The evening after Andy and Sugi’s wedding, the newlyweds were off at a family dinner so Tawn and I invited Andy W and Kenny over to our condo for dinner. Sugi’s family had sent us home the night before with a pair of very ripe Maui Gold pineapples, so Tawn offered to make pineapple fried rice.
Chef Tawn busy in the kitchen. We had to buy a few items such as the raisins, the pack of which I carried with me back to Kansas City to leave with my sister’s family, since the friend we’re staying with in San Francisco doesn’t like raisins.
Dinner started with a fresh mango and pineapple smoothie. Healthy treat to whet the appetite.
Filling the hollowed-out pineapple with the fried rice. The top shell is placed over the rice and then it is baked in the over until fragrant.
A short video of Tawn removing the top of the pineapple!
The finished product! It was really tasty.
For dessert: green tea ice cream.

Nice presentation!! I bet it must be really tasty!! 😛
Wow — that looks delicious — does Tawn share recipes?
“omg are you serious?” hahaha… I love the reaction. Although if you had pointed the camera at me, I would have just jumped over the balcony. I noticed the condo came with a rice cooker! Awesome!
LOL i love the video!!! kenny is hilarious. tawn was so cute, he was all excited to reveal the fried rice! looks so fresh and yum!
It looks so yummmy! I could definitely finish two of those hollowed-outs. Hehe 😀
Looks super yummy! But wait, was I gone that long? I didn’t know Andy and Sugi got married already. 🙂
YUM. i thought you’re the only cook at home, chris. i have always wondered if tawn would mind taking over the kitchen once in a while.
Excellent presentation. Cute Chef too. Sounds like a very healthy meal.
My mouth watered looking at that! MMMmm!
Looks super tasty.
Very, very nice. Well done, fine banquet.
The video made me laugh! Tawn’s dinner looks delicious and now I’m pining for some pineapple!
So, Tawn cooks too? Cool.

That’s the question! Ha ha!@ElusiveWords – And a large rice cooker, at that!@Ikwa – Thanks for the mini!@rudyhou – He does cook from time to time.
