May 5th

[Gary]

Ok, so it's May 5th and Cinco de Mayo. I remember in the past
years here, many posted about cooking some traditional mexican
meals for this..Especially those in California and some
south-western states.

So no mention here today about that. why?

Well, in my world, the heck with the Mexican day.

Today is also the UK National Ferret Day.
Happy day to our UK people that celebrate the little
ones on this day. A traditional meal for ferrets
would natually be a warm gravy meal. :)

Thanks O. I'll adopt more once I get settled. I sure do miss the
little ones here.

Yeah, Cinco de Mayo wasn't a thing until maybe the last decade or so. Now,
like St. Patrick's Day, it's mainly observed as an opportunity to get
shitfaced. People certainly rarely think about what it actually
commemorates.

The closest I can come to matching what I'm having for dinner is:
Children's Day in Japan. I'll be having take-out sushi. That's
not a Children's Day tradition, but it's the closest I can come
to fitting in with my plans.

Cinco de Mayo is a marketing ploy to get people out to restaurants.
It is not their day of independence which is September 16.

We don't have any ferrets here which is probably a good thing. They'd probably kill everything in sight. We do have mongoose here which is sorta similar. They were introduced here to kill rats in the cane fields. The mongoose then proceeded to kill everything in sight - except rats.

5/5 is Boy's Day in Hawaii. 3/3 is Girl's Day - just to keep things in symmetry. OTOH, Boy's Day is kind of dying off around here. It's being beat out by Cinco de Mayo. It's also my son's birthday. He calls this day "Cinco de Michael."

It's on a different island so there's not any danger at all - except maybe from a tsunami generated by the earthquakes. That volcano has been erupting for 35 years although this is the first time that cracks have appeared in someone's backyard and lava started spewing out of it. It makes an interesting sound.

there? Didn't they get any geological input?

Beats me. I toyed with the idea of making some Tex-Mex enchiladas using
an old Betty Crocker recipe. I decided not to.

It's Kentucky Derby day, too. I'm not drinking mint juleps or wearing a

The Kilauea lava flows have all been moving away from the Leilani Estates. There have been a couple of towns that were affected by the eruption of Kilauea. The Eastern side has been relatively untouched in recent times. Historically, it's been considered safe. The latest flow was something new and unexpected. OTOH, you might have access to better geological maps.

If you want to see an interesting geological feature, check out the Northeastern side of Oahu on Google Earth. You see a large debris field radiating out from the island. This is the collapsed rim of a huge crater that once existed. It left behind the awesome mountain range that runs across the length of the island. The range is a very popular and dramatic feature that's used in movies these days. The collapse of the crater rim much have created a tsunami of epic proportions.

[Cindy Hamilton]

Of course. But not in Michigan until recently. I think Chi-Chi's
popularized it (just before they went under).

Look at the south east corner of the island and you will see a lava flow
that took place in ~1960. That's recent. The thing is, anywhere along
that line appears to be vulnerable.

Humans aren't too concerned with events that might happen on a geological timescale. If they were, nobody would live in much of California, or the Pacific Northwest and other areas that have the potential to one day, explode, turn to rubble, or fall into the sea.

The reality is that there's not much chance of one's house being destroyed or being killed by a volcano in Hawaii. We got lots of other things though. Stuff like hurricanes, flash floods, and tsunamis. We've been hit by several devastating hurricanes in the last few decades. We had epic flooding on Kauai a couple of weeks ago. The Governor sent a request to Trump a few days ago, requesting some assistance. I'm not holding my breath. :)

We were supposed to be there this weekend for a convention but I couldn't figure out a way to swing it financially. Too bad, that would have been something to see.

I made a canned corned beef sandwich the other day. I used Palm corned beef - that stuff is just great. The corned beef was fried until the water was gone and the beef was starting to brown. I fried up some bread I made that had layers of Dubliner cheese. Some coleslaw was put on the bread and the corned beef was put on top of the slaw. What happens when you put together 3 things rich in umami flavor? You get a wonderful, intense, experience. It was almost too overpowering!

