Hawaiian Quilt Masterpieces presents 55 remarkable historic and contemporary quilts, all reproduced in full color, which trace the history of the islands: from the early influences of missionaries and traders, to annexation by the United States and subsequent statehood, to the current concerns of today's Hawaiian quilt masters. Hawaii's stunning quilts capture the essence of the islands' overwhelming natural beauty. Early quilters developed the beloved Hawaiian appliqué quilt, its lovely floral designs cut like giant snowflakes from a single piece of cloth. They also created the unique tradition of the flag quilt, made to memorialize the glorious past of the Hawaiian kingdom that fell when the United States annexed the islands in 1898. This volume offers some of the finest examples of the islands' fabric art, highlighted by works of such masterful island quiltmakers as Elizabeth Akana, Sharon Balai, and Junedale Lauwaeomakana Quinories, whose clever variations on classic designs and techniques are spiced with subtle twists of modernity. This book's insightful and informative text tells how the designs of these extraordinary creations are grounded in spirituality, the indigenous flora, and the visual expression of history. Hawaiian Quilt Masterpieces is the first new book on the subject in many years and is sure to become a standard reference in the field. If you are a lover of quilts, and if the idyllic geography and fascinating lore of the Hawaiian Islands lures you, then this is the perfect guide to the exotic and beautiful world of Hawaiian quilts. 9 x 12 in., 120 pages ISBN: 0-88363-396-5 $35.00 U.S., $47.50 Canada More info. about this book Buy This Book from . . .

Hawaiian food — Kalua

Hawaii: Islands of Surprise latimes.com | Jobs | Cars | Homes | Rentals | Newspaper Ads | Personals | Place an Ad Advertising Supplement Water Fun Relaxation Culture Cuisine Go to Hawaii to eat Spam? That’s probably not one of the top reasons most people visit the islands, but the canned processed pork is popular at restaurants catering to locals, sharing the menu with other classic Hawaiian dishes such as lau lau (fish, beef or pork wrapped in taro leaves), loco moco (steamed rice topped with a hamburger, a fried egg and brown gravy) and shredded Kalua pig. American soldiers introduced the Hawaiians to Spam during World War II. Now nearly 7 million cans are sold annually in the islands, according to the Hormel website. But if Spam doesn’t appeal to your tastebuds, it’s not a problem. There’s plenty of other grind (food) that locals find ono (delicious). One favorite is the inexpensive but generously portioned Hawaiian plate lunch. It can incorporate Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Hawaiian and American dishes — often all on one plate — and is best eaten on a day when there’s nothing planned for the afternoon except a nap on the beach. Here are some fun, funky and fabulous places for local grind. Maui The exterior of the restaurant, which has no sign. Top left: The clay pot at A Saigon Cafe A Saigon Cafe There is no sign for A Saigon Cafe, but people find it anyway, says manager Nguyan Nguyan (friends call him Chicken Wing.) Located in Wailuku Town, about 15 minutes from Kahului Airport (Maui’s main airport), A Saigon Café uses fresh, local ingredients for its Vietnamese dishes, which have attracted an enthusiastic local following. Nguyan said the Food Network’s Rachael Ray recently featured the restaurant for a Maui segment of “$40 A Day” and interviewed him. “I’m a movie star,” he said. Favorites include calamari, shrimp and clay pot (shrimp and fried rice), sauteed string beans, chicken salad, stuffed tofu, steamed fresh fish of the day (served whole) and spring rolls. A Saigon Cafe, 1792 Main St., Wailuku; (808) 243-9560 Da Kitchen’s fish tempura Da Kitchen “People will eat any kind of food, the same food two or three times a week, as long as it’s good food,” said Da Kitchen’s owner Les Tomita, explaining the restaurant’s philosophy. Five minutes from Kahului Airport, Da Kitchen is popular with tourists and locals, who drop by to enjoy traditional Hawaiian food — Kalua pork, lomi (salted salmon chopped with tomatoes and onion), lau lau, chicken long rice, poi and plate lunches with such entreés as teriyaki chicken, Korean Kobe ribs, hamburger steak cutlets and fish tempura served with rice and macaroni salad. Da Kitchen, 425 Koloa St., Kahului; (808) 871-7782 For more information about Maui restaurants and cuisine visit, www.visitmaui.com . Kauai Caffe Coco Located on the edge of a cane field, with a view of Sleeping Giant Mountain across the fields, Caffe Coco’s courtyard dining room is all lush vines, exotic foliage and tropical flowers. At night, tiki torches blaze, live jazz plays and the food is, according to owner Ginger Carlson, “unpretentious, healthful and world class. No deep frying.” Offerings include macadamia nut and black sesame crusted ahi with wasabi cream, Moroccan-spiced tofu and roast-veggie wraps, curried sweet potato samosas and silver noodle salad. Carlson also sells a line of condiments used in the restaurant. A favorite is Jungle Jazz, a guava-based grilling sauce ($4 a jar). Caffe Coco, 4-369 Kuhio Highway, Kapaa; (808) 822-7990 Tropical Taco Surfer and restaurant owner Roger Kennedy is something of a local legend on Kauai. Back in the ’70s, the California native was given a one-way ticket to Hawaii from his father as a high school graduation present. After stints working in the pineapple and cane fields, Kennedy started looking for a way to “teach surfing and not starve.” He bought a lunch wagon and parked it, loaded with surfing paraphernalia, on the edge of Hanalei and waited for the lunch crowd to show up. They arrived in droves, ravenous for his tacos, burritos and Fat Jacks (10-inch burritos). Five years ago, he opened a sit-down place (24 chairs and 17 stools) outside in Hanalei Town. All the food is made to order which, Kennedy admitted, can sometimes lead to a 25-minute wait for a taco, especially since he likes to talk to customers as he cooks. Said manager Celine Molina, “Everything is made with love. We just ask for patience.” Tropical Taco, Halele’a Building, 5-5088 Kuhio Hwy. Hanalei; (808) 827-8226 Hawaii The main dining room at Huggo’s. Huggo’s (indoor dining) and Huggo’s On The Rocks (informal) When Hugo and Shirley von Platen Luder opened Huggo’s back in 1969, it quickly became a gathering spot where local fishermen met to “talk story” (Hawaiian for shoot the breeze). Today, it’s still the place to go for fish macadamia nut-crusted mahi mahi, crab-crusted ono (the No. 1 requested dish) and Asian-seared ahi. Times change, though. Where commercial fishermen once called in on two-way radios to report their catch, they now use cellphones, says the von Platen Luders’ son, Eric, who now manages the restaurant. The yellow fin tuna caught in the morning, he said, may end up as the dinner special that night. Live entertainment is featured at the spectacular oceanfront location. Huggo’s, 75-5828 Kahakai Road, Kailua-Kona; (808) 329-1493 Ocean View Inn In business for 70 years, the family-owned Ocean View Inn, across from the Kailua Pier, is the oldest restaurant in Kona. Jeannette Kuwadu, the restaurant’s manager and granddaughter of the original owners, said that except for the prices, which have gone up a bit, the menu hasn’t changed much over the years. One can still find chopstick rice, tripe stew, poi, lau lau, Kalua pork, raw fish and Spam with eggs or cabbage. Inexpensive and popular with locals, the restaurant has a casual and friendly service. Go with an appetite — the plate lunches are large, fried and carb laden. Ocean View Inn, 75-5683 Alii Drive; (808) 329-9998 Oahu Wally Ho’s Garage & Grill Wally Ho ran a gas station and repair shop at this location for 40 years. But a few years back, the gas tanks sprang a leak so they were hauled away, a commercial kitchen was installed and Wally’s became a garage and grill. Ho is retired now, but his daughter, Willette — who manages the family-owned business — describes the fare as healthy Hawaiian with an emphasis on fresh. This means, for example, you can choose brown rice instead of white for your plate lunch, order a green salad and know that the food is prepared without a lot of fat. The fish is fresh. On Fridays and Saturdays, Wally’s serves Hawaiian food — lau lau, Kalua pig, lomi, a choice of rice or poi and, for dessert, haupia, described by one aficionado as a sinful but angelically white coconut desert. Wally Ho’s Garage & Grill, 98-380 Kamehameha Highway, Aiea; (808) 488-2220 Janice MacDonald is a freelance writer based in Vista.

