Cousin, Rachelle, Kristin :: Waimea, Kaua’i

Dallas’ Uncle D and Aunt Kathy live in Waimea and had us over on Thursday night for dinner, along with other friends and family. Uncle D and Aunt Kathy live in the house that Dallas grew up in and his grandmother lives in another house on the property. The food that everyone brought and made was amazing. The pupu (appetizer) table had wontons with hot mustard sauce, sushi, stuffed lychee (with cream cheese and macedamia nuts), chicken wings, an artichoke/toast/mayo/parmesan appetizer that Kristin and I helped make, and my new favorite, seared ahi. Dallas had talked all week about this Portuguese meat that his aunt makes. It was so delicious. Kind of like post roast with the vegetables, but with more of a vinegar sauce. We also had grilled chicken breasts, fillet mignon, macaroni salad, a green salad with papaya seed dressing, and a fruit salad. If that wasn’t enough there were also several desserts. One of Dallas’ aunts found out I am a chocolate fiend and hooked me up with some triple chocolate cheese cake AND brownies. No wonder I gained weight this vacation! Everything was so great. Mahalo to Dallas’ family and friends for having us all over.
