DARIN MORIKI TGIFR!DAY

I

t is no secret that May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii, as the well-known phrase by late writer Grace Tower Warren goes. It is a time of year when events are held statewide to showcase the art of lei-making and keiki, and their families, gather at their schools for a day singing and dancing to honor the state’s storied past. For the past seven years, it has also been a time for Malie Foundation members, and their supporters, to give back to the island and raise money for the organization’s scholarship fund through their annual Na Lei Hiwahiwa concert. “I believe that this is important not only for our foundation, but we work for our community and the Hawaiian culture to keep it alive,� Malie Foundation Festival Director Maka Herrod said. “Our mission is to promote, preserve and educate people in our community and our visitors as well. What’s important to us is to keep it real and follow what our kupuna have left for us to continue the work.� The Na Lei Hiwahiwa tradition will continue tonight as several local musicians, singers and performers take the stage at the Kauai Beach Resort’s Jasmine Room. Among the groups scheduled to perform

are The Triple T’s from Niihau and Kuini, an award-winning music group consisting of Kapulanakehau Tamure, Keli Mahealani Viernes and Iwalani Hoomanawanuiikanaauao Apo. “They were so successful last year that we brought them forward again this year,� Marketing Director Carol Bain said. “They started out with Hawaiian spiritual music and then they brought it forward and made it more contemporary.� And the scholarship money raised from the event, Herrod said, goes to good causes in the community. During the last year alone, the organization’s Malie Scholarship — first created in 1987 to send children to Punana Leo Preschool — awarded two $500 scholarships to Kawaikini New Century Public Charter School. On Friday, the Malie Foundation will present another $500 scholarship to the Ka Hale Pono, an Anahola-based nonprofit that provides educational opportunities for young children. Tickets are $30 for adults at the door and $5 for children between 6 and 17 years old. For more information and to purchase tickets, call Iwa Dawbarn at 652-4497 or visit the Malie Foundation website at www.maliefoundation.org.

rothers Paco and Tony Aguilar recently added to their business. In February 2011, they operated a food truck in the Kilauea Crossing shopping mall. Shortly after, they added another one in Kapaa. The Aguilars recently started selling bottles of Paco’s Tacos seasoning salt at the ACE Hardware in Lihue and this

past Valentine’s Day, they opened a restaurant in Kapaa. Paco’s Tacos House sits on the corner of Nui Street and Kuhio Highway, near Bank of Hawaii. Inside, Paco, the man behind the food, cooks Mexican specialties along with Americanized favorites. Family photographs line the back wall and include the brother’s

Tony and Paco Aguilar in front of Paco’s Tacos House in Kapaa. Zihuatanejo,” says Tony of his early years in the Mexican Riviera. “When we saw soursop here, we decided to use it.” Tony tells me agua fresca means refreshing beverage in Mexico and since he and Paco opened Paco’s Tacos House, they’ve made sweet, refreshing beverages with tamarind, watermelon, cantaloupe and hibiscus, also known as roselle. Breakfast is available all day long and the lengthy menu includes Paco Loco ($9.25) with smothered fried eggs. One egg is covered in housemade chili verde and the other is covered in chili Colorado. In between are

housemade rice and beans. Housemade chorizo is served with Huevos con Chorizo ($8.25) and Chilaquiles con Huevo ($8.25) is served with tortilla chips made to order and a tangy green sauce with nopalitos, the edible young paddles of the prickly pear cactus. The brothers Aguilar also own Rocco’s Pizza in Lihue. Since the pizzas are freshly made everyday, Paco started playing with the dough. He created the buns for the Tortas ($9.75), which are filling Mexican sandwiches loaded with your choice of seven types of meat, beans, cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo

and guacamole that’s made from local avocados. Twelve burrito fillings range from bean and cheese to chili relleno and fish, shrimp or steak to carnitas, chicken or veggie. Whatever you choose, you can have it plain, enchilada style with a red sauce and sour cream ($2.25 extra), smothered with pork chili verde ($2.25), or chimichanga ($2.75); where your burrito is fried and served with guacamole, lettuce, sour cream and pico de gallo. Every first Saturday of the month, Kapaa Town hosts Art Walk. Paco’s Tacos House always turns it into a party and tomorrow will be no different. The brothers cover the front

parking lot with a dance floor and DJs Alben Rivera and DJ Flack spin Latin music. The night starts at 5 p.m. with a tango dance group. Monday, May 5 is Cinco de Mayo, a day that commemorates the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. The brothers will give away free pupus of fresh ceviche and sell authentic Mexican specialties.

