Chris and I drove to Costco to pick up party supplies. On the way, we saw a surfer riding a scooter. His surfboard was strapped to the side of the scooter, and a small, white dog rode in a towel-lined basket behind his seat. I can't remember what we did for lunch. Maybe this was the day Chris made turkey burgers? Nate cooked dinner for all of us—me, Jen, Chris, and Chris's family: pocket bread, Lebanese meat pie, salad. In the late evening, Nate and I ran out to bring home a box of Leonard's (808-737-5591, 933 Kapahulu Ave, Honolulu, Hawaii) malasadas, delicious, hot, sugar-coated doughnutholesque pastries. I had had Leonard's malassadas (alternate spelling) on my last trip—they are divine. For serving, Nate pulled out beautiful Williams Sonoma plates they had received as a gift from Tina.
