My husband and I came home from our honeymoon exactly three months ago, and today I am reminiscing about beautiful breathtaking Hawaii. One of the consumable goods I brought home with me was lavender liliko'i jelly from the lavender gardens of AKL (Ali`i Kula Lavender), located in upcountry Maui.
Liliko'i is the Hawaiian word for passion fruit (and, by the way, passion fruit is one of my favourite bubble tea flavours). The jelly was deliciously sweet and tangy. And it always reminded me of the beautiful day I spent with my husband walking through lavender gardens, eating lavender scones, and sipping lavender tea & coffee.I've completely finished off the jelly, but I still have AKL lavender tea to enjoy. I also bought a jar of guava jelly from a general store in Hawaii, and I'm looking forward to it. Sigh, I miss vacationing in Hawaii!
I love delicacies from other countries that you just don't get here. My friends from Ireland keep sending me chocolate that is WAY better than Canadian chocolate. Mmm, now I'm craving some!
ReplyDeleteI know it's nice to daydream about vacationing and the places you have been/can go, and I'm sure you'll get the chance to do it again :). Unfortunately, we all live a life of reality, where we must fund all of our adventures somehow!!
Hope things are well with you!
