Aloha,

Thanks so much to all of you who came out and joined us at the Friday’s Farmer’s Market. Julia’s Ono Hawaiian Coconut Bars were a smashing hit.

Here’s a short list of some of the Hawaiian goodies you’ll be able to enjoy when you come out this Friday:

Our Most Popular Kalua Pig
Ed’s Famous Teriyaki Chicken
Sesame Ginger Dressing Asian Salad
Grilled Brown Sugar Cinnamon Ginger Glazed Pineapple Spears
Hawaiian Mac Salad
Julia’s Ono (Yummy) Hawaiian Coconut Bars
and much, much, more…

Join us this Friday at: The Broadway Village, 2929 E Broadway Blvd., from 10am to 2pm.

And Hau’oli Makahiki Hou (Happy New Year) again.

Last October my husband and I “survived” our first Zombie Walk (see photos here). I still have nightmares about some of those “undead” people trying to bother me.

On August 25 zombies are taking over Mama’s Hawaiian BBQ (both locations, one in Tucson at 850 E. Speedway Blvd, and the other at 15990 S. Rancho Sahuarita Blvd.,Rancho Sahuarita, AZ). 20% of the proceeds go to help Zombie Walk but don’t forget to moan “Tucson Zombie Walk” when you order the Hawaiian food. Note the times for this offer: 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. (yes, they stay open into the wee witching hours past midnight at the Tucson location!)

As a local Hawaiian I’ve eaten at Mama’s a few times and have enjoyed the Kal-bi ribs, Mahi Mahi, fresh salad with Oriental dressing, etc. Their Big Kahuna Plate (beef teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, kalua pork, 2 scoops rice & mac salad) is some “ono” (delicious in Hawaiian) and plentiful. Just like we like ‘em back home from the lunch wagons.

The zombies are coming this fall. Mark your calendars now for Saturday the 13th of October, when the 7th Annual Zombie Walk takes place along with 2nd Saturday Downtown, 6 to 10:30 p.m. More info at their website:
www.tucsonzombies.com. The theme this year is “The End of the World: How do we go out?”

Sounds pretty scary to me.

One of my previous blogs on the fundraising efforts (click here). Please kokua (help).