Canned corned beef is quite different from beef you cook for yourself. I really like the canned stuff because it's convenient and easy to make. If you try to make one, make sure to get Palm corned beef. Canned corned beef varies greatly in quality and Palm is the best. It's the favorite of Samoans and thousands of Samoans can't be wrong. Well, I suppose they could be wrong but I sure as heck ain't going to be the one to tell them that.

No they don't. You've never smelled it. I did once and it was
same as a mild fart that dissipated quickly. Only in *extreme*
life threatening situations does that happen. Does anyone's cat
or dog smell putrid?

I'm planning to try another Kentucky Derby favorite but not
because of the day. I saw these being made on Taylor Hick's show,
State Plate, last week when his featured state of the week was
Kentucky. BTW, I like that show. It's all about traditional
state's foods.

Benedictine sandwiches (or dip with crackers).
Basics are only cucumber, onion and cream cheese.

Maybe try a bit of that can to make
corned beef hash...fried along with potatoes and onions.
Bet your husband would like that.

I generally use leftover ham for hash though.

It must be a local/regional show.

[Gary]

It's not local, it's a cable channel.
Look for it Mondays (that's tonight) at 7:30pm eastern time. INSP
is the channel, not a food channel. INSP shows many old westerns
too that I like to watch.

www.insp.com/shows/state-plate/

Anyway, if you have cable you might want to check it out. I like
it. It's a half-hour show and entertaining...

Just saw in my newspaper the other day that he spent last week in
Virginia filming a new episode. I'm curious as to see what 4-5
Virginia dishes he comes up with. Virginia is so diverse...ocean
seafood up to mountain food and all kinds of things inbetween.
I'll bet ham and maybe peanuts might be on it.

Tonight's state is Rhode Island. I'll like that one too as I
lived there for awhile.

I have.

If you smelled fart and it dissipated quickly, it was just a fart.
Your rescued pet ferrets probably had been neutere3d and their scent
glands surgically removed at the same time, for the pet market.

The smell from mustelid scent glands is nothing like a fart and it does
NOT dissipate quickly. One of our cats got sprayed once (made the
mistake of trying to catch a stoat) and the stench lasted days.

Polecat/ferrets scientific name Mustela putorius is derived from this
species' foul smell. The Latin putorius translates to stench or stink
and is the origin of the English word putrid.

Ferrets are not related to skunks but many think so. This is why
everyone assumes that ferrets stink.

[Gary]

No need to try to "out ferret" me, darlin. I'm quite aware of
both. I've owned them for 12 years and you haven't. I also have a
few european friends with ferrets. What they call ferrets there
are different from ferrets over here. What you say about
"european ferrets" is true but so am I about my side of the pond.

Through crossbreeding, etc, what we have here in the usa are
similar but different. For a long time, the USA considered the
skunk (aka polecat here) as the same but recent years realized
that they are not so related at all.

Anyway...read this and update your info. :)

To argue "UK ferrets" vs "USA ferrets" is basically apples and

My nephew had one and he certainly scent marked and it had a pungent
smell.

Before Sheldon comes back with his usual mild-mannered reply,
I'll point out that Kosher delis wouldn't serve beef and cheese
together.

A not-statistically-significant sample of one Kosher deli in New
York reveals that they have no cheese anywhere on the menu.

They may not be directly related to skunks, but like many other furry
critters, they have scent glands that produce a musky smelling secretion.

He said he has no idea what it would taste like so I was wondering if he had
ever heard of corned beef, rye, and swiss cheese, which is very good. I
don't care what kind of response he comes back with, it's a simple question.

The thing is, Sheldon limits his experience to kosher delis in Brooklyn.
We all know there are reasons why they wouldn't have served meat with
cheese. That limits his imagination and his experience.

Personally, one of the best things I've ever tasted was a corned beef
and swiss sandwich. It was at a sub shop somewhere in Memphis that
offered some nice hot sandwiches with a cup of soup.

