We celebrated Sean's birthday by
throwing a Luau Party and inviting more than twenty people over.
Cheech had a blast decorating and Alec loved 'helping'. (In his own
special way, of course.) Friends came and helped before the party
started, making Cheech's life a whole lot better. We had 2 giant
grilled fish, dinosaur bones (giant beef spare ribs), chicken wings,
and plenty of Hawaiian style veggies for our vegetarian friends.
Astuti our nanny also made the yummiest yellow rice we have ever had.
Yellow rice is an Indonesian traditional birthday food. In Bahasa it
is called nasi tumpeng or yellow cone rice and is wrapped with
banana leaves. This delicious rice is cooked with lemon grass,
coconut milk, turmeric, ginger and other tropical spices. We, of
course, didn't tell people this. We just pretended that is was
Hawaiian style!
