Part of “the new normal” due to COVID-19 is ordering take-out or cooking at home. While there still are no events to report on our usual Bulletin Board, we continue to share recipes from Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin’s nostalgic “Favorite Island Cookery” cookbooks, which were published in the 1970s.
