Burgers @ Hyatt

May I take your order?

My Family was in the mood for burgers, so we went to Hyatt and had an angus burger and a mahi burger. This is the Mahi burger:

My husband ordered the Angus burger.

Both my kids ordered the Mahi-burger. Here is my son enjoying it!

I ordered the spaghetti bolongese. It was okay, I just have to say I expected more for Hyatt. This seemed like it came out of my kitchen, so either my cooking has improved or Hyatt has cut back on its taste and flavor of its spaghetti bolongese. For $14 a plate, I would rather order something else.

My niece's boyfriend Jeff was our waiter. Well, not exactly, but we are glad he was there.

I made this last week. It is called apigigi. Apigigi is young coconut grilled in banana leaves. This is delicious! I can just smell it right now!

We had BBQ lemai (Breadfruit). The outside is charred because it was thrown directly on hot flames. This is delicious with some butter and sugar.

Fresh Baked sweet bread

Thanks to my good friend Donna and the recipe she gave me, I made sweet bread AGAIN last night, it is just so heartwarming to smell freshly baked bread, baking at your house, the aromatic smell is better than any spray bottle you can buy!!! LOL..

On Saturday, I made a toffee bar, oh my goodness, this is also insanely delicious.... topped with walnuts, almonds and pecans, this was also quite on the expensive side, but I think well worth it!!

Then it was chocolate cake. We were doing some work around the house and I felt that the workers helping me needed a great big chocolate cake to boost their energy, and they were so thrilled!

Okay, for the finale, I made KAHLUA PIE last night. My husband was all over this pie, oh my goodness!!! It is a cream pie and homemade cookie crusts. I wish I made more as I had to ration my sister when she came over last night!! I will make more next time, it is just that all my baking ingredients are taking a toll on my baking budget, or my budget for that matter!

Sunday BBQ

I JUST LOVE MY FAMILY... I love how everyone always gathers at the farm on Sundays!

The best part, FOOD! There is always more than enough barbecue for everyone.

Good food, good company, what more can I ask for... LOL

GRAB A PLATE AND FORK AND DIG IN... enjoy!

BBQ Pork ribs

mmm' mmm good..

ham

Shrimp tempura (chamorro style) they are like shrimp fritters with mixed vegetable, fried till brown and crispy.. YUMMY

Chicken Aroscaldo (similar to rice porridge, but tastier!)

Burgers, farm style..LOL

AND YOUNG COCONUT... I AM ALWAYS EXTRA HAPPY WHEN THERE IS YOUNG COCONUT TO DRINK AND EAT AFTER....

All Berried out...

All berried out.....

I am so glad that a new store on island has brought in fresh fruits at a reasonable price. Well, either the strawberries are reasonably priced, or it is just in season in the mainland therefore the prices have dropped. A quart of strawberries could cost you about $9.00 US DOLLARS. I refuse to pay so much! I did but fresh strawberries, blueberries and cherries (Quart and pint sizes for under $25.00 still pricier than the mainland, but about half the price on other markets on island!) So what does a girl do with all these fruits? PARFAIT...

Wednesday Night Baking.....

I don't know what it was, but I was in the mood for some baking again last night (yeah, when am I not in the mood?) The wierd thing is my hubby was also waiting, for the cake and bread to be done. I made this delicious cake last night, it has pecans and coconut and is so moist it is sinfully delicious. This is what I will bring on the next party I go to... I am so excited! My sister Bobbie gave me the recipe, I am so glad she found it!

You can see how moist the cake was, it was so delicious!!!

Thank you "SIS" for this wonderful cake recipe...
