Hi Michael,

 RH> You know, you might have a valid point there.  I don't mind the basic
 RH> math stuff but would have major conniptions if asked to solve
 RH> something abstract.

 ML> With me, it's pretty much the opposite. If I'm asked to
 ML> solve something concrete or real-world, my brain just stops.
 ML> You can almost smell it overheating.

Mine works fine in the real world--most of the time.  When I'm not
feeling good, all bets are off however.

 ML> Knowing him, he would either 1. not have complied; or 2. been
 ML> a ranked surfer; or 3. been one of the officials.
 RH> Any one of the three, most likely 1 or 2.

 ML> Actually, knowing Hap, he wouldn't have stood still long
 ML> enough to get ranked; but they'd have left him alone anyhow.

I think lifeguards have tightened up since he was over here.  A shark
bit a guy in the water off the North Shore (near Waimea Bay) the other
day; the water cleared out quick!


 RH> The oil on an oily fish is Steve's biggest hang up.  BTW, the turkey

 ML> I can understand it. The oil after all is where the fishiness
 ML> rests: that's why many of us prefer white-fleshed fish ... of
 ML> course, some of us (read "meeee!") like our white fish smoked
 ML> to bring the oils out again.

I like smoked salmon (lox) but don't think I've had any other smoked
fish.  Steve bought some canned smoked oysters (?, could have been some
other kind) once; I tried one and found it too strong for my liking.

 RH> we brined and smoked yesterday came out quite good.  I boiled down the
 RH> 5 quarts or so of pan drippings & water into a couple of quarts to use
 RH> in the rice cooker over the next couple of months.

 ML> Sounds lovely. Instant jambalaya, as it were.

IF I could convince someone else that sausage and okra are good eats...
More for me if I don't. (G)

 RH> The gaters are quite plentiful this year from what I understand.

 ML> They've started eating people, from what I hear. I'm impressed
 ML> with the development of dumb animals even in the space of my
 ML> lifetime.


Or, the degeneration of the human brain. (G)



 RH> We'll be going back to east coast seafood; I may try some of the way's
 RH> we've learned to fix it out here on east coast stuff.

 ML> Ah, fusion.

To use the Yuppie name, yes.  To describe my cooking--it's more of a
"whatevah"!


 ML> Michael's mother's meat-filled pockets [aka Stuffed Sweet Stuffs]
 ML> cat: main, fusion
 ML> servings: 4 to 6

Take this stuff and..............stuff it! (G)
