Today we relax most of the day at the house. Dev was recovering and I was trying to organize my clothes/junk. Around mid-day I go with Uncle David to Sam's club to pick up some groceries and he has to get some things as well. Later that night, Dev and I were going to Grandma Tsugai's house to have dinner with Auntie Sandie and Uncle Larry. So, I wanted to get groceries to make tofu salad and sticky lap chung rice. I actually never been in a Sam's club before, so it was a new experience for me. It's basically like Costco, but they have a few different things.

After spending about an hour + there we head back to the house and I start cooking. The sticky rice takes over an hour because you have to soak the mochi rice for an hour before you cook it. It was nice to start cooking again and having Auntie Jojo help me.

Dinner was at 6:30, so after showering, we pack up the car and head over to grandma's house. I'll soon be moving in there, so Auntie Sandie wanted to have dinner and chat before I move in. Auntie Sandie, Uncle Larry, Auntie Caroyln, Grandma, Bo, their niece Tricia and her bf were all there. There was a ton of food...sadly I forgot to take a picture! :( It was a nice night of eating, talking and being surrounded by good people. Yay to another good night in Hawaii.
