Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive June 2004: Having a Luau
Maybe this should be in the recipe section, but i'm not sure how often people look there.
yummy, no suggestions, but it sounds like fun. I think I may have to have one.
Serve some fresh pineapple, make some smoothies to drink, and you could make some chicken kabobs. Take some boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut them into cubed pieces put on a skewer stick and soak in Dale's sauce for a couple of hours and then place them on the grill, these are so good.
For an appetizer: Ritz Crackers, a little cream cheese on top, and a chunk of pineapple. You can make variations of this with different fruits/veggies, or flavored cream cheese.
I made this for a party the a few months ago...very good and easy too.
This isn't really tropical, but I made it for the same party and people just raved about it.

If drying in the oven, set oven to 175 degrees. Place meat on a rack such as a cake cooking rack. Place rack on a cookie sheet and dry meat in oven for 7 hours. Keep in refrigerator. 1 lb ground pork 1/3 cup finely chopped water chestnuts 2 whole green onions finely chopped 1 Tbsp soy sauce 1/2 tsp salt 1/8 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp minced fresh ginger 1 egg 1 pkg won ton wrappers salad oil for frying Mix all ingredients except egg in a bowl.

Thanks girls, keep 'em coming! I think I might make the Pina Colada Punch w/out alcohol. I have a few pregnant friends that are coming. This will give them something fun an non-alcoholic to drink.
This is a fantastic marinade for shrimp if you just want to serve cold shrimp in a bowl.
