Lau-Lau is a kind of Hawaiian food made with pork or chicken. I don't know whats eating my hubby and his craving for authentic Lau-lau, I'm not Hawaiian but I'll give it a shot and try my best to please him, we prefer Pork Lau-lau.
1). shows the ingredients of pork lau-lau, all you need is luao leaves or taro leave, ti leaves, pork butt cubes preferred with a little fat, butter fish (use for flavor, small size is good enough), and Hawaiian salt or rock salt.
2). lay a taro leaves assemble about 3 cubes of pork butt, 1 small butter fish and sprinkle a pinch of salt and wrap tightly with taro leaves.
3). shows how you place your wrap pork and taro on ti leaves, then wrap the ti leaves over.
4). shows how it looks like when all is wrap.
(i'll jump to # 6)
6). steam for 6 hours or until the taro leaves is done.
5). thats how it looks like when cook, yes not so appealing to look but its so delicious to eat! we love it so much!

Receiving a flower from a blogger friend is a nice feeling. Likewise, giving flowers is one way to express a range of emotions when words are unable to convey in the sender's behalf. For me, receiving this flower award carry a significant meaning.

Therefore, I would like to extend my gratitude to LIZA for the beautiful award. I love Roses!

Your Travel Personality Is: The Adventurer

For you, travel is how you learn about the world. And you like to learn the stuff that's not in guidebooks. You truly have wanderlust. When you're not traveling, you're dreaming about where you'll go next. And your travels are truly legendary - they leave you with stories you'll be telling for the rest of your life!

Hubby introduced me to Vietnamese food and I love it so much we always go to our favorite Vietnamese food shop, he alway order their famous PHO he just share me some because I can not consume tall the big bowl of PHO, we always have spring roll yum yum, I usually choose something with rice, and the Thai ice tea is so good.
Especially when hubby is sick or have colds he really want to dine at Vietnamese food shop because the PHO is eaten with fresh herbs that he believes can make him feel better.

I am so thankful of hubby's generosity. Hubby's know how much I love jewelries, he told me before about this Hawaiian Heirloom jewelries, this is Hawaiians style jewelries. On my birthday last year he gave this bangle with engrave greetings. The size of this bangle range from 12mm-40mm or what you like, next time I'm planning to have the 25mm hahahaha (I wish!)

I love to watch the sunset skies, though we have this VOG (volcanic Pollution) from the Kilauea Volcano of Big Island resulting to a hazy day, but a hazy day means a beautiful and so colorful sunset like this one here.
What a wonderful world, staring to this beautiful sky makes me forget for a while how chaotic our world this days.

This is Kahe point, leeward highway coastline starts here to the end of the island Kaena point, i'm not sure how many miles of coastline highway it is, maybe about 20 miles or more . Who don't want to live here, every day you see this beautiful pacific ocean, our house is just about 200 meters away from the ocean and I can view the ocean from our home. I love it here so much, especially when I'm bored and nothing to do I just sit and stare by the ocean side watching the sail boats! what a spectacular and relaxing site!

I really appreciate historical places and houses, and I like to visit this kind place and learning things about the structures like this one W.H. Stark House a Victorian landmark in Orange Texas. A 14,000 square-foot home was built in 1894 by William Henry Stark and his wife, Miriam M. Lutcher stark, prominent philanthropists who occupied the home until 1936. Designed in the queen Anne architectural style, the house features a distinctive turret, stained glass windows, and ornate woodwork in cypress and long leaf yellow pine.
A brief History of Stark:
Miriam Melissa Lutcher Stark moved to Orange, Texas, with her parents, Henry Jacob Lutcher and Frances Ann Lutcher, as a teenager in the late 1870s. Her father co-founded the Lutcher & Moore Lumber Company, which was the start of the philanthropic legacy of the Lutcher and Stark families.
In 1881, Miriam Lutcher married William Henry Stark, who was involved in various business endeavors including banking, oil, rice, and insurance. Upon the death of Miriam’s father, William Henry Stark became the president of the Lutcher & Moore Lumber Company. He and Miriam had two children, Frances Ann Stark and H.J. Lutcher Stark. Frances Ann Stark died as a young child, but H.J. Lutcher Stark survived his parents. Miriam and W.H. Stark were avid collectors who instilled in their son, H.J. Lutcher Stark, a lifetime dedication to philanthropy and the arts that continues to benefit the Orange, Texas, community today.
The W.H. Stark House is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and designated as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark by the Texas Historical Commission. It is operated as a program of the Nelda C. and H.J. Lutcher Stark Foundation, a private foundation established in 1961 by H.J. Lutcher Stark, the only surviving child of W.H. and Miriam Stark.
What a nice place to visit and a well preserve historical place.

During weekend I really find time to grill for dinner, so last sunday I decided to make this beef barbecue, I marinate it for couple hours with soy sauce a little vinegar brown sugar spices and a little sprite! yah sprite, its a good meat tenderizer and it gives your meat the fruity sweet taste.

I take a little break from blogging yesterday and today, I just check my blogs for a while but I was not able to visit most of my friends (sorry for that guys). Hubby was home too for two days, we sleep and eat a lot and go to the mall, we need to take a little break and enjoy each others company. Today we went to the windward side of the island, hubby went to the gym and I shop while waiting for him. Im happy I found the purse that I like.

To all my Friends and co-bloggers whom I have linked on my BLOG ROLL, pretty soon I'll be cleaning up and updating my BLOG ROLL, if I happen to find out that I have linked you on this blog and I was not linked up on your blog, I'm sorry but I have to delete your name on my blog roll. Each and everyone of us knows the important and benefits of being link...And to those Who have LINKED me and can't find your names and links here, feel free to leave me a message and inform me so I can link you...

It's almost summer time and it's already getting hotter each day!. And when the weather is hot we need something to refresh ourselves or quench our thirst!
But what ever season we got here, we always have this in stock! ICE CREAM, my hubby is so crazy with Ice Creams when we go to Asian Market he always grab Magnolia Ice Cream and when he happen to stop by Costco he always grab Hagen dazs...

I've been blogging for 3 months now, and I already earned some bucks! I transfer some last week on my bank account because I promise to treat hubby for dinner. Its Friday and he just stayed home, I told him I want to treat him for dinner and ask him where he wanted to go. I like to dine at Tony Roma's but He decided to have sushi, so we end up at Ala Moana Mall and have buffet dinner at TSUKIJI, the sushi's are good, hubby ate a lot of king crab legs I don't have appetite for crab legs this time so I ate kalbi and sushi's only...
That was good and I spent $100 including tip, It feels good to treat my hubby once in a while especially with the money I've earned. I make a promise again if I get my quota of certain amount I'll treat him at RUTH CRIS Steak house, it's my payback time because he always treat me to fancy restaurant even we have no occasion.
I love you babe for being so nice to me, for loving me and being so generous too lol.
