Hi Dave,

Good, I'm glad all worked out, even tho it meant Sean had to swap out
hard drives. Steve is thinking that his hard drive is beginning to go
so it looks like a new computer is in will be in the house sooner or later.

I have a self-powered hard drive enclosure with a USB interface left
over amd updated from when I had the confuser store. The only time I
had a drive get wobbly on me I bunged a new (larger capacity) drive
into the enclosure and backed up the main drive to it. Then - Presto! Change-0! Bob's your uncle ... reboot the computer with the new drive
and life goes on.

After Steve switched from the C=64 to IBM type computers (first one was
a 286 from military surplus sales) I lost track of what all was needed,
what goes where, etc. Do know that I got a phone survey call about home computers; after verifying we had one, the next question was what
make/model. Well, the printer is X, the keyboard is Y, the monitor is Z...........I think I gave the surveyor a good laugh.

This recipe was selected for the title as well as for its author
credit.

Title: Maui Memory Pizza
Categories: Breads, Pork, Fruits, Vegetables, Cheese
Yield: 2 Servings

I can see where it might be Maui memories for her but I've got other memories of Maui. Eating in the only IHOP in the state, going up to try
to see the sunrise over Haliakala (clouds obscured it at the last
minute), Hawaii-Pacific Baptist Convention, and more but not pizza.

My only time in Hawaii was spent at N.a.S. Barber's Point as we fueled
and serviced the aircraft and fueled and rested the crew preparatory
to making the final jump back to the mainland on our "round the world" training flight. About all I got the see of the world on tht deal was
a lot of water and tops of clouds (water vapor). And the insides of several military aerodromes.

While we were stationed on Oahu, we got to see quite a bit of the
island. Also got over to Maui for the above mentioned convention &
sight seeing, the Big Island for sight seeing (had some tours built
into the package Steve got thru MWR--Morale, Welfare & Recreation) and Kauai for sight seeing (we did a fly/drive long week end). So, we saw a good bit of the state, got to try new to us foods and made lots of good memories. Going back to Oahu over 4th of July week end brought back
quite a few of the latter.

Physically we brought back macadamia nuts, both chocolate covered and garlic/onion flavored, a couple of T shirts, ball caps, forever leis and fabric/buttons (about 4 yards quilted, 14 yards not quilted. Oh, and a
couple of water bottles & puka shell necklaces. Packed all that into one
roller bag; the other one had all the clothes, shoes, etc. On Sunday our
church service was held at a country club club house with a buffet lunch afterward. We got to have pulled pork, pineapple, mac salad and other
Hawaiian goodies but no poi was served. They had enough left overs that families were told to fill take out boxes (make plate) so we had it for
supper as well.

Having red the book Hawaii byJim Michner makes me wish I had been
there pre WWII.

I've read it several times, not exactly accurate but a good read, as
most of his books are.

Hmmmmmmm, wonder what the relationship might be.

Try your search engine. Or Grandma's memory. Bv)=

I did the former, looks like there might be some relationship. Can't
check with Grandma as she passed away some years ago. Steve's dad was
one of her 11 children; I think only one is left now.

Have you ever "Googled" yourself? Some good laughs may be had along
with a feeling of ooutrage if one of your namesakes has been up to "tricks".

Tried it maybe 25 years ago but not since. No interest in doing so
again.

Title: Toast Hawaii
Categories: Breads, Pork, Fruits, Cheese
Yield: 2 Servings

Toast Hawaii was popularized by the German TV Chef
Clemens Wilmenrod in 1955. It became a popular meal in
the German speaking realm throughout the 60s, 70s and
80s. Even Tiptopf has a recipe for Toast Hawaii.

I have vague memories of seeing it on some menus when I went over to Germany in 1975. Did a 3 week trip with my aunt, visiting family and touring some of the country. We moved over there with the military in October, 1986, stayed until July of 1992 with only one trip back to the States for me and the girls. Steve went back a couple of times for schools, was gone almost a year altogether, with only a couple of
months at home between.

As my brother says of his time in the Army - he went where he was sent
and did (mostly) what he was told.

That's the way to do it. Our original plan was 4 years and out, ended up
being 26 years, introduced to lots of new to us foods and parts of the country/world.
