Hello all...
Here are my most recent finds, most were from various scores at Goodwill's:

I grew up in Clearwater, with fond memories of Tiki Gardens as a child, and I remember my parents having a Tiki Gardens' cookbook. Well, after much digging, it is happy in it's new home in my Tiki Room;

Not nearly the reference guide to drinks and food that I ahd hoped, but still awesome.
Let me share a drink recipe:

Native Nectar
8 oz. Pinepple Juice

Serve 8 oz. chille Pineapple juice in a fancy footed goblet if possible with decorative Japanese long pick with luscious red cherry on end of pick - this is the nectar of the islands.

That's it!

No alcohol. No fancy-schmancy ingredients.
Heck, I know what I'm serving to guests at the Hukilau. Real, authentic Trader Frank's Native Nectar!
Now all I need is some footed glasses.

My parents' house is somewhat of a time capsule from the late 1980's, so I wasn't surprised to come across newspapers from 1986 and 1988. After a bit of looking, I actually came across a few ads for Tiki Gardens in the local paper (usually in the entertainment section)

(From February 14th, 1986)

(From December 9th, 1988)

Made me very happy!
