Hawaiian sea salts have a distinct flavor. They don’t have that bitter aftertaste that comes from iodine in ordinary table salts. It is a mild tasting salt that has not been processed. It’s also mineral rich. It has also been said to have medicinal properties. My favorite is the red variety.

We were also thought Bible stories from Noah’s Ark to modern inspirational stories. One of the most unforgettable stories was the “gift of the magi“.
There are two versions of the gift of the magi. The most popular one was about the wise men called the magi who brought gifts for the baby Jesus. The wise men brought gold, frankincense and myrrh.
