Conch

Back in college, I went to the Bahamas with my girlfriends for spring break. Everywhere you go, they serve conch fritters. As much as I loved them in the beginning, I couldn't look at another conch fritter by the 3rd day. You don't see conch fritters much in NY (I probably never have), so I was ready for conch fritters again. I looked up several recipes but I didn't have the standard ingredients s

Aloha everybody and welcome back to our Hawaii photo of the Week! Honolulu based photographer Jennifer Crites selected for today a special photo closely connected to ancient Hawaiian traditions and culture: a Hawaiian conch shell blower. Those of you who have stayed at one of our Hawaii Beach hotels probably experienced the sound of the conch shell first hand when the tiki torches got lit at sunset and a guy or girl dressed in typical ancient Hawaiian outfit was running from torch to torch and also blowing the conch shell at certain locations. It always attracts a crowd of visitors, naturally the kids are most impressed and follow the conch shell blower around the hotel.Blowing the 'Pu' (pronounced 'poo'), which is the Hawaiian name for conch shell, marks these days very ofte

On Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, there is a certain wedding dress shop that looks like it has been there forever. If you keep walking past the excited hum of bride-filled dressing rooms to an old service elevator, and take this elevator up to the second floor, you'll find my office.I've been working as an assistant to a pop star, a diva, you'd know her. Let's call her the "Queen Conch." I'd say she was about ten years older than me, but her true age is a well-kept secret.You'd think my life was pretty glamorous, all concerts and bling, if it weren't for the fact that I'm actually the third assistant to the Queen. This means I've mostly been working for Betty, the second assistant. So far as Betty and I can tell, Eva, the first assistant, is the only one of us who has seen or spoken to the Q. C. since we started. The Queen's got her hands in everything, so Betty and I help organize her various projects (like last week's benefit and this week's fashion show) and field phone c
