Hi Hap,

-> Dare I say "senior moments" ?
 HN> ->
 HN> But I'm not a senior....or even a junior...I'm a third! (grin)

OK, then brain cramp.  The following is actually true:  In Sierra Vista,
a few years ago, one of our friends was helping a kid with his computer.
The kid kept forgetting basics so at one point Jim muttered under his
breath about senior moments.  The kid said "I can't have senior moments;
I'm only a freshman".  DUH!

->  HN> I think we have two Hawaiian places to eat, and that's if you count
->  HN> the one that's not yet opened. We used to have 4 but feeding people

-> Still, that's 2 plus more than we've got.

 HN> And I'm happy we have them! Can hardly wait for the new place
 HN> "hawaiian Barbecue" to open!

I think that is an off shoot of L&L if I recall correctly.  I remember
seeing something in the Advertiser while we were in HI about them
expanding onto the main land.

-> I don't know, ask McDonalds of HI how well it sells over there.  That or
-> Portugese sausage are available.

 HN> In Hawaii it's a big moneymaker...in Tacoma.......not so much!

Get closer to Seattle and it'll pick up in sales.

->  HN> Well, it ain't Iron chef, so taste is more likely the final element
->  HN> that determines success!

-> Yes, that's true.  The taste could have used a bit of tweaking but it
-> was the best of the 3 (originality, plating and taste) categories with
-> this batch of crepes.

 HN> I always try to plate attractively here at home...as much as possible,
 HN> but in the end the esthetics don't count quite as much as the
 HN> edibility.

True.  Sometimes I'll make an extra effort to make plating pretty but
most of the time it's a matter of getting the food on the plate so it
can be eaten.  Generally, with the 2 of us, we'll fix plates in the
kitchen and bring them over to the table vs putting everything into
serving bowls, platters, etc.  My MIL admits to doing it too. (G)

->  HN> healthy for us (grin).

-> Some is, like dark chocolate. (G)

 HN> Anne would agree with you wholeheartedly on that! I splurged the other
 HN> day and got a high % cacao bar...($6.99) I think it was 75% or more
 HN> dark,
 HN> bittersweet chocolate....we each had 1/4 bar for dessert with tea
 HN> (coffee for me!) in the evening....Anne thinks it was well worth the
 HN> price!

We were over to Brighter Day today and got some extra dark stuff--mine
with mint, Steve's with chili peppers.  Also got some Newman's Own dark
chocolate pb cups and mint cups as well as the wheat berries, soy beans,
etc we'd come for.
