"This picture was taken at my Hawaiian Home, but it is equally good in Manhattan!" ~ Devany
My friend Devany Vickery-Davidson lives on two of my favorite islands – at opposite ends of the country and lifestyle continuum. Most days you’ll find her living the quiet up-country life on the Big Island of Hawai’i expressing her creative talent as an artist. She also maintains a small apartment (with a very small kitchen!) on the uber-busy island of Manhattan where for years she made a name as a food and travel writer. Whenever I need a special “fix” of Aloha I check out Devany’s web log about her life in Hilo called My Hawaiian Home. When I’m feeling a need for something a bit more urban I read My Manhattan Kitchen. True to form – she’s got all the bases covered!
For the holidays Devany created a special “Aloha” version of a sophisticated champagne cocktail – perfect for toasting in the New Year on any island, even the one in your kitchen! ~ Barry CB Martin
Champagne and Pomegranates in Hawaii
Devany writes:
“I figured out this technique while making a romantic bubble bath for two on New Year’s Eve. It only works with really good champagne and you can do it with more or less pomegranate seeds. With each sip, one or two of the edible seeds pop into your mouth and they are delightful!”
