My cousins own this amazing time-share condo in Makaha on Oahu. Practically private white pristine beaches buzzing with happy sea life. Josh and I watched turtles. Frolicked in the waves with the boys. Then made everyone tacos.

also from their place. the rock jutting out was where Josh and I perched. A bunch of volcanic rock.
all the taco ish. We went to the grocery store down the street and I stocked up. I figured beef would be the safest bet. I have a beef-loving family, and I'm sure the bachelors preferred it also. They bought me booze. The only thing I couldn't find was cilantro.
Josh and a boy made me a drink (I wasn't paying attention to which one....might have been Evan...I think it was guava juice and vodka) , and Tim and Aaron and Stacy diligently and sweetly helped me chop veggies and smash avocados. Poor Tim got the onion.
Taco set-up was fajita veggies I sauteed in olive oil (red bells and red onions); garlic jalapeno aioli (nice word for creamy mayonnaise sauce); corn tortillas; zee famous guacamole (avocados, lime juice, red onion, tomato, jalapeno, salt, pepper, and a heaping splash of salsa verde); salsa verde; cheeses; marinated garlic lime flank steak; iceberg lettuce; tomato...uhhh...Josh put ketchup out. I gasped. He said he would put ketchup on a hundred dollar steak though...and that he has done it before...haha so whatever. I think that was the whole spread...oh, and sour cream. The only things I really had to cook and prepare for this were the guacamole, beef, fajita veg and aioli.
this would be the meat. I sucked at taking pictures for this.
guacamole!
