I wonder how many of us have Hawaii stories. Ruth and Hap lived
there for an extended time; did you? If so, why; if not, why not?

You must have been there quite a while to see the price double.

Some pig!

There's this guy going down the street, walking a pig on a leash.
The pig is all dolled up, with a ribbon around his neck, but he
has only three legs. A passerby sees this and says to the owner,
that must be some pig! The owner says, yes, two years ago, the
family house was on fire, and this pig oinked and squealed and
made a huge ruckus waking everyone up, and we all got out
safely. Wow, the passerby says. And that's not all, says the
owner. Last year, my wife and youngest daughter were driving
down the road, and the brakes failed, and the car went into the
irrigation pond, and this pig ran down and rescued little Mandy
all by himself. And that isn't all, either! Six months ago, I
was clearing some land, and a tree that I was working on fell
on me, but this pig ran up and deflected the tree so I wasn't
killed. So the passerby says, oh, so that's how the pig lost his
leg? Nah, says the owner. It's just that you just don't eat a
pig like that all at once.

I have this huge craving for a steak right now. Unfortunately,
even though it's only half a mile to the grocery store, the winds
and rain are such that I am not really eager to traipse down there.
I did a little cost-benefit analysis and decided to just have some
leftover rice instead. Doctored it up, though.

Rice a garlicy
cat: rice
servings: 2

8 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tb EVOO
1/4 c chicken broth
2 Tb dry white wine
1 c leftover cooked plain white rice

Saute garlic in oil; when it's just beginning to brown,
stop this process by dumping in broth and wine. Bring to
a boil, and when the liquid is reduced to 3 or 4 Tb,
lower the heat to low, add the rice (clusters broken up
by hand), stir, cover, and let cook 10 min. Serve. I would
have topped this with some chopped parsley if I'd had any
handy, but too bad.

This would go nicely with a steak.
