KISS ready for Sunday

T

here isn’t much that Melissa Mojo would rather do than sing and listen to music.

So, in late 2012, Mojo and Mary MacDermott founded Kauai Island Singers Showcase. “The whole purpose of it is to provide singers with regular performance opportunities with live accompaniment,� Mojo said. “The thing about KISS is that it’s singer-supported. We pay the singers to pay the musicians — and they’re professional musicians — and it’s free to the audience.�

For the past two years, the group conducted regular performances at Wit’s End in Coconut MarketPlace.

But when the Wailua shopping center began renovations, the organization moved out earlier this year, and the search for a new performance venue began for KISS. Since then, the group has performed at Ohana Sports Bar and will make another appearance at 2 p.m. Sunday in Mahiko Lounge at Gaylord’s Restaurant in Lihue. “It has really been a wonderful experience because we’ve become sort of like a family, who support each other,� Mojo said. “Everybody is different and it’s a very eclectic mix of voices — people bond and it all works together.�

The Sunday performance will feature pianist Hank Curtis, percussionist Cary Valentine, and KISS singers Dhyana Dunville; Diana Leone; Barbara Pendragon; Erik Hagen; S. Kamal Salibi; Mike Kobayashi; Fran Nestel; and Trishana Star.

Each one of the eight to 10 singers who participate in each performance,, sing two songs — one up-tempo song and a ballad or two up-tempo ones — that fit into a specific theme. “We try to pick a theme that everybody

Dhyana Dunville

can find a song that people can relate to,�

Mojo said. “It’s really for people to develop their repertoire and to practice performing in front of live audiences.�

The theme for Sunday’s performance is “Island Rhythms and Songs of the New Millennium,� featuring island and tropical genre songs, as well as selected pieces from modern artists, including Adele, Amy Winehouse and Billy Ray Cyrus. “It’s a great learning experience for this island, because with the theme, you have to find a song that works in your range,� Mojo said. “There are several genres that I have never sung, and I basically just focused in on substance. I’m getting into blues, jazz, songs that were written in the 1950s during the Beat Generation. I’m going places that I never thought I would.�

For more information, contact Mojo at 822-0545.

A food lover’s paradise PHOTOS BY DANIEL LANE

MARTA LANE

TASTE OF KAUAI

S

ince 2010, Living Foods Gourmet Market & Cafe has been a food lover’s paradise.

But early this spring, Jim Moffat sold the establishment to Jeff Sacchini, founder of The Kauai Marathon, and his brother-in-law Howard Warner. The new owners are Poipu residents who have made subtle enhancements.

The staff remains intact, a new point of purchase system has been installed and there are instore samples. Employee training emphasizes exceptional service and soon, streamlined menu signs will be installed.

Located in The Shops at Kukuiula, the cafe stands rustically fresh: Tropical landscaping surrounds white wood beams, a-frame eaves stained deep green and a wide lanai shaded by lattice.

As electric doors quietly open, the smell of fresh baked bread fills the air.

Fruit tarts, scones and cookies line bakery trays. Fresh fruit is blended

into smoothies as espressos are pulled. Pizza bubbles in a Wood Stone oven, paninis are pressed into crisp, warm sandwiches and gluten-free crepes sizzle on a griddle. Pork belly and whole chickens turn on the rotisserie, their juices sputtering and basting the flesh into succulence.

It’s easy to get lost in the air-conditioned store, perusing aisles for gourmet pantry items.

Seventy types of fresh cheese are stacked alongside exotic homemade sauces, condiments, bread pudding and little olives marinated in a house blend of roasted garlic, orange zest, chili flakes and fennel seeds. Hawaii

grown coffee is roasted onsite and sold as bags of whole beans or hot cups of coffee. More than 300 bottles of wine and 20 types beer are offered.

About 30 varieties of fresh made salads are weighed by the pound and tucked into take-home containers. Cazuelas, traditional Spanish cookware, are filled with fresh Kauai Shrimp and Kauai Clams and stacked next to trays piled with glistening Hawaiian fish, pork chops, chicken breasts and house-made sausages.

In the bustling kitchen, executive chef Michael Simpson and his sous chef Justin Kai work with four culinary trained chefs.

Cooling trays are stacked with an assortment of European-style baguettes and loaves of cranberry walnut or olive bread. Kai stuffs Italian, chorizo or merguez (North African spicy lamb) fillings into casings and twists off sausages.

