Traditions & Thanks

I finally had the opportunity to make a traditional South African (family) recipe this weekend. 

Melktert. First time making it, and it turned out to be a success. YAY!!

Speaking of traditions, the Hawaiians are experts in that department. We were invited by my new friend Hoku (picture below) to celebrate Thanksgiving with her family. It was quite a feast, and we felt like part of the family. Imu- Hawaiian underground oven was used to cook and flavor the delicious turkey below. This was a good preview of what to expect at a Hawaiian lu'au. I can't wait to go to one, especially now!

There is so much I am thankful for... 

...getting to spend so much time with my hubby before the little Miss arrives...

...our baby girl...

...our home and this opportunity to live in Hawaii...

...not having morning sickness everyday...

...the people in my life...

...good food...

...missionaries...

...christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior!

Local Tourists...

Fun day in Waikiki. We decided to take a trip and be tourist for a day, which is fitting since we have only been here for 3 weeks. We stopped by a couple of the resorts located in the area in order to promote our video services. We think it was successful. Below are some pictures we took while exploring the resorts, which are beautiful by the way. 

While our adventures in tourist land were unfolding, Monique caught hold of a luring smell. The smell was defiantly food, but we were not sure were it was coming from. So, we literally followed the smell to a small Greek restaurant named The Fat Greek (poor guy). Ok, we have had some really good Greek food before, but this takes the cake (no pun intended). The food was AMAZING! After having our perfectly portioned meal, we got up and noticed an award on the wall. Not to our surprise, the awarded was for having the best Greek food on the island. So, we guess we aren't the only ones who think that place was swell.
