Hawaiian Luau
by Next weekend I'm going to a Bachelorette party with the theme of Hawaiian Luau. The bride to be and groom to be will be honeymooning in Hawaii. I was assigned to make the meat portion of the meal. What a funny assignment for a flexitarian! Anyway, I was thinking coconut chicken on skewers. I need to do like some marinated grilled stuff. I need suggestions.

aww! so cute frest! looked like everyone had a great time!!
The kids were so great and easy to please. The youngest boy Jesse said, "This party is so cool." and his sister Lily said, "I never knew a luau would be fun."
you should make skewered hawaiians, and hawaiian punch.
considering this happened over 3 years ago i'd say it's a little late
better late than never.
I revived it with some new ideas. I wonder if I can import Hawaiians. I've got plenty of skewers....
ha! I'm not a flexitarian anymore. Despite persistent efforts, I have yet to be reindoctrinated in vegetarianism by the large portion of my congregation that are vegetarians. I AM throwing a Luau next weekend for the families in my congregation with young kids. Food ideas so far: pineapple stuffing, banana bread/muffins with macadamia nuts, coconut shrimp, apricot salad with almonds and raisins, sweet and sour chicken, brown rice, mango or papaya salsa, guava jelly. A guest is preparing poi for me. Any other ideas? Preferably vegetarian. My mind automatically goes to pork, but so few of the guests will eat it that it's not worth it.
:) i can bring young children and pretend that they are mine.
ha read this when you were hungry? it's a far ride for a backyard party.
true true. it just sounds like a good time. how far away are you again?
from you? probably 3.5 hours. exit 7 off the turnpike and it's another hour or so from there.
negative son. you were correct, too far away. but we do have to get together soon. and your party does sound like good times and mighty delicious.
no mangos or papyas-not from hawaii. and instead of brown rice, i'm going to learn how to make coconut rice.
You know I was just thinking it would be hot to chop open a fresh coconut and gut it out. Then at the bottom you can sort of chop it down nice and flat. Then use it as a cup to serve pina colodas :)
make some tofu like marzipan...

so was i ;)
oh... lol man i'm slow
i have to say, i'm quite the fan of some egg fu young. man. that's some good eatin right there.
what's in that?
What is a flexitarian?
it's me. i'm vegetarian but if someone makes meat and i think they'll be offended that i don't eat it...i eat it. and then i get sick afterwards. sometimes i even eat it when i crave it-i just always get sick afterwards.
Oh interesting did you come up with that designation yourself? lol
no other people use this terminology as well
Oh ok I've just never heard it before I'll have to remember that.
hmmm true. i like brown rice tho i think i'll do that. i have to see about the furagaki-might be hard to track some down.
i think any asian market will have it
kk i know EXACTLY where to go now that i think about it. thanks!
rice.....you always need white rice for a luau and some furagaki (sp?) it's crushed seaweed and it's SO tasty on steamed white rice
bump *try the furugaki
i plan on it!
