Nirvana Day Service

Today was the Nirvana Day Service at the Kohala Jodo Mission; we also offered prayers for Susan's brother Jerry who passed away in early February. As usual, it was followed by a potluck; I brought an assortment of things from Motek Bakery. I got a mix of savory & sweet. 

(clockwise from upper L) orange sticky bun, cinnamon swirl, cardamom knot, cream cheese blueberry danish, blueberry turnover, & scones.

(Clockwise from upper L) pear honey scone, brownie, linzertort, & banana spelt bread.

Sauce for bourekas (L) & spinach feta bourekas (savory).

Pumpkin soup (savory).

Others brought things as well; Arlene brought a soursop from their house. It was a little too tart for me at its current stage. I like mine a little sweeter & softer; placed in the freezer for a couple of days & it is like a sorbet.

Arlene cuts open the soursop.

The Motek breakfast special today was shakshuka, which I had for dinner. They have started putting up some labels for the pastries. Here are the ones that were out today.

I got an email from Immi this morning saying my order was out for delivery ... on a Sunday. This is quite odd since it should just be sitting at the post office waiting for me because there is no home delivery in this part of the island.

I don't know why it is saying it left the post office.

And Lowe's is again telling me I need to pick up the heater on the 19th. I wonder why they don't update the system to show that it will be picked up on the 20th? It's quite annoying.

 

Here's the answer to yesterday's question on whether you could figure out where the test patch was for the brown paint that Bill mixed up for me for the exterior door of ka Lumi Pōpoki.  

The Kīlauea eruption is still on pause.

Hauʻoli lā Hānau e Liz!
