For dinner we went over to where Dallas’ Uncle Dee and Auntie Kathy live, the house where Dallas grew up in Waimea. It’s always fun for me to go back and see the house and imagine when Dallas’ family lived there. This time his sister and brother, Caroline and Jordan, were with us so we heard a few stories about things that happened there. Going over for dinner is a tradition I always look forward to when visiting Kaua’i.
I was also excited because the last time we saw Marissa was at her sister Tandy’s wedding and she and her husband were expecting their first child. And now it’s been so long since the baby was born. She has a little girl named Såfina who is more than a year old. So cute!
Uncle Dee and Auntie Kathy were great hosts and great cooks. They made dinner for all of us who were visiting and all we had to do was show up with beer. We got Guinness for Uncle Dee and Hinano, a Tahitian beer, for ourselves. These are all the things we had:
- Barbecue chicken
- Fried Saimin
- Sushi with canned tuna (local specialty)
- Kimchi
- Poke
- Lomi lomi salmon
- Seared Ahi
- Poi
- Grilled chicken
- Grilled steak
- Lettuce salad
- Macaroni salad
- Fruit salad
- Asparagus
- Rice

About the food at Uncle Dee’s, was that pupu or dinner?
Pupus:
Dinner:
I am in on the joke. Don’t let Jordan fool you. He was only saying “hey, this is the pupus, not the dinnah” so there’d be more pupus for him to hog!
Great photos. What kind of camera were you using?
