TofuJoe and I are giving all our out-of-town Ohana a little extra incentive to come up to the Forbidden Island Parking Lot Sale (on Sunday Sept. 23) by hosting a party at Lund Manor on Saturday Sept. 22, starting at 11am. Come up early and make a whole weekend out of it!! We'll have an evite up soon. PM if you'd like to be included. Here are photos of the fin time we had earlier this year at TikiBocce(tm) II. Mahalo! ~T

Thayer and I will be sharing a table at FI!!! Maybe this year I can find a partner for the big bocce tournament. :wink: Anyone else staying in Alameda for the weekend? After spending a night at the Days Inn in June (okay place but not great), we decided to try another inn in Alameda, and opted for a view and a little more plushness. Hopefully I will make lots of money at the Parking Lot sale so I can cover my expenses!! See you soon, Thayer and Scott!! Myke

H Haole'akamai Member The Polynesian Port of NOLA Joined: Jul 07, 2005 Posts: 2276	H Haole'akamai Posted posted on Wed, Sep 19, 2007 4:23 PM So, I was thinking if anyone wanted to preview the vintage clothes I have for the FI Parking Lot sale, they can check them out whilst at Lund Manor. Just ask about 'em. :) Mahalo!

M midnite Member 37? 47' N, 122? 26' W Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 1230	M midnite Posted posted on Fri, Sep 21, 2007 7:43 PM Throughout our shared history of sports competition there are teams of legend. Powerful, dominating, awe-inspiring assemblages of talent and skill. Teams so overwhelming and successful they make up the fabric of sporting lore. These teams live on in the pantheon of athletic glory like no others: 1927 New York Yankees 1995 Chicago Bulls 1984 USA Basketball 1972 Miami Dolphins And now, a new team knocks on the door of immortality. Two seasoned warriors have joined together and formed a powerhouse duo of bombastic bocce brilliance. They will take on all comers and spare none in a no-holds barred display of rolling expertise. Mai Tai and midnite are: Team Quicksand Served! midnite

M midnite Member 37? 47' N, 122? 26' W Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 1230	M midnite Posted posted on Sun, Sep 23, 2007 11:24 PM Good times, good times. Fine food, swell company, and excellent beverages. Hinky Drinks knows how to pour some superb libations. In a stunning upset, Team Quicksand was defeated in the finals by a band of heretofore unknown bocce players. In a suspense-filled, slightly damp, raucous exposition of clutch bocce rolls, those fine reasonably young cannibals took down the mighty Q, 5-4. Once again, the Quicksand boys are relegated to bridesmaid status. This keeps up and Avis will be our new sponsor. We'll be back, bigger...stronger...better medicated. No one puts Quicksand in the corner! midnite

MA Mr. Aloha Member Joined: Nov 10, 2006 Posts: 76	MA Mr. Aloha Posted posted on Tue, Sep 25, 2007 8:46 PM Mahalo to Hinky Drinks!!!! I am still in awe of the amazing set up of that backyard. It's the best backyard I have ever seen in Oakland. Great drinks, delicious food, super-friendly people, and BOCCE!!!! Oh I almost forgot, Tom Jones over the speakers and other cool tunes. I too have to agree with Midnite that the bocce playing by the Cannibals was for want of a better term, unbelievable. I still don't believe that the Cannibals won and I'm one of them. I should mention that great sportsmanship during the games as well as after was demonstrated by Team Quicksand and the other teams. The bottomline...it was a lot of fun. Brian (still in search of a cool tiki name)

It must have been the magic of the Voodoo Priestess and beginners luck that lead to the surprising upset! I just want to add my appreciation and thanks to our wonderful hosts for sharing their amazing backyard and yummy libations. I had a great time and loved meeting you all. Are/will recipes be available for the homemade liquer? And any other food/drink recipes? I've already got the Voodoo Priestess from SF gate http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/10/27/WIG3TLV2J11.DTL&hw=voodoo+priestess&sn=002&sc=902 Ironically, I had just looked it up week or two before the party, the cold weather reminded me of it from last year's FI drink specials, I'd bought the ingredients, but hadn't gotten around to making it. In case anyone wants it, here's the recipe for the Black Bean Corn salad I made (I doubled the recipe for the party) Black Bean & Corn Salad 3 cups black beans (or 2 15-ounce cans black beans, rinsed & drained) 1 15-ounce bag or can of yellow corn (or 2-3 ears) ( if frozen defrost or cook the corn) 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1/2 cup salsa verde Put everything in a bowl and stir. Add more salsa verde as needed. [ Edited by: Sgirl 2007-09-29 13:01 ]
