Our 2nd Annual Luau



Last year we hosted a luau (on Bastille Day for you Francophiles) for our housewarming party. This year we decided to do it again while we had family (i.e. unpaid assistants) in town. Pat and Jim (Dan's parents) arrived at the beginning of August and my sister, Adriene, her husband, Dwane, and their three daughters, Naomi, Olivia and Danielle, arrived a week later. Dan and I decided to serve the same menu as last year: Pineapple-glazed pork loin, Teriyaki chicken legs, Broccoli Slaw, Tropical Fruit Salad, Asian Tossed Salad, and Frozen Fruit Bars. It was a real family affair: Adriene and Pat did most of the shopping, Dan and Jim did last minute repairs to our deck, Dwane, Jim and the girls did most of the set up/decorating and Dan, Adriene and I did most of the prep/cooking.
