Sailor Blue's Birthday

We were at Murphy's Bar and Grill last night to celebrate Jerry Boster's Birthday with his wife, Janice.

He had a successful bid at a fundraising auction for a catered event by Don and Marian Murphy.

We were surprised by the food that was served. It was a menu that was filled with items that I had never seen on their regular menu.

Salmon served on a bed of watercress. Very moist and tender.

Barbeque Chicken Thighs, Baby Bok Choy, and Corn.

The star item was this suckling pig that Don Murphy brought out himself. The presentation was terrific with all of the meat having been shredded and laid in front of the hollowed out shell of the carcass. The flash prevents seeing the transluscence of the skin from showing up but it was masterful.

And the snout was shortly gobbled up.

That was Robin Gomes (addahknowjoe) who presented Jerry with a poster that he created in his graphics shop. Our own Captain America!

The surprise entertainment for the evening was the result of another successful bid at the same fundraising event for Japan Tsunami Relief.

It was a performance by Hoku-award winner Mailani Makainai!

What a treat!

Of course, Marian Murphy is the consummate hostess as always.

It was a terrific evening and we were glad that we were fortunate to have shared it with Jerry and Janice.
