i pull up to Kekoa’s house after a long day in the sun. looked at the smoker to see what was getting smoked.
omg, look at these ahi kama provided by Red Sea Ocean Adventures.
Toda-san was first on the appetizer table. and he was the last too. i couldn’t count how many times he went for extras. haha.
then Kekoa and Mrs. Nakamoto in the kitchen cooking dinner.
i haven’t had a gathering like this in a very long time. such special people in one room sharing stories and laughter. this is what Hawaii is all about.
i went up to the dinner table 3x. i couldn’t stop eating because it was so good!
then Kekoa’s bar selection. amazing alcohol as i started off with some whisky.
i just love these ball ice. made me miss a very special person…
the dinner table was busy all night. i can’t believe how much we ate.
Papa Nakamoto cut up shiso and buried under it was red hot Hawaiian chili peppers. i didn’t know how one snuck into my somen but when i ate the whole thing, my mouth was on fire! i couldn’t taste anything after that.
Papa Crow is the best gyotaku artist in Hawaii. if you catch your special fish, he will print it for you so will never forget it. i still have my big kumu framed in my house.
after food, beer, whisky, vodka, sake, and dessert, it was time to make my journey home. thank you Kekoa for the invite to your wonderful house and BBQ. it’s always so nice to see you all so healthy and happy.
