Holiday Orders

[AlohaDawg]

They're no good without Lilikoi, coconut or guava syrup.

[wombat]

What is Lillikoi?  Oh wait, that's why we have Google...  a kind of passionfruit.

Hmm, well do any of those things come in a mailable plastic bottle?  Or should I go out to a Central American market and see if they have guava syrup?  How about melted guava jam?

Edit:  Or maybe you should just send the pancakes and I should buy practically everything they sell on this website: http://www.auntylilikoi.com/

Hey Dawg--you know those prunes that are dried and salty with liquorice spice on them?  What are those called?  I fuck*ng love those.  If there's still time, I might put in an order for a bunch of those.  Most people I know hate them, so when I use them as stucking stuffers, I'll get them back.

My friend just got back from Maui, and forgot them.  My aunt and uncle got back a month ago and brought them though.

I had a Hawaiian friend who was constantly making me sample all sorts of snacks and I concluded that Hawaii has the best fuck*ng snacks ever.

In that case i'll have some snacks.  Send me the bill Dawg.

BTW Dawg, you were commenting on my mixtape a while back and so I ripped some mp3's for you, but you never got back with me.  I never sent a follow up to see if my letter was possibly never recieved.

Man, this sounds really tasty.  I may have to spring for some taro pancake mix and make this Christmas morning for the family.  Whoa, it looks like you make them from scratch?  I think I can manage with the mix.

All this food talk is making me hungry.  And I was eating so healthily this week so far.  Time to go hit up the sisters' fridge.

This is the brand of Taro Pancake Mix I've bought to mail out. Complete with Cocounut or Lilikoi Syrup to seal the deal. I get it at Longs.  !!

I have 4 orders: you know who you are. If you haven't PM'd me shipping info please do so.

There are bonus items (tchotchkes) as a thanks for playing. You will receive endless Christmas Joy from them.

I'm a try to ship this stuff tomorrow. Sorry about the slowness.

For the rest of you: a typical breakfast item here is fried rice. More accurately, Local Kine Fried Rice.

Here's how I make it.

1 can of spam, cubed into small dice (Spam with Bacon is quite good)
Portuguese Sausage
Carrots (cubed)
Peas
Green onions, sliced including some green tops
Diced yellow or sweet red onion
1-2 scrambled eggs
Cold Cooked white rice (sticky rice is common here)


Bottle of Shoyu ( a sweet soy sauce)
Bottle of sesame oil
Bottle of Oyster Sauce
Some vegetable oil

Heat up the oil in your wok. Throw in the sausage, onions and carrots. Toss it all in the hot oil a couple seconds, throw the spam in there too.

When the carrots are softened a little and the onion a little caramelized, turn the rice in and start mixing mixing mixing. Keep tossing it and when all the stuff is mixws together, throw in the eggs and the peas. Mix some more, not letting the bottom burn.

Add Shoyu, Oyseter Sauce and a smaller amount of sesame oil and toss over heat a few seconds.

Eat. For real Culinary excitement, put a big scoop of fried rice in a bowl. Top with a hamburger patty or a slice or two of meatloaf. Top with some pan-fried onions, a ladle or two of brown gravy and a fried egg.

This is called Loco Moco. It'll kill you but you will love every second of it.

Oh I guess I never pm'd you, is it too late?

~Paul

[AlohaDawg]

It is not too late! Do please order.

(Spam with Bacon is quite good)

OMG.  I can't believe this really exists.

[AlohaDawg]

Half an aisle of the grocery store here is Spam products of many kinds.

Portuguese Sausage

God I miss linguica, can't find it anywhere out here in the back woods.  This recipie (as all of yours) sounds tasty, but I do believe that Loco Moco would kill me dead.

As far as I know, all holiday orders were received. The grand experiment worked, and all the stuff arrived before Christmas, if <just> before in some cases (how stuff can take 3 days longer to get to Philly than DC is beyond me, though)

So anyhow, those of you who missed out on the fun excitment of Mele Kalikimaka edibles and tschochkes, PM me and I'll see what we can do. Offer expires new years day (unless you ask hella nicely).
