Cooking Class

Today we went to Uwajima and held a cooking class for a few people.  I think they had wanted more people to come, but it ended up being more than enough work to have just a few people and it was a lot of fun.  We planned on making leche flan, SPAM musubi, hurrican popcorn, chinese fried noodles, and finally a Korean-style shaved ice.

It didnʻt start out well (we couldnʻt turn the sugar into caramel) but these things simply cannot be helped.  The fun thing about today was teaching people how to make musubi...I think because, somehow, they all suddenly became very Hawaii.  They couldnʻt help themselves, and they just kept eating musubi as they were making them! Before we knew it, everyone was full and we were only half way through the class.

Another highlight of the day was seeing a SPAM-cutter which I thought all of Hawaiʻi already had, but apparently I was wrong.  The fascination with the SPAM cutter was definitely one of the highlights of my day.
