Hi Dave,

Big change from what they were even when we lived in NC 20 some years
ago.  Hawaii also re-elected their incumbent governor--a single,
(divorced) white, Jewish, Republican female.

Which we might have made if we'd rotated from HI in 05 as we'd planned
after the first extention.  We figured our car is probably a Monday
afternoon or Friday morning one; there were a few things that needed
extra attention when he took it in for the 6000 check last week.  They
kept it a couple of days but gave us a base model sedan Focus as a
loaner. Made us appreciate the bells & whistles we got on our vehicle.

 DD> MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

 DD>       Title: Shejar B'dehen (Zucchini & Rice) - GF
 DD>  Categories: Squash, Rice
 DD>       Yield: 4 Servings

 DD>       3 tb Rice; raw
 DD>       1 sm Onion; fine chopped
 DD>       3 tb Butter
 DD>     1/2 ts Turmeric
 DD>     1/2 ts Pepper
 DD>       1 lb Zucchini; chopped coarse
 DD>   1 1/2 c  Tomato juice

I'd probably add a touch more liquid & use brown rice.  Cooking time
would have to be increased a bit but it looks like a good way to serve
zuchinni.

... Always butter up the SYSOP, they taste better that way.