Menudo ($12) is Mexico’s most famous hangover cure. The labor-intensive soup, consisting of beef tripe floating in a spicy, garlicky broth, is served with tortillas, cilantro, onions and lime. Paco’s Birria de Res is beef braised with chilies, oregano, onions and garlic and served with corn tortillas, fresh onions, limes, salsa and cilantro. Paco will also make posole, a chunky soup made with hominy, pork, that’s served with tortilla chips,

shredded cabbage, onions, lime and cilantro. If you’re super hungry, try El Molcajete ($28). If not, share it with a friend. The massive dish comes in a granite mortar, known as a molcajete in Mexico. The heavy bowl is heated and filled with strips of chicken breast and steak, piles of soft, crusty carnitas and curls of sautéed shrimp. It’s drenched in a zesty green sauce made with tomatillos and nopalitas and garnished with a whole, roasted jalapeno. Flour tortillas, housemade refried beans, Spanish rice, guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo are served on the side. Whether it’s for Art Walk, Cinco de Mayo, or just because you’re hungry, bring your own beverages to Paco’s Tacos House. If you’re anything like me, ice cold beer paired with tasty Mexican food is a match made in heaven.

D

eep into “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” my 11-year-old companion was confused about a certain plot point — justifiably, I’d say — and demanded an immediate and thorough explanation. “Shh, not now. Later!” I hissed. Because, though I didn’t admit it, I really didn’t want to miss an Andrew Garfield-Emma Stone kiss. And who knew when the next one was coming? With great chemistry, you see, comes great kissing. Let’s just say this unequivocally: Whether or not my young Spidey fan would agree, the best thing about the “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” the second installment of director Marc Webb’s series reboot, is that infectious chemistry between Garfield and Stone. In fact, given that this overstuffed, overly long film is a sequel to a sequel, and that it spends a gazillion dollars retelling a story (in 3-D and IMAX) that the world already knows, you could argue that the Garfield-Stone dynamic is the real justification for the whole enterprise. This isn’t just because the two happen to be real-life partners — though it can’t hurt. Garfield is a sensitive actor who brings a quirky blend of intelligence and goofiness to Peter Parker, and a welcome hipster edge to the role that the wideeyed Tobey Maguire didn’t have in the earlier incarnation of the Marvel character. As for Stone, she’s just so darned charming. And though it’s again a stretch to imagine her as a high school student, heck, we’ll take it. (In fact, Stone is 25 and Garfield is 30, so we’re just gonna have to give them a pass on this. At least they get their diplomas this time.) Another winning presence is that of Sally Field, touching as the now-widowed Aunt May. The reliable Field gets one terrifically emotional scene with Peter that may have you reaching for

6SLGH\ a tissue. As for the plot, though, that may have you reaching for a notepad. There are not one, not two, but three villains (at least!) here, and all sorts of backstories — something for everyone, which means too much. The most important backstory involves Peter’s parents, and what really happened to them once they abandoned him as a tot (hint: it involves a very fast-paced plane ride). Back on terra firma, we start with an even faster-paced urban chase involving Spider-Man, a hammy, Russian-accented Paul Giamatti, and some plutonium, distracting Peter/Spidey from Gwen, who’s anxiously awaiting Peter’s arrival at their graduation. Peter does arrive, miraculously, but we quickly learn that the key obstacle to their relationship remains in place: Peter’s fear of putting Gwen in harm’s way. Haunted, Peter just can’t commit (they always have an excuse, right?) Not surprisingly, Gwen gets very charmingly annoyed, and kinda sorta breaks up with him. But these two can’t stay apart for long. Meanwhile, there are big goings-on at Oscorp, that huge bioengineering corporation headed by Norman Osborn. With Norman on his deathbed, son Harry (Dane DeHaan) Peter’s old buddy, returns from boarding school. The pale, wiry DeHaan is entertainingly creepy as he descends into desperation. Then there’s the unappreciated Oscorp employee Max Dillon (Jamie Foxx). When he falls into a vat of mutant electric eels (OSHA would have a field day at Oscorp), he morphs into Electro, a glowing monster who can manipulate electricity and suck the power from a whole city (Foxx is more convincing as the villain than the self-effacing scientist).
