Note from Aunt Helen; My cousin Louise hosted a Luau Dinner Party and we made this rice recipe. If you are ever planning a Luau, this is a dish that you should make.
I love Hawaii, and reading this recipe reminds me of hanging in the hammock in Kauai in June of this year, oh the breeze blowing, the ocean air…ahhhhh
