Maui Some More

I just polished off some coconut French toast and it was good.

To make it at home, get some condensed coconut milk and mix it in your egg batter. Use Hawaiian, or a thick sweet bread. When the french toast is on your plate, top it with grated coconut, macadamia nut butter and pineapple syrup. Sip some pineapple juice with it.

Luau

Last night we went to our luau and it was pretty cool. B hates anything buffet-like and there was a food line. However, he faced it like a man and we had some (surprisingly grub) pulled pork, mahi, beef, ahi etc.

Dinner

After all 500 people ate, the show started. It was called "The Drums of the Pacific." It was loud and there was fire and hula girls and hula boys and it was entertaining. However, I feel like I'm exploiting "old Hawaii" as much as "the natives are exploiting it. I'm very conflicted with the whole, "sell your culture for the tourists" thing. I feel the same way in Mexico.

The seats at the luau were arranged like a elementary school cafeteria. There were big, long tables and everyone sat together. There were at least 50 newlyweds and many people, like us, were on their anniversary.

Today there's not a cloud in the sky and we're about to hit the pool.

I've been taking photos, but I forgot the cord at home that connects the camera to the laptop, so I'll add the pics when we get back home.

Hey mom and John, thanks for watching the pets!
