PASTA MAKING CLASS

 I attended a pasta making class at Cookspace Hawaii with Chef Andrea Onetti from Italy.  It was a lot of work mixing and cutting the dough by hand.  Now that I know how to do it the hard way, I busted out my Kitchenaid mixer and pasta maker.  So much faster.  I can make a batch of pasta and freeze it. 

 We used 740 grams of "00" pasta flour, 300 grams of semolina flour and 10 eggs.

TURTLE BAY RESORT

 I worked at the Turtle Bay Hilton from 1985 to 1990.  So much has changed but some things stayed the same. 

 The Bay View beach.

 This is Kahuku Terrace where I got married in 1989.  Still the same.

The old Sea Tide Room where I had my wedding reception is now the fitness center. 

STACATION AT TURTLE BAY

 Charles and I had joined Tony and Cathy for a couples getaway at Turtle Bay.  We golfed at the Arnold Palmer Course, had dinner at Chorros and just enjoyed the weekend.

Dinner at Chorros in Haleiwa.

FRIDAY NIGHT FIREWORKS

 For Ashlee's last night, we took her to the Hilton Hawaiian Village for dinner and fireworks.  I'm going to miss that ball of energy.  She's a wonderful lady with a good heart.  Daddy's little girl.

BEACH BBQ

 I made Paella on the grill.  The guys caught Tako.  Just another gorgeous day at the beach.

SUNSET CRUISE

 We took the ladies on a sunset catamaran cruise.  It was a beautiful evening and calm cruise.  Note: don't wear high heels on a catamaran because it's not stable.
