New England's whalers and missionaries were among the first foreigners to influence Hawaii.
There has always been a special relationship between Hawaii and New England that is way beyond the scope of this brief post.
Well Miss Hawaii USA, Aureana Tseu is dancing Hula and sharing lei
in grocery stores throughout the region
to introduce Diamond Bakery's
Saloon Pilot Crackers
to 165 Hannaford supermarkets.
Get out and see her, won't you?

The dry crackers
(based, they say, on recipes that sailors relied on back in the days of sail)
will be a perfect complement to
traditional New England Chowders!

Hmmm, I wonder if they'll catch on in the Great Lakes...?
Aloha, Cloudia.
I believe the correct spelling in New England is chowdah. ;0)
Love the Hafiz quote. Beautiful, beautiful photos. Aloha friend.
I love the Hafiz quote, too. Are those like pilot crackers? If so you'd better have some kind of soup to soak them in or you'll break your teeth!! Thanks for the tidbit of Hawaiian history.
then try to whistle!

What a strange connection.
Hey, your clouds do look like cherubim.
That Chinese sign is kind of scary.
I'll have to check this out!
Who knew? My father was a sailor and he loved those little crackers. (I'm smiling now)
It is so cold in My Muskoka , Cloudia. I would love to visit warmer climes... I feel better looking at your photos!
Well, isn't that something! The connection between New England and Hawaii that is, do you know what the basis was?
Always learning here, what a fascinating connection and those photos are heavenly.
Aloha Cloudia -- I haven't had any trouble checking out your blog...it's always been there...I have no clue what a "dashboard" is except the one in my car. DrumMajor

# 3 stalks celery, chopped
# 1 can (8oz) tomato sauce
# 2 can (15 oz size) red kidney beans, including liquid
Instructions:
Put sausage, ham hock, and onion into a large sauce pot, add water. Cover and cook on low heat for 1 hour. Remove meat from ham hock. Put meat back into soup and add carrots, potatoes, cabbage,celery, and tomato sauce. Cover and continue cooking for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Stir in beans, including liquid, and cook a few more minutes, adding more water if necessary. Serves 12
Add a few nuts (up to 12) and crackers and enjoy.
