Celebrity Chef Alan Wong from Hawaii will be at Akiyama Wellness Center on Wednesday for his "Taste of Hawai'i" tour. There will be cooking demos, tastings from his new cookbook and book signing. From what is in the kitchen now it's going to be super good. Tonight was the prepping of the rooms and kitchen. I had Annie with me so she entertained the chefs and their staff. I have one exhausted puppy at my desk right now. It was a very good day for Annie. Almost non stop tennis ball throwing and stick toss.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
