A Polynesian foodie night, at High in the Sky, inspired in part by Dick and Maureen's cruise.Hadn't seen Caroline since August in Waupoos, and Jim even longer than that - was it really last spring?
Maureen and Caroline greeted Rob and I playing their ukuleles, and soon afterward I was handed a Pina Colada that banished any thoughts of a dark November evening.
Hours before I had been in the grocery store asking a question I would not have imagined I would be asking a couple of weeks earlier: "Where's the Spam?" But after I'd googled Hawaain side dishes, Spam turned up a lot in the list of ingredients, so I thought I'd try it. Other firsts were using toasted ramen noodles in a salad (a great crunch), and making a popular but simple luau dessert with coconut milk.
Maureen and Caroline were also trying out new recipes with Polynesian flavours. I could almost hear the ocean waves.
Culinary adventures!
