On Friday we celebrated Dallas’ birthday by inviting a bunch of people over and getting Hawaiian food catered in from Aloha Grill. We had kalbi ribs, katsu chicken, mac salad and rice. Billy, these photos are just for you!

After dinner we had brownies that Kristin made. The candle there isn’t some sort of weird Hawaiian thing, it’s the closest to birthday candles we could find in the house. Can’t have a cake without at least one candle for a birthday wish.

To work off all the food we played an epic game of Left, Right, Center. 12 people x 3 dollars/round x 3 rounds. No one could believe it pushed into a third round. Jen took home over $100 by rolling that dot at the end. Texas Hold’em was next. I went to bed at 2:30 and there were still 3 people in the game with pretty evenly distributed chips. I think it went on til like 4am, when Darren ended it by taking down Trent.

Last week Friday Dallas and I went to the Bishop Museum in Honolulu. The museum was founded in 1889 by Charles Bishop in honor of his late wife, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the last decendant of the royal Kamehameha family. The museum houses extensive collections of Hawaiian and Pacific Island artifacts, documents and photographs. Bishop Museum is the largest museum in Hawaii. My favorite exhibit was the one where they showed how so many different cultures came together in Hawaii. From other Pacific Islanders in the beginning, to Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Portuegese, Phillippino, Korean, etc.

After the museum we went to Ala Moana Shopping Center, this huge-ass mall that has like 300 stores. I did a little shopping. Dallas was hungry for chicken katsu so we went to L&L Drive-Inn for lunch.

That night we went to Kathy’s Aunty Kitty’s house in Aina Haina for dinner. All of Kathy’s good friends and family in Oahu were there. Many of them hadn’t gotten together for quite a while so it was a family reunion of sorts. Someone must have felt Dallas’ earlier craving for chicken katsu because there was a TON of it for dinner.. along with many other traditional Korean and Hawaiian dishes.
