NACHOS with Flat Rose at Ko'Olina


FOOD FOR THOUGHT

My daily #AtoZ posts combine two concepts in under-300-words per day:
an appealing food choice along with thoughts that spring to mind.

Relaxing after a 5-day writers conference requires more than a comfortable chair on the lanai. In our case, we opted for the 'Olelo Room of the Aulani Hotel in Ko'olina on the leeward side of O'ahu. Listening to Jerry Santos and Kamuela Kimokeo sing and play their renditions of traditional Hawaiian music was paradise found.

Accompanying me was a visitor from Minnesota, Flat Rose. Each year the children at Kaleidoscope Charter School in Otsego, MN send out their Flat Stanley dolls. Teachers' instructions are attached for the lucky recipients to follow: visit local scenes and venues, take photos, write a short blurb of your travels, then send everything back to the school for the children to enjoy.

The food spread on the table in front of Flat Rose included the resort's unique version of Nachos. Here is a description from the menu:

Loaded Nachos Kālua Pork,
Taro Chips,
Fire-roasted Pineapple Salsa,
Poi Sour Cream