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. It

Volcano Watch [ TEXT ONLY ] Volcano Watch Volcano Watch is a weekly newsletter written by the scientists at the US Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. It is published in the Hawaii Tribune-Herald's Sunday newspaper and the West Hawai'i Today's Monday newspaper, and posted here the following Monday or Tuesday. While primarily addressed to the residents of the Big Island of Hawai`i, some articles may have a broader scope. Article topics may range from volcanic features on the Big Island, volcanic hazards, informational topics of Long Valley, Montserrat, or Alaska, to topics about the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Latest Issue: January 19, 2006: Revolution in thinking about Kilauea's explosions comes to HVO: Part 1 Previous Issue: January 12, 2005: 2005: Another relatively quiet year for Hawaiian earthquakes Kilauea Eruption Status From Volcano Watch, January 19, 2006: During the past week, the number of earthquakes located beneath Kilauea remains at levels typical of the current eruption. Inflation of the summit continues. Eruptive activity at Pu`u `O`o also continues. On clear nights, glow is visible from several vents within the crater and on the southwest side of the cone. Lava is still flowing through the PKK lava tube from its source on the flank of Pu`u `O`o to the ocean, with scattered surface flows breaking out of the tube. Surface flows on the pali are visible at night (weather permitting) from the end of Chain of Craters Road. As of January 19, lava is entering the ocean at East Lae`apuki, in Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park. The active lava bench continues to regrow following the major collapse of November 28. Access to the ocean entry and the surrounding area remains closed, due to significant hazards. If you visit the eruption site, check with the rangers for current updates, and remember to carry lots of water when venturing out onto the flow field. There were two earthquakes beneath Hawai`i Island reported felt within the past week. A magnitude-3.6 earthquake occurred at 11:04 p.m. on Saturday, January 14, and was located 7 km (5 miles) southeast of Hualalai summit at a depth of 28 km (17 miles). A magnitude-4.7 earthquake occurred at 4:05 p.m. on Wednesday, January 18, and was located 16 km (10 miles) offshore and east of Na`alehu at a depth of 40 km (25 miles). Mauna Loa is not erupting. During the past week, the count of earthquakes located beneath the volcano remains at low levels. Inflation continues, but at a slower rate since early October 2005.
