'Ono

'Ono. Delicious, tasty, savory

"Laulau is a Native Hawaiian cuisine dish. The traditional preparation consisted of pork wrapped in taro or luau leaf. In old Hawaii laulau was assembled by taking a few luau leaves and placing a few pieces of fish and pork in the center." Wikipedia

Some Hawaiian words find the place inside your na'au your guts and play the chords like tricky music, and memories of past living you continue to love harmonize with glimpses of a potent future. 'Ono is one of those words. Christopher hunts, and he makes laulau ... wrapped his garlic-powerful laulau made with one of his piggy, pieces of fish, luau leaf in ti leaves. The evidence of both talents -- hunting and cooking-- and the word for it? That's what Pete's talk'n about.

IN THE DAYTIME: Walking the .25 mile loop trail at South Whidbey State Park. 'Ono.

IN THE NIGHT-TIME: Playing music, hanging out in the kitchen. 'Ono.

P.S. You gotta remember that leading glottal stop ... the ' ... the 'okina ... or what? Or you would be talking about an ono, a large mackerel type fish, to five or six feet in length. Tricky. Oh so very tricky!!

"Storytellers ought not to be too tame. They ought to be wild creatures who function adequately in society. They are best in disguise. If they lose all their wildness, they cannot give us the truest joys."
