Since Jay was off today and could stay with dad, I spent the afternoon with Kai. I've only seen her once since she and her boyfriend Jason moved home from California last month. Like me, they moved home to help take care of Jason's father, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in November. Unfortunately though, Jason's father lost his battle a couple of weeks ago. Kai made salads for us to enjoy with her dad, and then we were off to the day spa in Manoa. We pampered ourselves with spa pedicures and manicures, so I told Mike he has to take me and my pretty nails out on a date now. Kai's parents treated us to dinner at the fine dining tapas restaurant called Hiroshi's at Restaurant Row (Yeah, Mike, don't think you're off the hook.). It was my first time eating tapas...and foie gras. Very rich food. It was a good time, and nice to catch up with Kai about traveling and Jason's father. The funeral is this Sunday. Having been friends with Kai since my days at UW, as roommates and having our own adventures living on the mainland for years, it is strange that we are both in Hawai'i now. But, that's the thing about growing up in Hawai'i and having a strong sense of family. It always brings you back to the islands.

What did you think of the foie gras?
Anna Rae never did develope a taste for it during her year in France. She said it wasn't a problem though 'cuz her French friends would look at her expectantly and ask, "Do you want your foie gras?", knowing full well that she would say "no" and they would happily eat it for her. In CA, foie gras is legally banned because of cruelty to animals (they force feed geese to enlarge their livers) and there is a similar bill in the works here in WA.
