Kapa'au , Hawai'i
I'm looking for ways to get more connected with the wonderfully multi-cultural community here. And tonight was exceptional. Some locals have grant money to serve a feast once a month that cuts across all the generations. And each month it's a different ethnic feast. Tomorrow it's Chinese. So tonight was prep night. About 20 of us gathered at the community center that has a professional kitchen and cleaned and chopped and sliced and grated and ground and stirred and washed and dried. Sheep, fish, chicken, garlic, onions, carrots, scallions, ginger, cabbage, leafy greens, bowls, knives, cutting boards, peelers, and pots. And laughed and told stories and got to know each other. Kids and young folks and old folks. All together. As it should be. Food came from the local farms and the grocery store.
And tomorrow we cook up a storm. Can't wait!
Aloha, Bag Lady
