Highlights from Diane’s Birthday:

When we were playing an ALL PLAY round of PICTIONARY and the word was “path”, the palangi player drew a path through the woods and the Tongan player drew a shower with soap and water.

When playing PICTIONARY, the word being “handicap”, the Tongan player drew a stick figure and crossed out the forehead and their Tongan teammate immediately knew the word was “handicap”.

The nicknaming of the Tongan food and the palangi food:
Lemon meringue pie = keke koa = soap sud cake, it seems funnier in Tongan
Brownies = keke pelepela = mud cake, ditto
Faikakai from Talafo’ou = Cloggers! (the explanation would gross you out)

The Grub!
Fane’s lu sipi
Lars’ famous brownies
Diane’s sangria
Sophie’s keesh
Maikolo’s lemon meringue pie made especially for Diane
The “this is why we love” papaya from the Talafo’ou crew
Good try on Vanessa’s attempt to re-create the kumala/sweet potato salad from Elaine’s birthday but it wasn’t the same. Will try again.

The birthday wishes to Diane from far away friends:
Elaine & Fatai, Randi & Filo and Martin

When auntie Fane offered her 8 year old niece a cup of sangria and instructed her niece not to tell her mom and to get ready to get drunk.

Ahhh George bringing back memories of the old days…
George asking Nesa afterwards for a cup of coffee especially made for herself when Nesa doesn’t drink coffee.
George watching two movies back to back (the second one by himself) after everyone left and during the second movie falling asleep sitting up on a kitchen chair in the middle of the room.
