====================================================================
HIya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> So rein in your drooling for a bit.  I'm looking forward to a taste
-> -> testing report.
-> 
->  HN> Ooooh So am I!
-> 
-> At least I'll know what you're talking about if they have halpia, kalua
-> pork, lomi lomi salmon, etc.  I'll be able to "taste" in my mind most of
-> the stuff.
->
I'm looking forward to it! I want Saimin! kau kau, and lomi lomi..kahlua
pork...ahhhhhhh
 
-> ->  HN> everything the way they had been taught as children...and boy o
boy
-> 
-> -> Should I look up the amounts of stuff I use?  Mine is a hybrid of
-> -> several recipes but it's mouthwatering good.
-> 
->  HN> I'd certainly save it and give it a try to surprise Annie at some
->  HN> point, for her it's one of the ultimate comfort foods!
-> 
-> OK, I'll get it checked out and get back on it in the next few days. I
-> will have to check a couple of cook books and then write down all that I
-> put in.  I'll be making sauerbraten in the next few weeks but not quite
-> sure when.
-> 
No big rush, I'll save it whenever you post it!

-> ->  HN> german....and drink german beer...and eat german food and have
->  HN> german
-> ->  HN> desserts!
-> 
-> -> Nachturlich! (Dale, pardon the German but it fit the occaision.)
-> 
->  HN> The people who bought the place seem to be surviving, but we seldom
->  HN> see the ladies (we used to call them the "luftwaffe", because
they'd
->  HN> all swoop in and take the place over), and it's sort of sad because
->  HN> they really were a happy group of people who filled the place with
->  HN> laughter and smiles!
-> 
-> Well, they left nice memories. Is the new place offering hula lessons?
-> (G)
->
The Hawaiian BBQ is right across the hall from the German bistro, so it
should be interesting...Polka music coming from one place and hula from the
other!
 
-> ->  HN> LOL I still would not eat there! Last time I was in that region
->  HN> (2002)
-> ->  HN> what I would do is look for a small town...get off the
interstate
->  HN> and
-> ->  HN> look for a local mom and pop sort of place...worked every time!
->  HN> ->
-> -> Well, we wanted to get to NC at a decent time so we didn't want to go
-> -> wandering in the small towns. On the way up in July, we found a good
bbq
-> -> place in Lumberton but knew we would be getting bbq Saturday on this
-> -> trip so decided to go for SOTB.  It took a while to get the food out
-> 
->  HN> My advantage was that I was on no schedule so could afford to make
->  HN> those little side trips. I will confess the smoke was really quite
a
->  HN> distasteful aspect, but I had to put up with it to get the good
food.
-> 
-> With my asthma, I have to avoid smoke as much as possible.  It seems
-> tho, that a lot of places make you walk thru the smoking area to get to
-> the non smoking. The reverse should be the rule, not the norm as is now.
-> 
If Anne had been with me we could not have done it that way either...it
does affect both of us but she's much more sensitive to it than I am.

-> We knew we were just passing thru that area of South/North Carolina to
-> get to our final destination.  If we'd started an hour earlier or later
-> (or even half hour), we'd not have been at SOTB at lunch time.
-> 
->
Gonna have to work on your timing! (grin)
 
-> -> -> better than the ones I had in Savanah last month at Carey
Hilliards;
-> -> -> those were mush.
-> 
-> ->  HN> Which is why I seldom order scallops any more!
-> 
-> -> I'd not had scallops for so long that I got them quite a bit our
first
-> -> year or so here but am backing off them now and going for other
seafood.
-> -> Steve had a nice flounder Sunday noon time in Swansboro.  My calamari
-> -> were good but the marinara sauce was outstanding!
-> 
->  HN> Yummmmmm calamari! Maybe I'll go squidding again this year and get
my
->  HN> own! ->
-> 
-> Does Amanda eat any of her catch in her research work? (G) I tried
-> making calamari a few times but appreciate having someone else do the
-> work of cleaning the squid for me now.  We generally don't fry food at
-> home; getting it from time to time when we're out is more the rule.  On
-> this trip we had the fried flounder and squid fro one meal but had hush
-> puppies with several meals.  I'd have a couple only, not that I couldn't
-> eat more but I tried not to eat too much fried stuff.
-> 
Nope, the sea slug (philine orientalis) she's working with is NASTY tasting
and generates an acidic slime when agitated...not good eating although
Michael says' he'd like to give em a try! The crabs she's working with are
small as well, about the size of a silver dollar (remember those???).

-> -> -> More support players than on the ball team itself.
-> ->  HN> ->
-> ->  HN> Oh goodness yes!! But we cost the team a lot less money than
they
->  HN> do!
->  HN> ->
-> -> They aren't paying for egos on the support staff. (G)
->  HN> ->
->  HN> You got that right! (grinning)!
-> 
-> I suspect the salaries of all the support staff may possibly equal that
-> of one or two players. (G) But, it's the guys making the mega bucks that
-> people come to see.
-> 
-> 
Yup we all know that (grin) 
chat with you soon
