Cantaloupe Poke, a recipe by Daphne K. Jenkins, June 2020.
Переглядів 1044 роки тому
Here's a fun take on Hawaiian poke that came up with because I couldn't get to the store to purchase raw fish or he'e (octopus) during COVID-19 quarantine. I had all the other ingredients for a simple poke, so I tried this savory application with cantaloupe. I was inspired by the Italian pairing of Prosciutto e melone. Enjoy!
Cherry Pie
Переглядів 1049 років тому
Cherry Pie is a short film about overcoming indecision. And it's about pie. In an almost empty roadside diner, Buddy, a drifter, sits alone anxiously staring out the window at a scene in the parking lot. Abel, a cocksure hustler, watches Buddy from a video lottery machine nearby. Fascinated by Buddy's apparent analysis paralysis, Abel decides to intervene.
Punkin' Pie
Переглядів 3979 років тому
Let's face it. Making a pie from scratch can be über intimidating, even for the seasoned cook. The ingenious substitution of butternut squash for pumpkin and the use of vodka in the crust make this from-scratch "punkin' pie" recipe foolproof. Watch this video, follow the recipe in our handy Hipstah Chef booklet, and you'll be the one bringin' your pies to the table this holiday season. Cheers! ...

Experimenting with film as poetry in this self-portrait that explores my ritualistic photo-boothing.
this isnt a haku lei
I missed the part where the one you used to secure the flowers and fillers was attached to where🤔.
Sooo lovely
Thank you for the very helpful video!
❤🫶
How do you store it or keep it fresh?
Beautiful
Thank you for sharing a beautiful talent making haku appreciate it mahalo niu loa 💕
I’m practicing for a wedding. Mahalo!
This video is appreciated! Thank you l!!
You are incorrect in calling this “haku lei.” Lei worn on the head are not all “haku lei”. Haku is a lei technique, which means “to braid”. You are correct in staying that this lei is made with the “wili” technique, so you made a “lei wili”. And if the lei is worn on the head, or poʻo in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, it is called “lei poʻo”. The term “haku” or “haku lei” has been misused for a LONG time.
Hi, would you have to make this the day before the graduation since it’s real flowers ? Or how many days can I do it before the day of?
Puʻupuʻu lei, pali i ka ʻāʻī. ‘Āʻī is neck, ʻai is food.
Thanks for sharing. It's so beautiful ❤️
Love it!
It is easier than the other way
I made ribbon lei, but all are not as beautiful as this fresh flower lei. I want to learn making fresh flower lei someday. Thank you for showing...
Beautiful!
I have a weird question, but were you in TV Production at Leeward Community college?
The best lei making video EVER
Very well explained!
Well done creating this lei poo. Easy to follow for those who dont know how to make it.
Thank you so much for the video! Definitely one of the most beautiful crowns that I ‘ve seen! I would like to know the names of the leaves and flowers that you used in the video. 🙏 Please!!!!
I’m doing this this coming weekend! I am so nervous! But thank you fir this video. Mahalo nui
Beautiful <3. Can you please tell me the song in the background? Thank you very much.
How do you preserve a haku? Keep in refrigerator and just keep it moist?
Spray your lei po'o with water, wrap it in newspaper, and place in a plastic shopping bag in fridge. Lei po'o keeps for about a week.
@@leilani3810 You are a lifesaver! Thanks so much :)
Thank you for this video 😍😍, it really helped alot esp for me doing it for the first time, i hope mines turn out well when i make it :)
Thank you:) I already have rafia at home for some reason, and I'm going to Oahu for the first time in may! But the classes that teach you how to make your own lei poʻo are incredibly expensive. This video is very helpful. I'm not familiar with the flora there, is it possible for me to go and trim some flowers while there? I would love to use actual native plants. (are there enough, is it allowed, where can I go) Thanks for any help!
Go to a florist.
This was an awesome tutorial. Thank you!
This is a wili not haku.
beautifully made
Very awesome!
hi, i'm a little confused on what happend to the six strands of raffia tied together. It then mentiones starting the flowers 5" from the string edge, but only one piece of raffia is used the whole time to wrap over the flowers?
I use the six strands of rafia (braided) as the "spine" of the lei. The rope that the flowers will be bound to. This braided six-strand rafia is what is tied together to secure the lei - to tie both ends together. I used multiple (many) pieces of wet rafia to secure the bunches of flowers as I went inch by inch and created the lei. Bind the wet rafia very tightly and then add another strand when needed to continue the winding wrap. There are other ways of making a lei po'o (lei for your head) which involves using a braid to secure the flowers- braiding the flower bunches in. In this video, I did the wili, or wrapping round and round and round method.
ah ok, i'm trying to research how to make disney moanas head crown, but i've found out what the traditional word, sorry was confnused as I thought you were then using what looked like a rope. So why do you wet the raffia, can you not use it dry? I really want to use what looks like a more traditinal method rather than a plastic or cradbaord base that a lot of childrens one are made from. Thank you kindly for your time it's much appreciated. :)
When wet, rafia becomes stretches a bit more and is more supple. This is good when wrapping flower bunches very tightly- you are able to pull harder to secure everything to the "spine" or the lei. When the raffia dries, the flower bunches will be secure. I have found that working with dry rafia is not as secure. There may be bunches that fall out of the final product. My high school classmate, Meleana, teaches a different method you can see here: ua-cam.com/video/obE6RG_o2D0/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for your time, I've now noticed Moanas hair piece lei has flowers all the way around, though Disney can make anything in a drawing, though I wondered if maybe after you have tied the knott at the end maybe some flowers could be added to fill in the gap showing the spine? Thanks for responding and helping, I like to know why things are done for that purpose or I have trouble understand tutorials sometimes. It's all ok people just saying do this do that, but I like explanations to understand why it is needed, it really helps me understand things better. Wish me luck, i'm looking around the internet right now for some artifical leaves & flowers, never made one of these before, but i'm looking forward to it. Tracy :)
when wrapping the wet rafia around the spine how would you end the wet rafia? by tying a knot after wrapping it around the last set of flowers?
Hi Sophy! Yes, make a knot and secure the end of your binding.
Such a helpful video! I wanted to try and make one for my sisters graduation and was wondering about how long it would take? (Considering this would be my first attempt hahaha)
Please I tried to do it but I couldn't do you have a website and sell haku?
I'm not sure where you are, but here are some websites to try: meleana.com/workshops-2/ instagram.com/leibyleilani/
I'm not currently making lei and selling them.
Do you have a website?

Thank you for this tutorial. ..just o e question....the rafia you used to tie the flowers with, is it the same braided rafia or is oit another piece? That part confused me...
I used a different strand of rafia to bind the flowers to the braid. It is the same type of rafia, from the same bunch I used for the braid, but a completely different strand. Some lei are made by binding the flowers into the braid. This wrapping of "wili" technique has always worked best for me ;)
lei po`o...haku means to braid
Yes. Technically, this is a lei po'o made with wili technique.
what greens and flowers did you use?
She used leather leaf, waxflower, solidaster, spray roses, and chrysanthemums.
Thank you! Honestly, I went to the flower market and picked out what I liked visually! It was a scramble to get ready for shooting this project ;)
Taylor Bowden Thank so much for the information! . The red fillers is solidaster?
Mahalo making one for daughter-in-laws graduation in July 2016, Aloha!
beautiful
Thank you so much for sharing. I priced Hakus for our White Sunday program and the costs were so high. I think it will be better if I could make it myself, especially when I have 30 that I need. Thanks again.
Mahalo nui loa!!! Is beautiful, thanks for sharing. 😘😍😘😍😘
