Day 29: Birthday Cookout (J)

Cook-out for Justin's birthday.  His parents came in from Kaua'i, brought a ton of fresh fish, grilled various types of meat and basically gave the house leftovers for over a week.  Top Picture: Justin, Elsa and his parents (taken from Facebook).  Middle: the lovely spread.  Bottom:  perhaps my new favorite dessert-- the coco puffs from Liliha Bakery!  It’s a small puffed pastry filled with a creamy chocolate pudding and topped with a thick, semi-hard, vanilla and coconut frosting. It's like an eclair and melts in your mouth.  I think the secret, though, is that the vanilla custard on top is a little salty, so you don't get the overly sweet richness of some desserts.  Soooo gooood....