As he parboils chicken sausage studded with raisins, he tells me it’s a recipe Moffat taught him when the gourmet grocery store first opened.

A plethora of sauces and condiments are diced, blended, reduced or whisked. The choices are a jungle gym for the imagination. Banderillas, a sweet, spicy and earthy red sauce works well with sturdy flavors such as seared steak or grilled ahi. Salsa verde, with chunks of egg whites, capers, cornichons, onion, herbs and garlic, is delicious on chicken sausage, over steamed rice and beans, or fried eggs with toast.

My mother is from Barcelona, Spain. As a child, my family would visit her relatives during summer vacations. Living Foods’ romesco sauce, with its sherry vinegar tang, reminds me of my aunt’s version. Only it’s spicy from hot paprika and is made with almonds instead of hazelnuts. For me, it’s all about the romesco, so I don’t care what the delivery system is, but fried potatoes and roasted meat are my family’s favorites.

Above: Shoppers can buy local produce, house-made sauces, hot meals or fresh fish and meat.

Right: Lena Chang serves up a smoothie.

I learned how to make aioli from my aunt, who pounded sea salt and garlic in a mortar with a pestle, added egg yolks and a thin stream of olive oil until it turned into a thick garlic mayonnaise. It’s good exercise for your arms, and at 67 she made it look easy. Living Foods saves you from the workout and their version contains lemon juice. Aioli is great over just about anything including steamed vegetables, paella, seared white fish, seafood or grilled lamb chops.

I could go on about this fantasyland for people who love high-quality food, but I need to tell you about the grand re-opening celebration on Wednesday, July 23. The

blessing begins at 2:30 p.m. and the in-store celebration is from 3 to 5 p.m. There will be live music and samples including fresh baked bread, sauces, sausages and poke.

Samples of locally grown tropical fruit include Hole in the Mountain Farm sugarloaf pineapple, sunrise papaya and passion fruit.

Living Foods Gourmet Market & Cafe is open daily, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. They can be reached at 742-2323.

REVIEW ASSOCIATED PRESS JAKE COYLE

‘Sex Tape’ an X-rated tale with a PG plot

T

he high-concept comedies spawned by “The 40-YearOld Virgin” need to start using birth control.

Judd Apatow’s landmark film rightfully ushered in a new era in comedy, but it has also inspired a now sizable cottage industry of thin movies (“The Hangover,” ‘’The Five-Year Engagement,” ‘’Bad Teacher,” ‘’Horrible Bosses,” ‘’The Other Woman”) with concepts boasting good titles but shallow stories.

Of these, only one (“The Five-Year Engagement”) had Apatow’s imprimatur. He and his cohorts have mostly moved on to telling stories about various seminal chapters of life — child birth (“Knocked Up”), high-school graduation (“Superbad”), young parenthood (“Neighbors”), 30s singledom (“Bridesmaids”), middle age (“This Is 40”) — and many of these make up some of the best

comedies of the last decade.

“Sex Tape,” however, belongs to the former group and it marks a low point despite coming from several Apatow acolytes. It’s directed by Jake Kasdan, a consulting producer on “Freaks and Geeks” who went on to direct “Bad Teacher.” ‘’Sex Tape” reteams that film’s lead duo, Jason Segel (a near constant in Apatow-land) and Cameron Diaz, the always game, wide-smiling muse for what’s now been several generations of comedy.

A screwball that takes its genre literally, “Sex Tape” is about a West L.A. married couple, Annie (Diaz) and Jay (Segel), trying to reawaken their love life after years of marriage and two kids. Following failed attempts with double-knotted roller skates and new venues like the kitchen floor (“I can see my to-do list,” says Annie), they

settle on making a porn for themselves that tours through the positions of “The Joy of Sex.” In the first of many outlandish plot twists, Jay hands out his old iPads like party favors at a get-together of friends and family. Hours afterward, an anonymous text makes him realize that each iPad has their video stored on it, due to a syncing app he favors.

The technological premise has already been debunked, but that’s a minor issue for the movie.

While this set-up could have gone somewhere interesting (shouldn’t the video go viral?), the screenplay by Segel, his writer partners Nicholas Stoller (the director of the far superior and somewhat similarly themed “Neighbors”) and Kate Angelo

bizarrely settles for a suburban nighttime odyssey wherein Jay and Annie try to take back the iPads.

