PUHI — Not everybody was talking about Super Bowl 50 during the Souper Sunday event at the Clayworks at Kilohana.
“I’ve done my last Kauai Interscholastic Federation soccer game,” said Mike Curtis, one of the early diners at the annual event held at the pottery workshop and showroom on the grounds of the Kilohana Estate. “From next week, it’s Senior Softball. We have the opening coming up Saturday at the Hanapepe field from 9 a.m. I’m done with soccer for this year.”
Wisconsin visitors Mike and Jo Camarata were hosting Dave and Terry Guiliani of Missouri after taking classes at Clayworks.
“We’ll probably just take it easy at the condo we’re staying at,” Jo Camarata said. “But if you ask me, I’d like to see the Broncos do something.”
That remark triggered Mary Cook of Crossville, Tennessee, who was sitting at the Clayworks garden area.
“Yeah, Peyton!” she said. “We got to know him when he came to play at the University of Tennessee and have followed him ever since.”
Her husband, Tom, added that Peyton Manning is the oldest quarterback to make it to the Super Bowl.
The diners were enjoying Cream of Broccoli and Curly Kale Soup with fresh-made croutons created by Gaylord’s executive chef Todd Barrett and sous chef Justin Ibanez, served in handmade soup bowls created for the event.
“Todd said the soup was Justin’s idea,” said Susan Pittman of Clayworks at Kilohana. “And the kale was grown right here in the Kilohana Gardens. It’s a real farm-to-table creation.”
Pittman was interrupted by the appearance of Captain Terrific, the Clayworks’ feline mascot, who walked between bowls set up on the counter.
“Look at these,” Pittman said. “They’re samples for microwaveable koozies. Barbara Holwegner is donating some of these for the Zonta Club’s Eat Dessert First Thursday. But she came down and is saying she’ll donate some for next year’s Souper Sunday event as well. I guess that means we need to start earlier.”
Proceeds from the Souper Bowl benefit the Lihue Lutheran Church’s Mobile Munchies ministries, which allows volunteers to assemble 450 brown bag lunches each Thursday for the Salvation Army’s Good News Club, Nana’s House, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Waimea and Kapaa, the Lihue Town Court’s after-school program, and the Salvation Army Kokua Soup Kitchen.
