Luau prep
The day of the luau started off early with prepping, cooking and warming. We started before 8am so that everything would be ready to load up in the cars to head to Bishop Museum by 3pm to start setting up. The party was short (4pm-8pm), since it was a Sunday and many people had to work the next day. We estimate that we had well over 200 people come, and even had some food left over. Noa did a great job figuring out the correct quantities of everything.
Wai waiting for the next task...
Top Chef Espinosa hard at work stirring something
Liko stirring the Kalua Pig...
...and washing the rice pot
Miss Sharyl making the edamame (they were EXCELLENT!)
I was the official poi mixer this year. My wrist and thumb hurt after mixing 50lbs., and filling up 200 bowls (along with Ali`i). We filled and everyone else covered the bowls with the covers, or lids, or whatever they ended up deciding the name was, and stacking them in boxes.It was a true team effort. Thank you to the Espinosas, Victorinos, Bernards, Masuyamas, Tiff, Benedicts, Kamalei and Allens for being at the house bright and early and helping to cook and prepare all day long!
