Hi Michael,

 ML> cultures that come together in the Islands.
 RH> I enjoyed it while I was there--made for lots of good eating.  Sam
 RH> Choy did a lot of local style "fusion" cooking but then too, he had
 RH> several cultures in his back ground.

 ML> Yep. Content and plenty make for peace and fruitful cooperation.

As well as lots of good food. (G)


 ML> My friends Ellen and Joel belong to a peculiar Orthodox sect,
 ML> cooking a meal for friends and relations who are Glatt, which
 ML> sounds to me like a kind of food-based paranoia.
 RH> I think I'd be afraid too. I don't keep separate cook pots and
 RH> suchlike, let alone a whole separate kitchen.

 ML> Need 4, I think, for completeness: fleischig, milchig, and then
 ML> two similar for Passover. I knew a family who did such. Most have
 ML> just two and then do some ritual cleansing before Passover.

I'd always heard of just the 2 but 4--I guess you'd need a mansion for
that.

 ML> A reform Kosher diet is either a contradiction in terms or
 ML> a joke! Not eating lobster on the Sabbath, perhaps?
 RH> Depends on how reform you are. Beef and cheese tacos mght be a no-no
 RH> but drinking milk with the beef meal "might" fly.

 ML> Actually, there isn't a "reform Kosher diet," or else there
 ML> are as many variations as there are of reform Jews. The standard
 ML> as I've seen is that they'll eat anything anytime except maybe
 ML> on high holy days or when in the company of those more conservative
 ML> than they (whether out of politeness or self-consciousness at their
 ML> apostasy I don't know).

I suspect it's as strict or as liberal as the person wants to make it.
Yes, the high holy days may cause a person to go a bit more strict; it
must be thinking that God would be happy or something like that. I'mglad
I don't have to follow rules like that and can eat whatever I want.


 ML> PORTUGUESE SWEET BREAD
 ML> categories: bread, Hawaiian, Portuguese
 ML> Yield: 4 loaves

This stuff is good; one of our military friends in Germany used to have
it all the time.  Five years ago, when we did the Hawaiian graduation
party for Rachel and David, she remembered having the bread and asked
that it be included in the menu--we did.
