    In A Cooking Mood

    March 27, 2010 - By 

    David and I are getting in a mood to cook something a little different – in addition to David’s homemade chicken soup, we’re going to try kreplach (filled dumplings), which are tasty little packets of savory goodness when added to soups. About.com: http://www.astray.com/recipes/?show=Easy%20kreplach Source: Good Yom Tov – Helen Stern Saute onion in smaltz. Place chicken in food processor. Add onions, schmaltz and grivens to chicken. Add salt & pepper to taste. Chop well. Place 1 teaspoon of meat filling in center of each won ton skin and fold into triangles. Pinch sides together. It helps to moisten the edges…

    Recursion! Hair Gadgetry

    Took advantage of the health club’s dressing room mirrors to get a picture of the hair combs I bought on Maui – they’re joined by beaded elastic. Available online soon, will post link later. And yes, I’ve lost some wait. Makeup? How quaint. Via: Flickr Title: Recursion! Hair Gadgetry By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 7 Mar ’10, 12.46pm CST PST

    Inappropriate Quotation Marks “Emergency Transportation”

    February 27, 2010 - By 

    While waiting for the all-clear at Kihei Lutheran, found this trove of inappropriate quote marks in their Community Outreach bulletin board. They mean well, and offer some kind of "Emergency Transportation", a "Choices" food program, and can do "Flyers" for special occasions. Thanks to them for their hospitality while we waited out the tsunami. They would have made a KILLING on a bake sale today, though!

    We’re at Kihei Lutheran with other tourists and residents. A ok waiting it out. #fb Water system shut down soon as a precaution. We won’t see anything up here, the waves that hit Tahiti were smaller than forecasted which is apparently good sign for events in next hour. Listening to local talk radio, some idiot woman was talking about looting in Haiti after their devastating eathquake. Stupid! Meanwhile, callers are talking about how their communities were mobilizing, stockpiling propane gas bottles, organizing folks to get elders and carless folks to higher ground. Locals now starting to arrive up here, they…

    Tsunami evacuation: Kihei Lutheran Church

    February 27, 2010 - By 

    We moved to a nearby church lot after getting coffee and bagels. Now have power, water, restrooms, snacks. David now giving tech support on how to send texts to other tourists that don’t know how. Traffic light on Hwy 31. We heard that access to south Kihei Rd. will be restricted, cops want it cleared by 10am. Latest update we had is 7 ft waves expected at Kahului after 11am, monitoring radio and Pacific Tsunami Warning Center website. Friend is working at my office today (I’m a corporate travel agent) reports OGG operating for now, no delays. Airport here is…
