Hi Michael,

 RH> I didn't see either one--Steve took the girls to JP but we were
 RH> expecting someone to drop by & pick something up so I stayed home. He
 RH> never showed up so................ As for the Bruce Willis film, it
 RH> was shot while we were in HI so it got hyped.

 ML> Scads of movies have been filmed within a few miles of
 ML> where I am now (Salem); to my knowledge I have never seen
 ML> one of these, though I have contributed to the soundtrack
 ML> of a number of them, back in the distant past.

That's more than I've done; I've been a background player (way back)
just about all of my life.

 ML> others imitated this with some less ambitious plantings.
 RH> Still, fun to go thru.

 ML> When we went through one smaller tunnel of trees, Lilli asked
 ML> me if it was the famous one, and I said I thought not, as we
 ML> seemed to be (and were) northeast of it.

But you had the fun of going thru a tree tunnel, if not the famous one,
on Kauai. Beats what most people have(n't) done.

 RH> Sigh! I need to get down to the coast before we leave here to get in a
 RH> few good seafood meals.

 ML> I've found surprisingly good seafood in out of the way
 ML> inland places, such as Denver, through the miracles of
 ML> modern transportation techniques and flash freezing.

There's a good place in Rolesville, the branch of it in Raleigh is even
better from what we've heard. Seems they sent all the cooks from the
Rolesville one to Raleigh & the replacement ones aren't as good. There's
also a pretty lousy place in Raleigh, part of a small chain, that I
would not reccommend at all. I've been a bit spoiled by living on the NC
& GA coasts and in HI--good seafood available (almost) an arm's length
away.

 ML> Not so effective for raw bivalves, but quite satisfactory
 ML> for most fish. Not to denigrate your quest, of course, as
 ML> nothing beats the real thing, but just to say adaptation
 ML> is always possible.

I know, story of my life. Adapt to the surroundings and make the best of
it. I've ended up pretty well for it, overall.


 ML> STEAMED MUSSELS WITH SOY
 ML> cat: shellfish, main
 ML> serves: 4

Eat this & turn into a mussel man? Not quite a super hero tho. (G)
