time flies when you are having fun!

Time passes quickly these days. So much going on. not even time to pause and write about it. This photo is from a week ago, we did a catering at the DONKEY MILL ART CENTER in Holualoa in the mountains above Kona. It was a fundraising kick off event to start to build new classrooms etc at this very beautiful community art school and gallery.

There were 5 other catering or chef's tables there. Ours was lovely and simple but held it's own. We were serving Smoked Salmon tartar on crostini with tobiko, and Smoked pork on homemade tortillas with red pepper jelly. My catering partner was Masami and lovely German Japanese chef we brought here to Kona from our Tokyo Restaurant. The event started at around 4pm and went until about 8. We saw a lovely sunset. And we got rave reviews on our food. More pictures of the Fujimamas Catering Table here.

I loved the little town where the center is, lots of galleries, coffee shops and coffee farms. I wouldn't mind living there until we have something going in Hilo. some day!

The rest of last week until thurs. I was working at fujis in Kona then On THURS we FINALLY OFFICIALLY OPENED HULI SUE'S !!!! So the last three days have been a whirlwind of activity, customers, and trying to figure out some start up systems as we get going. The food is BBQ and some great Chef Mark Vann apps and grill items. Plus I really like the pork stew! (this photo gallery is from a tasting the week before we opened.)

More on all things Huli Sue's and Hawaii- as I have time.
