Morning for us. 36th Wedding Anniversary. Probably a visit to Old Town Koloa today and a very nice dinner. Just talked to a clock associate that said he was on the big island. They held out until their 40th anniversary though. It must have been time. Mike |

But today is Tuesday. Tuesday is Malasadas day at Passion bakery and cafe. How can one live vicariously if he doesn’t post? Mike  What are those things? Sweet or savory? I'm going to take a wild guess and postulate that they are some kind of doughnut.
Yeppers, you got it. The island imported workers for the cane fields in days gone by, and a lot of those workers were Portuguese. It’s a traditional Portuguese donut, with a Hawaiian twist, they generally have a filling, and the Portuguese used traditional Hawaiian fruits like Lilikoi, Coconut, Pineapple, Guava, Mango, in addition to more tradional fillings like strawberry, chocolate, etc. The Bakery and cafe in Kapaa is sort of known for their Malasadas and they only make them a couple of days of the week and they always sell out. Not exactly health food, but they are delicious washed down with some coffee. Mike |

Sonny Chillingworth's "Charmarita/Malasadas." Not sure whether this is a mashup of two tunes or one tune with two titles.
Another version:

A bit more digging unearthed this. Makana studied with Sonny when he was quite young and later did a bunch of research to figure out the words to this song, which probably originates in Portugal, perhaps brought to Hawai`i via the Azores. Sonny's influence on Makana's singing is pretty clear.