I've made this many times myself. Not on rye bread but on a buttered,
lightly toasted crusty "french roll". Toasted under the oven broiler.
Delicious! And not at all kosher. Nor from Brooklyn. LOL

Thinly sliced corned beef on a toasty roll with melted swiss cheese is
delicious. Other folks add some sort of spread/sauce and perhaps
saurkraut and hey... might call it a reuben! Heh.

I never was a big fan of canned corned beef but recently the idea popped into my head that a canned corned beef sandwich would be tasty. I imagined it, I tried it, and it was a good thing. This worked out well.

I was fed a lot of canned corned beef sandwiches when I was a kid. I
liked them, Later on they came out with deli corned beef in freezer
packs that could be heated up in boiling water. There was no looking

sandwiches with it.

Yep, it's not bad, especially with lots of mustard. Easy to take camping

The canned corned beef in the trapezoidal can that we consumed back in the day is different now. These days it's some kind of mushy, slushy, pasty, material. The Palm & Ox brand is quite similar to the product back in the 60's. Palm brand corned beef is pretty much what it should have been all the time. All the canned stuff has more grease than in the old days.

Having read your post, D has decided to made a toasted sandwich with corned

We have a toasting machine which seals the edges and heats up the filling.
I don't know what you call it.

I know from where you speak of. The good news is that the cans I've got didn't have that funky looking gelatin in it. The bad news is that it's been replaced with grease.

Just to make it clear, I'm not saying that what you say isn't true - just that people don't think about where they choose to live in that way. My guess is that one day the shit is going to hit the fan i.e., the lava flows will destroy the city of Hilo - if a tsunami or hurricane doesn't get to it first. I'm guessing it's going to be sooner than later.

That's always the case. People build on flood plains and then complain
when they get flooded. They choose to buy a house in an airport flypath
and complain about the noise.
In this case, I would have thought that the authorities would have zoned
areas with a higher risk. But then, hindsight is 20:20!

[Dave Smith]

Back in the 1950s my father was working at AVRO and their facility as on
the edge of Malton Airport (now Pearson International). One of his good
friends was a coworker, an English guy. The guy bought a house about 5
km southwest of the airport. One day when we were visiting the guy was
complaining about the sound from the planes flying overhead. Dad asked
him what he expected when he bought a house so close to the airport.

Dad had been an airforce bomber pilot and was well aware that large
planes made a lot of noise. Planes are much quieter now than they used
to be.

The Hawaiians view the volcano as a living being which demands respect from the natives. You're not going to get much complaining if Pele blows her top and sends people fleeing from their houses. There are numerous stories of Pele taking human form and interacting with humans. These tales are pretty creepy but I suppose that's the way it is with all people that are in close contact with nature are at the mercy of their environment.

When my ex and I spent a few days on the big island, taking a piece of
lava as a souvenir was supposed to bring bad luck. Two years later, we
divorced so some would think the Pele curse worked. However, looking
back, I now consider it to have been good luck! :-)

There are many tales of people taking rocks from Kilauea and having to send the rocks back after a incurring a string of bad luck. Yours is the first I've heard where you've gotten good luck and won't send it back. That's bad for tourism! :)

Those things used to be pretty popular around 20 years ago. I've had a couple of them. After a while you get sick of them and throw them away. Then after that, they seem like a pretty good idea, so you buy another one. But then you get sick of that one too.

What your husband proposes might be a very good idea - especially if you happen to have one of those grills at the time. Good show!

That's funny. At first, my divorce was a most horrendous tragedy
in my life. I never saw it coming but in the end...after a year
of sadness, I realized that it was the best thing that could have
ever happened to me. A sad ending to a marriage but a good thing
for both of us and I got the daughter with no argument.

My next phase of life as a single parent absolutely ruled!

Funny how things turn out like that.

people who hate their exes, were pretty dumb to marry them in the
