MEMOIRS AT THE MOANA - LANAI TABURA POP-UP DINNER

MEMOIRS AT THE MOANA
WESTIN MOANA SURFRIDER
HOSTED BY LANAI TABURA

Really enjoyed the Pop Up Dinner at the Moana Surfrider hosted by Lanai.  The food and drinks were really good and better than we expected.  Enjoyed every single dish and finished everything on every plate.  My faves were the Lobster Poke with Uni and Pork Tinola.  The Malasadas were also off the charts delicious.  The Chef and Lanai provided a course by course description of the food and its history.  They kept the stories short which kept these moving.
Sitting at our table was a true American hero.  Dr. Anthony Canfield who was the Doctor serving in Somalia during the Black Hawk Down incident.  Tony cared for and saved lives while on the ground in Mogadishu.

SANTOS FAMILY FAVORITES DINNER PARTY

DINNER AT HOME

We had a business rep I work with and his Wife join us for a dinner on our lanai.  Thought we would pull together some Santos family favorites to enjoy with them.  Turns out they have the same tastes because they loved and ate everything.  We stayed pretty much low carb with this dinner too.  Not shown were Mashed Potatoes with Parmesan Cheese, Caesar salad with Avocado and fresh Berries with Cream for dessert.  Great evening eating and talking about life.  Blessed for nights like this.
