The great thing is the festival was only minutes from our apartment, probably about a 10 minute walk. We had a really fun time. First, we watched a celebrity cook-off, with Dog and Beth Chapman of Dog the Bounty Hunter, verses the state prosecutor of Hawaii and his wife. I love Dog the Bounty Hunter, so I was so excited to see them up close!
After we watched that for awhile, we tried some yummy food! I had Tender Chicken Curry over Yellow Fragrant Jasmine Rice with Flakey Roti Paratha Bread and some Tiramisu with Kona Coffee Anglaise. Both were so good! Ry had Egyptian Rack of Lamb with Shariya Rice and Yogurt Cucumber Mint Sauce, and Banana's Foster for dessert. And, Den had a Mini Hawaiian Plate with Kalua Pig (yum!!), Chicken Long Rice, Lomi Salmon, Rice and Haupia, and for dessert, the Banana's Foster. The best part of tonight though, is I got to meet Dog and Beth Chapman! !
I was so excited to meet them! We actually live right down the street from their office here, Da Kine Bail Bonds. It's literally like a 3 minute walk away. Dog asked where we worked and we told him CARE Hawaii, and Beth said "we catch em, and you fix em." I was just so thrilled that she said that. Anyway, that was the highlight of my night, and that was one of my dreams while we were here, to meet them. I'll have more tomorrow!! Oh, and here's one more random picture. This is actually the picture of the building we live in. Ry took this picture and I thought it looked great.

What an exciting weekend you have planned. And the Friday night was eventful for sure. I am looking forward to eating some of that Hawaiian food. It sounds delicious. Have fun this weekend. I am sure Denny feels really relaxed now that he is done with the first school year for the doctorate. See, you CARE employees are vital to the community! You are making a difference there. Love, Mom C.
