May Day in November

I like to entertain. I like to do different things like Christmas in July. This year I decided to do a May Day in November.

In Hawaii, May Day is a big deal. It is a day to celebrate the Hawaiian heritage, food and music. I invited a few friends over and we had Hawaiian food and listened to Hawaiian music while enjoying each other's company.

Since people in Hawaii eat Spam I found a recipe for Spam and Pineapple Kabobs, brushed with honey and broiled. They were good.

I made Lomi Lomi Salmon, Oven Roasted Kahlua Pork with Cabbage and Huli Huli Chicken.

A few years ago my wonderful co-workers gave me some sea shell shaped floating candles. I used them for a table centerpiece.

Guests included Emily, Damon and Nancy.

Bill and Sue. There was a prize for the most colorful a/k/a loud shirt. There was a coin toss between Bill and Nancy. Had Damon been there on time he would have won.

After everyone left I got the kitchen cleaned up. I cannot stand waking up to a messy kitchen.

By the time I was done the dining room was ready for Thanksgiving.

The living room was back to normal. It was a fun night and next time I'll invite more people. Aloha!
