Kalua Pig Pizza & Peeps Saturday



Tonight we had our neighbors - Mathew, Mark & Peter - and our friends FP and JJ (from Same Same But Different Travel) over for drinks and bar food in our tiki bar & lounge, Ke Ala 'Ula.



Along with some pineapple, mango, strawberries and Spam sliders, we enjoyed some Kalua pig pizza (margherita frozen pizza topped with Kalua pig and a little extra mozzarella). We also snacked on Sriracha peas that FP brought over - to which I'm now officially addicted.



By a crazy coincidence, both sets of guests brought Peeps dioramas as gifts - so it was decided that the day between Good Friday & Easter is officially Peeps Saturday.



FP's Peep diorama came in the form of a Pina Colada flavored cake, topped with coconut 'grass' and a gruesome scene of Peep on Peep violence. I particularly liked the use of cinnamon imperials to create bloody gashes - and the smashed Cadbury creme eggs strewn about. The perpetrator (Peepetrator?) is a yellow chick (the one with the toothpick in hit's wing) and it's succeeded in slaughtering all the other Peeps, except one lone bunny Peep - who's valiantly protecting the biggest egg.

Did I mention the cake was delicious, too? Moist and flavorful, thanks in part to Malibu Rum.



The guys brought their own Peep display, on a platter Mark made himself (he's a potter). It featured the big Kahuna Peep and a quintet of Peep hula dancers complete with leis and grass skirts. They're all lounging in a beach of sugar sand, under drink umbrellas - and sharing the beach with an array of tropical fish, honu (sea turtles) and devil ducks.

Thanks for the great time! The food was great and the movie was absolutely terrible. Success!
