Eh, Chris. I can make haupia "coconut" style. Easy as can be with canned coconut milk and cornstarch. Boy, labor intensive for making kulolo. I'm definitely too lazy to make the old way. Plus nomo imu in Cleveland, fiyamenz no like you have imu in da city.
Isn't there some kind of sweet potato pudding sort of thing, also?
But Chris - really, truly, thank you so very much for teaching us the old way. You should write a book. |

"Boy, labor intensive for making kulolo."
Some call it labor intensive; those who actually do it for the first time call it one of the best days in their life.

Do apples grow in Hawai`i? I do not mean "mountain apples", but like MacIntosh, etc., kind that Johnny Appleseed wen plant befo time. Is Hawai`i too tropical for certain fruits and veggies to grow? Like cabbage is a cold weather veg, or onions can bolt if they get too hot, or radishes get all woody and pithy if it is warm weather?
Also, anyone know much about growing orchids? Why can't I get my orchids to bloom again? I get plenty leaves, new air roots, but nomo flowers. |

| Eh, Wanda. Can compensate for tropical climes by elevation--going higher up da mountain is like increasing latitude. Cabbage jus' needs to find a happy elevation to ensure kalua pork an' cabbage! |

On the Big Island there is an apple orchard up at Keanakolu on Mana road- I'm guessing about 7000 feet? We used to go up there just before Thanksgiving, since they are not the best for eating but make great pies. There is a single Korean pear tree up there that makes a ton or two of fruit every year, though, and those are choice! And the plums in the summer. Plus the only decent peach I ever ate in Hawai'i was from there.
My friend has an apple tree in Haina- she planted it years ago from a catalog, doesn't know what variety but it wasn't something special for the tropics- Haina is about 500 foot elevation, below Honokaa. That tree bears beautiful, delicious red apples every year. And some folk get two pear tree in Kukuihaele, just above Waipi'o at about 900 foot- so many times I was tempted to rip a few pear, but nevah did. Looks like Bartlet and Anjou, but who knows?
Cabbage, broccoli lidat dey grow choke Waimea, roun 4000 foot- mos of dat kine go Oahu. Maui onions stay world famous, supah sweet kine. An I grow plenny radish in Waipi'o- regular kine an daikon too. Daikon get so big- what you goine do wid all dat radish?
Some orchids respond to daylight hours, but most to wet/dry season. Mebbe you watah too much. But "dry" season has to be the right time of year- when were they blooming when you bought them? My mother get plenny orchids bloom on her birthday- cause fo so many years I give her one orchid. I think mebbe three-four months befoa, she no moa watah- let da buggahs shrivel a bit. Den wen da "rain" start again, dey break out new leaves and flowers. But really, no ask me- I can grow any kine ting cept orchids. |

Get wintah in Hawai`i or always nice? Moah rain in wintah? Different plants grow in wintah? Trees stop making leaves?
I cannot remembah if was Ulupalakua or Parker Ranch, was one pine tree, the biggest around tree trunk I nevah saw in my life! Had to be 10 feet around or more. And the needles on this pine, it was a giant! And the pine cones! Ho, brah, could give falsecracks if you not lookin out. |

Well, at least I ain't as momona as I used to be.
I ain't ready for it to be ovah until 1000 jes becawz.
Jay is wort' fitty dollah anytime.
Now I have something to admit. I need help. Lots of help. I have been making my Christmas cards. My goal this year is to have no two exactly alike. Well, I hate to say, but, well, umm, well, I guess I have maybe gone overboard. I have made WAY too many cards. I have fewer addresses to send them to than I have cards available to send.
So plese help me out with ideas. And alos, for our TP `ohana, if you would like me to send you one card and get on the list for my various other card making forays, please send me a private e-mail with your snail address and I will send you a card.
Does that sound pitiful me asking for friends to send cards to? No. So far I have made about 80 cards and ending up buying more stuff to make more cards yesterday at Michael's, because I saw some more stuff that I thought would have cute ideas.
The cards and scrapbooking have providied lots of entertainment for me and `Oni`Oni. She likes to snitch my stickers and run away with them. Or ribbon and bows, she loves that. And glue. I think she is a sniffer.
So please help me out. `Alika and Alana, please send me your addresses.
And the rest of you guys, OK, lets keep this going until 1000.
Rah-rah, rah.
Rah-rah-ree - hit 'em in da knee
Rah-rah-rass, hit 'em in da .......oddah knee! |

No tripe for me. I just watched "Dirty Jobs" TV show where he was at a place called BARF, which was Bay Area something or other about making raw unprocessed dog food out of "green" tripe - never cooked or cleaned or anything lie that. Even the dirty job guy was grossed out.
And then Iron Chef had the Halloween show of "offal". Those guys cooked some of the grossest stuff and then the judges wen eat it. Icky. |
