The Pupule Bridge

Okay kids, so basically the Pupule Luau was a great sucess. We had incredible weather in Cuernavaca, already known around the world as the city of the Eternal Spring. The pool was heated very nicely, the trampoline launched many of us into different orbits, and the various wooden swings hanging from trees were a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of Mexico City, the biggest city in the world. To add to this already good recipe for a summer luau, Patrick´s house assistant, Mari, really stepped up to the plate. She literally said to us, just give me the ingredientes and I will perform a one-woman Iron Chef competition. There is no need to beat around the bush, or to even be modest about this woman´s culinary skills. She delivered an incredible paella with ribs, shrimp, seafood, and chicken. Before the paella was ready, she even prepared some salmon & cheese rolls for the 70 plus crowd of hungry hungry Hawaiians. The Pupule Luau was the bridge to summer 2005, and for those of us that crossed it, we are now marinated enough to survive the summer sizzle that awaits us! Aloha to all! Cheers!
