Hau'oli Makahiki Hou from Bistro 108

As many of you are aware Susan and I flew to the beautiful island of Kauai, Hawaii to cater John Lincke and Christa Jenkins' wedding. We left La Grange at 6 am on December 28 and arrived in Hanalei at around 8 pm Hawaiian time. We spent Wednesday shopping for the wedding.
We are staying in a beautiful house two blocks from the beach where the wedding will take place at 9 am 01-01-11 on Hanalei Bay.

Susan spent today baking the wedding cake while I went on a day long trip to the Waimea Canyon (the Grand Canyon of Hawaii). At the end of the road you are at 5,140 feet and one of the wettest spots on earth. They get over 400 inches of rain a year. (Don't you wish we could ship some back home!)

Tomorrow we cook some more and finish the wedding cake.

Aloha till tomorrow.(The picture below is a painting of Hanalei Bay)
