Oh - and another seasonal (spring) regional delicacy which some have enjoyed, but I haven't had in years is morel mushrooms. Grab a bucket or Wal-Mart shopping bag, trek out in the woods where it's marshy, when the temperature has been cool, there's been a recent rain and then the temperature spikes up to the 60s and happy hunting! Once they're cleaned and soaked in salt water, batter pan fried and served hot .... mmmm.
Okay, this is a great childhood memory of picking morel mushrooms behind our house. Dad would fry them up along with froglegs! I usually passed on the froglegs! LOL Now we just buy the mushrooms at the store.
Trishy, You have me so curious! You sure are a sweetie. I never did hear about Mother's day. How was it with your parents? I just learned an interesting principle: Patience is not granted, it is earned. Wow! Make you stop and think, doesn't it?
Have a great day in the Lord!
Lori

Good Morning, Trishy et. al!
I turned my a/c on this morning. Welcome to my world - 60 degrees at one end of the week - near 90 by the other. Living here, you get to see ALL of the weather - close together! :)
Have a good day today everyone!

Trishy,
My MD was very nice, thanks for asking. I was getting over a bug that went through our family so I chose to go to late service so that I could get a few more winks.
I can't wait for the luau!
Clinging to the cross,
Lori

Oohhh, luau.
More food talk!!!!!
Kalua pig, lomi salmon, a'ama crab, poki, poi, lau lau and haupia for dessert. Yum 
Maybe some musubi, huh? With the small red ume inside.....
And sashimi.
Teriyaki chicken with 2 scoops rice
Ok, I'll stop already 
Ok I feel that I owe everyone a translation.
Kalua pig- Traditionally, a whole pig is roasted in an underground oven, shredded and salted. It has a nice smoky flavor. The quick and good way to make it is to stick it in a crockpot and add liquid smoke to it.
Lomi salmon- Like a relish- with smoked salmon, diced tomatoes, Maui onion, and salt. You have to use your hands to mix and "massage" the dish.
Poke (po-kay)- Usually a raw fish dish. Hawaiian style is tuna, seaweed, Hawaiian salt, maui onion, and a little kukui nut (chopped small). There are many variations. You can use any seafood you like really and it doesn't have to be raw.
Lau Lau- Usually pork, butterfish (you can use chicken instead of pork), a piece of fat from the pork (to prevent it from getting too dry), salt, wrapped with taro leaves and then wrapped in a tea leaf. You can't eat the tea leaf but the taro leaf is the best! It's like spinach but better!
Poi- Smashed taro. It's an acquired taste. Eaten as a starch or like a dessert by adding lots of sugar to it.
Haupia- Like a coconut custard. I don't like coconut so I don't know how it's made.
Musubi- A lightly salted rice ball with whatever you like inside of it. Like sushi but with no vinegar in it!
Ume- Pickled plum
Sashimi- raw fish, just sliced thin and eaten with soy sauce and wasabi (horseradish)
Teriyaki Chicken- You know what this is right?
Whew!
Trish, I'm just curious. What is Australian food like? Is it similar to English food?

Re: weather - We grow hardy vegetation and animals around these parts. The humidity will equal the temperature many days. It's fine in the winter - warms things up - but in the summer - it can be miserable.
Re: my day - it ended horribly. One of our church members took his own life; his adult daughter arrived home from work and found him. She called us first. Other church members' health deteriorating fast; these are their last days. Not a happy end of day. Please pray for these families - esp. the daughter I mentioned.

Trishy, thanks for the explanation. I was just about to ask you what that all was.
Australia has a lot of the normal English foods, however you can get game like kangaroo, emu, crocodile on your menu. Personally I haven't tasted them, but some do. We get things like sushi here as well as a lot of other cultural foods. Australia is very multicultural. It sounds as though we don't have a lot of the foods that you have though. Either that, or we know them as other things.

Thank you for the hugs and prayers.
Weird experience of this day: I called someone & got their answering machine. The voice on the machine was their daughter. She was killed in an auto accident in February. Maybe it was because of the incident yesterday, but I was just so unprepared for that. I could barely get through leaving the message.
Please Lord Jesus, come quickly!

The beach house is finally done with renovation and Trishy opens the back french doors, which overlooks the beautil ocean. She wants to make it a special day for her friends on the island. Before anyone arrives, she prepares some mango iced tea and sets in the refrigerator. It's a potblessing day today and everyone is welcome to bring in their favorite dish. The soft sunlight beams on in and a cool ocean breeze fills the house. She decides to relax on the hammock right outside the back doors, hoping that she doesn't fall off
Good morning Trish, Rach, Lori, Randy, Ms.O, pruned, everyone else that is reading this thread! As they say in Hawaii, "It's Aloha Friday. No work till Monday" Ok, the second part of it from a local song. 
What does everyone's weekend look like? Oh and I can't forget to ask- ((((((((PRUNED))))))) How is everything? I guess you will find out more this Sunday huh.

POG stands for Passion (Passion Fruit), Orange, and Guava. It's delish! 
That's a huge difference in temperature. Can all that delicious strawberries take that? Perhaps the trees are just used to drastic changes in temperature. How is your day going by so far? How about your newsletter? 
Guess I'll just have to come to the luau. 
I ate so much yesterday and not healthy. So... no talk about food today ok? Just for today
