I was going to make the recipe for Al Capone's walnut pasta and artichoke tomato salad.. but I'm not feeling kitchen-y today.
Something easy...

(This was yesterday)
Several years ago, my friend Bonnie, who lives in Hawaii, out of the blue sent me a CARE package of Hawaiian decorations and goodies. I have been saving that box for a special occasion, and finally got that occasion this weekend.
My friend Jan's birthday is next week, and we decided to have an end-of-summer party, using some Hawaiian-inspired recipes and the box of gifts that Bonnie sent.
In Bonnie's box were leis, a beautiful tablecloth, a bottle of rum from Kaui, lovely shot glasses, a mug, and some macademia candies.
We had grilled Spam, pineapple and veg skewers (substituted Spam for ham) - loved them! https://www.thekitchn.com/hawaiian-pizza-skewers-23344688
Also, marinaded grilled shrimp - loved it! https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/131733/hawaiian-beach-shrimp/
And I had smoked a pork butt for pulled pork served with Hawaiian rolls - too bland, didn't love it (no photo)
Jan and I sampled the rum in our shot glasses - very smooth! Ann made coconut macademia bars for dessert that were spectacular!
Bonnie's beautifu, thoughtful, fun gifts sent so long ago made our party for us!
Pictures below. Ann is white-haired, Jan has light brown hair, Kathy is the redhead. Everybody, Bonnie is the platinum blonde.

Lovely pics Lee!
I had 2 basted eggs and an onion bagel for brunch.
I'm not hungry for anything else today, unless I have popcorn later.
