Breadfruit chips

(Eat Local Challenge Day 24: what and why)

In Kona, we went to a Mexican place that had deep-fried tortilla chips dusted with cinnamon and drizzled with honey. I had a sudden craving for these, and with no tortillas, but lots of breadfruit, I improvised. Sliced thin on a mandoline, coated with mac nut oil, and baked, the breadfruit makes a passable substitute, but not so light and airy as what we had in Kona.

I think this last week is going to be hard. I'm somewhat ashamed to admit it, but I'm counting down the days until the challenge is over. All I can think about is bakeries and ice cream parlors and portuguese sweet bread. I guess now is the time to get really creative in order to make it to the end. But it's hard to be creative when you're hungry :(
