's a dessert called halo halo - Filipino friend of mine introduced me to it). Am I right?
Ooooh, great guess Brenda. And kind of similar. I've never heard of halo halo despite all my Filipino family, in fact. But no, the treat there is called shave ice. No milk involved, but a bunch of syrups. This one had mango, pineapple, and li hing mui (dried salted plum) syrups and had sweetened adzuki beans inside.
Yum!
Now then, the other? Any guesses?
Yeah, that's it! A different name but very similar...ice, fruits, beans, and syrup...mmmm. No clue what the other one is. Looks like rice and seaweed (kinda like a big piece of sushi!).
Again, really close Brenda. Jeph, if you're reading this, care to tell her?
Jeph, you lie slightly my friend. The musubi has come up in e-mail between us in the past, but I was wrong, I admit, to think that you had suggested it to me based on past experience.
