9 Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. active dry yeast
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup half & half
  • ¼ tsp. kosher salt
  • 4 cups bread flour (1 lb. 2 oz.), sifted
  • Canola oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Combine yeast, 1 tsp. sugar, and 2 tbsp. water heated to 115° in a bowl; let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes; set aside. Beat eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until fluffy. Add yeast mixture, 1⁄2 cup sugar, butter, milk, half & half, and salt; mix until combined. With the motor running, slowly add flour; beat until dough is smooth. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap; set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1⁄2 hours.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12″ square about 1⁄2″ thick. Using a knife, cut dough into 3″ squares; gather and reuse scraps. Place on greased parchment paper-lined baking sheets, at least 3″ apart; cover loosely with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  3. Place remaining sugar in a large bowl; set aside. Heat 2″ oil in a 6-qt. saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°. Using scissors, cut the donuts out of the parchment paper, leaving about 1″ of paper around the sides of each donut (the paper makes it easier to transfer them to frying oil). Working in batches, place donuts in oil, paper side up, using tongs to peel off and discard paper. Cook, flipping once until puffed and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet with a wire rack; let cool completely, then toss with sugar.

La’au Lapa’au | Vanilla Is Anything But Vanilla

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Vanilla companies seem to be lacking in their plant ID skills. You so rarely see any vanilla products with the correct flower on the label. While I can’t speak for everyone, I think I may have a hunch as to why most companies slap a white Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, or any of the other orchid flowers that could remotely pass for being Vanilla on their products. At the same time, it also explains the rather pricey nature of Vanilla “beans.”  […]

La’au Lapa’au | A Miracle Herb for Face, Skin and Hair; Aloe Vera

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Aloe Vera Gel and Aloe Vera Juice are extracted from the leaves of the Aloe Vera plant, a botanical that the ancient Egyptians often referred to as “The Plant of Immortality” or “The Plant of Eternity.” It was believed that the “blood” of the Aloe Vera plant would not only address symptoms of fevers, soothe burns and wounds, and enhance daily cosmetic applications, but that it would also magnify beauty and promote imperishability. Known for having anti-bacterial properties, the contents of the Aloe Vera plant were used in embalming rituals, as it was believed that the deceased could achieve everlasting life, both physically and spiritually, if their bodies could be prevented from decomposing.  […]

I CHOOSE TO SPEAK POSSIBILITIES OVER MY LIFE!

Right now, stop yourself. Stop and think about how you’re using your mental and emotional energy. Where is your precious life force going? The past is gone. There future hasn’t arrived. What is there to be scared of? You can reimagine and recreate yourself. You can let go and forgive yourself. Do it right now.

See the best case scenario in your situation. What does that feel like? What if it does all work out? Think about that. Imagine that. Entertain that. Start using your mental force to see something different. Be optimistic about it.

I know it’s easy to entertain habitual thoughts. Some negative habitual thoughts seem real because you have entertained it way too long. When you start to think positive you might find yourself not being certain if it’s real or if it is even working. One thing you need to understand is that repetitive thoughts always become strong, and you even beginning to feel like a new person. This is what you can do. Think new thoughts. Feel new emotions. Being yourself out of the negative pessimistic attitude and own your inner power to change your mindset. It all starts with switching what you think to the opposite more powerful thought. Doing this more often you will notice a strong momentum towards being optimistic, hopeful, and strong at being positive. Be patient always. Start now. The best will begin to happen for you because you expect it and you believe it. You deeply will begin to know that all is possible for you! Focus on the best case scenario and the what if it does work out.

Presented by Dr Devra Davis, Visiting Professor of Medicine at the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School, and Visiting Professor of Medicine at Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey.

The Lecture:  What are the health effects of mobile phones and wireless radiation? While Australia has led the world in safety standards, including compulsory seat-belt legislation, plain packaging on cigarettes, and product and food disclosure legislation, it falls behind in addressing the significant issues associated with mobile phone use. In this Dean’s Lecture, epidemiologist and electromagnetic radiation expert, Dr Devra Davis, will outline the evolution of the mobile phone and smartphone, and provide a background to the current 19 year old radiation safety standards (SAR), policy developments and international legislation. New global studies on the health consequences of mobile/wireless radiation will be presented, including children’s exposure and risks.

The Speaker:  Dr Devra Davis is an internationally recognised expert on electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones and other wireless transmitting devices. She is currently the Visiting Professor of Medicine at the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical School, and Visiting Professor of Medicine at Ondokuz Mayis University, Turkey. Dr Davis was Founding Director of the Center for Environmental Oncology at The University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute —­ the first institute of its kind in the world, to examine the environmental factors that contribute to the majority of cases of cancer.

In 2007, Dr Devra Davis founded non­profit Environmental Health Trust to provide basic research and education about environmental health hazards. Dr Davis served as the President Clinton appointee to the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board in the U.S.A. from 1994–­1999, an independent executive branch agency that investigates, prevents and mitigates chemical accidents.

As the former Senior Advisor to the Assistant Secretary for Health in the Department of Health and Human Services, she has counseled leading officials in the United States, United Nations, European Environment Agency, Pan American Health Organization, World Health Organization, and World Bank.

Meditation Moments …

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

You are doing your best. You came so far and sometimes you just need to pause for a moment and acknowledge yourself. Look at what you overcame. Look at how strong you are. Look at how better you’re doing. The end of anything is the beginning of something greater. If you spend more time acknowledging how magnificent and magical you are, you’ll get out of the fears and overthinking of what’s next. Next is greater. In every moment you’re evolving. Sometimes you might experience challenges that feel like a part of you is coming to an end but it’s needed. You’re evolving spiritually. You’re awakening. You’re realizing so much about yourself, who you really are, and what you deserve. In that transformation phase it can feel heavy or even uncomfortable. It’s not avoiding everything, but rather not being defined by anything. It is happening, what now? Smile about that. Release the need to control everything. That’s a safety mechanism to keep yourself the same when in a blink of an eye you can be living, feeling, and experiencing all that you have dreamed of. Familiarity creates repetition and that can feel comfortable. However, change doesn’t mean an end. It means a new experience. New feelings. New adventures. New things to learn. For once feel a moment of letting go of all control. Breathe. You don’t have to fully understand why and when. How and timing. You just need to allow and believe. Dream and imagine. Trust and pray. Be grateful for who you are. You are magnificent. Magical. Powerful. Gifted. Special. You are loved! You are whole! You are complete as you are. Nothing can be added or taken away. You just realize this throughout life and things get more joyful. You learn to accept, love, and appreciate yourself which expands your heart. It starts with you. I’m just here to remind you that you are okay and that it is okay. Be patient and loving to yourself. Give yourself credit because you are truly strong. Your past shows that. Nothing can break you. Gather yourself up and claim your divine truth right now.
