"Kaukau" is a pidgin slang word meaning "food" or "to eat." The Hawaiian term for food is `ai. The two theories on the origin of the word "kaukau" are the Hawaiian word for table, pâkaukau, and the Chinese word for food, chow chow. In Hawaii we say "We go kaukau!", I would say, "I hungry I like kaukau!" or "Let's kaukau!" The Cuisine of Hawaii is a fusion of foods brought by immigrants to the Hawaiian Islands, particularly of Portuguese, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Polynesian etc.

A Lazy and Restful Weekend
This weekend I was just too lazy to cook. So I made my wife's favorite Filipino Spaghetti again which was real fast to prepare. The whole weekend she's been having that and also Pork and Baby Bok Choy Soup while studying and doing her homework for school. My wife Aurora started her night classes at Heald College the past week. She's majoring in Accounting. As for me I've been eating my low-carb red grape cheese quesadillas on wheat tortillas and green papaya salad, hardboiled eggs, and pork rinds. Sorry no pictures of the soup and quesadillas this time.
