Hiya Ruth!


-> ->  HN> Anne can have some too! They even have Saimin on the
menu!Ahhhhhh!
-> 
-> -> Sounds like you are in hog heaven.  Speaking of, our church does a
Wed.
-> 
->  HN> I was! Went back the next day with Annie and I had the huli huli
->  HN> chicken....it was very good!
-> 
-> A couple of weeks ago Steve was yearningfor some Maui Mike's chicken.
-> This is a guy that set up in Wahiawa about 3 years ago, making good
-> money off the military. (G)  It is good chicken, fire roasted.
->

Probably was huli huli...that's some goood chicken!
 
-> -> Good, hope it goes well from my kinda sorta cobbled together recipe.
->  HN> ->
->  HN> I think it will do fine!
-> 
-> You will, of course, let us know how it comes out.
-> 

Of course I will!

-> -> -> mom took years to get over it, if she ever did, before she died.
->  HN> ->
-> ->  HN> Michael's mom may fall into that category, she's still having a
-> ->  HN> rough time and everyone is keeping very close tabs on her all
the
-> 
-> -> That can be rough on the rest of the family as well.  She may need
some
-> -> professional help at some point.
-> 
->  HN> I think she needs it for sure, but right now I don't think she's
even
->  HN> capable of dealing with therapy. It is being very rough on her
other
->  HN> kids and her ex husband has started hitting the bottle very
hard...not
->  HN> a good sign at all.
-> 
-> Maybe group (family) therapy in the not too distant future?  Otherwise,
-> it doesn't sound good.  Does the police benevolent association have
-> anything like that available?
-> 

They do and it will certainly be offered, but I don't know if anyone's
ready to deal with it yet. I think the stress of being a police officer's
wife for all those years, and the mother of three police officers as
well...I think she's just totally overwhelmed at the moment and hopefully
she'll pull out of it for the rest of the family's sake.

-> ->  HN> I used to make Thanksgiving my trip into wild cooking, we'd
always
-> ->  HN> have the traditional turkey and stuffing and giblet gravy...but
-> 
-> -> That would be interesting, especially for the unsuspecting guests.
(G)
->  HN> ->


->  HN> Usually it worked out very well, everyone knew my approach and came
to
->  HN> the table with an open mind.
-> 
-> That's good, everybody knew in advance. Some people would not tell the
-> guests; that could be a big problem.
->
 
I was well known for my Thanksgiving philosophy! I usually asked all the
people who were coming what their favorite and least favorite foods were so
I could tailor the meal so everyone would have a (hopefully) terrific meal!

-> ->  HN> not....the blue cheese mashed potatoes seemed like a good
->  HN> idea....but
-> ->  HN> ended up being a NOT!
->  HN> ->
-> -> It sounds like it would have been good but the amount of blue cheese
has
-> -> Of course hitting the happy medium is an art.
-> 
->  HN> The problem was that the blue cheese flavored the potatoes very
->  HN> well...too well and that flavor grew stronger over time, so the
->  HN> leftovers were way over the top in blue cheese flavor! With just
Annie
->  HN> and me here, I've cut down quite a bit and we don't really need all
->  HN> the extra calories so it's ok!
-> 
-> OK, that was a bit of a misstep.  Could the leftovers be turned into
-> something like potato cakes or shepherd's pie topping to cut the blue
-> cheese flavor a bit?
-> 
-> 
Grin! There were lots of leftover blue potatoes! Everyday the flavor would
get "Bluer"! No matter what I put them with the only flavor that came out
was BLUE CHEESE! Now I like blue cheese...but this was like being slapped
in the tounge with a big blast of it! I'll not make that dish again (grin)!
chat with you soon