This includes a stop at their friends’ house, a similar couple played by Ellie Kemper and Rob Corddry; a visit to Annie’s prospective new boss, a family website CEO who wants to buy her blog (Rob Lowe); and a Los Angeles pornography warehouse (with a memorable uncredited cameo by Jack Black).

In short, it’s a PG plot for an X-rated story. The movie is so desperate for laughs that it resorts to gags like a chasing dog that can open doors and Lowe’s family guru doing cocaine lines with Slayer pounding.

Segel’s gratuitous full-frontal nudity in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” was far funnier and more surprising than anything in “Sex Tape.” He has slimmed down notably, seemingly going

for a more grown-up (and, alas, less funny) screen presence.

To its credit, there’s a lightness to the film and the performers are uniformly likable. When Kemper and Corddry appear (their couple yearns to see the video as their own turn-on), you wish the movie would stick with them and their nervous energy.

“Sex Tape” tries to somehow bridge the gap between the traditional romantic comedy and today’s porn-addled digital world. It’s a valiant effort, and there is something — though only very little — of Cary Grant’s scampering in “Bringing Up Baby” to Segel’s mishaps around the CEO’s mansion. But “Sex Tape” doesn’t sync.

“Sex Tape,” a Columbia Pictures release, is rated R for “strong sexual content, nudity, language and some drug use.”

Running time: 95 minutes.

ilarious, raunchy and irreverent.

That’s how director Maile Speetjens describes Avenue Q, a laugh-out-loud musical which tells the story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment.

“It’s so unique because it combines puppetry with adult themes,” she said. “A Sesame Street-style show that addresses the real life questions we face once we graduate college.”

he lines at the food booth were especially long on Friday night.

“Considering they opened the gates at 6 p.m., the lines were really long,” said Ed Nakaya, helping at the refreshments booth during the bon dance hosted by the Kauai Soto Zen Temple in Hanapepe. “But all the food lines are long.”

Rev. Kosen Ishikawa of the Koloa Jodo Mission, hosting this weekend’s bon dances, said Gerald Hirata, president of the Kauai Soto Zen Temple, worked really hard to draw the crowd of several hundred people to the temple.

“This has got to be one of the biggest bon festivals on the island,” Ishikawa said.

Hirata said the summer bon season has been a fixed part of the island calendar for more than five generations.

During bon, it is said the spirits of the deceased return home to visit families and offerings of food are placed on family altars and gravesites, lanterns, or chochin, light the way so the spirits are able to find their way home, and during the bon dance, the spirits also join in.

galerie 103 offers art, film and inspiration T

he mission of galerie 103 since opened five years ago has been to bring together a broad cross-section of national and international art that reflects the island’s environment past and present.

“The art at galerie 103 knows no boundaries, thereby challenging misconceptions about regionalism and ethnic origin,” said Bruna Stude, the Kukuiula Village gallery owner.

Stude’s fascination with the arts began at an early age.

“I was always interested in art,” Stude said. “My older sister was a ballerina so I grew up around the theater. My mother introduced art in our

lives early on or for as long as I can remember.”

On Saturday, a reception, exhibit and film screening will be held at galerie 103.

“Some of the works selected were previously shown over the five years we’ve been open and I felt they deserved to be shown again — then, there are works I wish I had shown but they did not make it in a certain show as there was no space to hang them, or I had simply missed them,” Stude said.

Featured artists will include Kathleen Adair Brown, Chris Atkinson, Carol Bennett, A.Kimberlin Blackburn, Doug Britt, Margaret Ezekiel, Sally French, Karen Gally, Roberta Griffith, Tom Lieber, Ante Mandaric, Deyana Mielke, Anne Punohu, Rosa Silver, Bruna Stude, Heather Wlcoxon, Willaim T. Wiley and Wayne Zebzda.

Stude said she responds well to work that is rooted in

a meaningful idea or intent.

“With the importance of global environmental issues, Hawaii has become, as it should be, one of the centers of conceptual awareness and critical debate, especially about global environmental issues, but also about many other matters shaping human destiny. Art and issues should and do meet here,” Stude said.

Galerie 103 will also be introducing new works from the Summer Collection by Canadian artist and textile designer Katherine Soucie who specializes in one of a kind wearable art created from textile industry waste.

The Independent Filmmakers of Kauai is teaming up with galerie 103 to present a monthly series of film showings at the gallery.
