When we were in Las Vegas with my family, we rented a van, it was a
Hyundai Starex. It was the first time I had been in a Hyundai and it
was very nice. Enjoy your new Sonata.

ObFood:

Caribbean Salsa

2 fresh pineapples, peeled, sliced vertically
1 large, ripe firm banana, sliced in half vertically
1 mango, skinned, peeled, sliced in half vertically
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 kiwis, diced

Combine pineapple, banana and mango slices with the olive oil and lime
juice. Toss to coat all the fruit. Place fruit on grill. Grill fruit 4
to 5 minutes each side, remove and cool slightly.

Roughly chop the grilled fruit, reserving juices. Combine both with red
onion, red pepper flakes and kiwi. Serve warm or room temperature. Great
with grilled pork, chicken or fish.
