I finally was able to cook with my best friend, my cooking partner, Denise. It has been a long time since we have been able to cook together. So this has been the highlight of my time here on the Big Island of Hawaii. Denise lived in the downstairs apartment and me upstairs, our men with us too. Our guys were often the inspiration of our cooking. And a few months a go she had to move back to her family in Hawaii to get the care she desperately needed. It was so hard to see her go, so empty without them. In fact it is still empty downstairs. Ulu is breadfruit, is kinda like a potato in flavor and texture but in no way looks. The breadfruit had already been cooked and sliced, some of it even fried. We cubed it up, added a bit of mayo, sesame oil, and a few other items I didn't see. Some grated carrot, green onion, red onion and what else?
D hasn't been cooking for a while, not by choice, but rather had to focus on her health and her energy wasn't there for her to cook. So when she started to get this Ulu salad together it was bliss it was a good surprise.
A few days later we got some good news, we are not out of the woods but it is definitely a big step in the right direction.
All I can say is be healthy, eat healthy and make happy.
