CHICKEN ROLL

 I created this chicken roll with spinach, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, wrapped with Prosciutto.  After wrapping the rolls, place in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Top with Marinara sauce and serve with pasta.  It's a great light and easy meal.  You can prepare it ahead of time for those week night dinners.

KNIFE SKILLS CLASS

 I have always wanted to learn how to chop, slice and dice better.  Cook Space Hawaii offers cooking classes, so I took the Knife Skills Class.  I learned so much and it has really helped my knife skills.  After slicing the onions, we made French Onion Soup.  With the diced vegetables we made a healthy vegetable stew with herb bouquet.  I learned to cut an orange and with the sliced wedges, made a refreshing salad with sliced mint.  I am so proud of myself and had a blast.

 Chef Kevin Lee demonstrates the peeling of an orange and extracting of the wedges with no membrane.

MY NAME ON THE GOLF COURSE

 While waiting for the foursome ahead of me, I got bored and carved my name in a leaf with a tee.  Two weeks later it popped out.  My name is at C9 at the Hawaii Prince Golf Course.

MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT MAKING LASAGNA

 I finally attempted to make a Lasagna and it came out good.  I cooked the Lasagna pasta al dente.  I used a meat sauce I had made earlier and kept in the freezer.  For the Ricotta cheese mixture, mix with one egg to 8 ounces of cheese.  I also sliced eggplant lengthwise.  The layers were meat sauce, pasta, eggplant, meat sauce, ricotta, mozzarella cheese, shredded Parmesan. pasta, meat sauce, ricotta, mozzarella.  Bake for one hour at 350 degrees.  If I do this again, I'm going to wait until the last 15 minutes before putting on the last layer of mozzarella.  Make sure you tuck in the past around the edges so they don't burn or get dried out.

JTB GOODWILL GOLF TOURNAMENT

Team Waikiki Beach Marriott at the JTB Goodwill Golf Tournament. Lance Kimura and from Expedia, Alex Moxey. We came in 2nd place and our prize was a Vizio 2.1-channel home-theater soundbar with wireless subwoofer.I also won a travel golf bag and because it was the 25th golf tournament, 25 of us got $25 and they called my name.  It was the best tournament with food and beverage stations every 2 holes and games on the par 3's to earn more prizes.

COURTS GOLF TOURNAMENT

 My friend, Tony, had another tournament for his surf club at the Kaneohe Klipper Club on the Kaneohe Marine Corps Base.  Charles, Brian, Glenn and I put together a team like we did last year.  We didn't win but we came home with great prizes.

 What a great view from the tee box.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA AND EAN

 Anna and Ean, here with mom Kara, have the same birthday.  So we had them over to celebrate their birthdays.  The kids loved our pool, video games and of course, cake and ice cream.  The adults enjoyed the king crab, sashimi and dominos.
