I think Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. once wrote a story in which all of Hawaii is owned by 50 people, so the Hawaiian government gives everyone else a helium balloon to float above the Earth in so they can continue living there without trespassing on private property.

It takes pretty much a whole day but 'the road to hana' is my favorite thing to do on maui.

I think that story was in Breakfast of Champions, but it's been a really long time since I read it.

As usual, ralph oversimplifies and gets wrong my response. I know a LOT about Hawaii, and have not kept up with their sugar production.
So what? minor point. ralph and jimb tries to make another mountain out of a molehill of minutia.

And you were wrong AGAIN, ralph. Admit it, you know little about Western culture. You were wrong about much, including Ireland, and now Hawaii.

Tourism dollars pays the bills. How many people eat macadamia? Why else go to Hawaii? Pineapple, anyone?? I am sure ralph cannot swim, and both he and jimb cannot surf. I doubt neither has been to Hawaii, but claim to be experts on the state. What LOSERS they both are.

I keep hearing about the road to Hana, but I was only there like five days or so.

1. MrSwdke is a complete waste of skin and, as usual, was simply being a facetious ass.

2. You said sugarcane was also the biggest industry along with tourism.

3. You were totally wrong.

I believe we're done here.

KB wins this thread.

The list of topics you're an expert in is very long and varied, this is true.

Claiming to be an expert on a subject, while making errors about the subject he’s claiming to be an expert on… while simultaneously stating that Ralph and I “claimed” to be experts on the State.

=D>

Please show me any sentence or post where either Ralph or I claimed such expertise.

I know a LOT about gravity, but am not entirely sure what it is or how it works.

I've been to Kauai over 30 times. Haven't bought macadamias in 20 years :lol:

most don't know

And your analogy is ridiculous, irrelevant, and trivial

It's best to lie on your side and insert them at least four inches or so before depositing.

I eat macadamias whenever I find them.

They're not often available in Canada except in specialty candy shops and at outrageous prices.

jimb tries to make a mountain out of a molehill to puff up his ego. I stated NO such thing.

Should I add LIAR to the list of character flaws of jimb NOW?

I love macadamias as well, but they have a high oil content and oil in nuts often goes rancid when they sit on store shelves too long (sadly they often stay there until they are sold because people don't think nuts go bad). It's about 3-5 months at room temp for macs, and due to the high price and low turnover this is the main reason they aren't stock regularly in grocers out your way.

I use them alot making poke, and sometimes cookies.

by **KoolBak** on Mon Jun 12, 2023 3:55 pm

We make a ton of poke...never put nuts in it....hmmmm

Scored some beautiful bluefin last week....

In hawaii they use kukui nuts (inamona but it's just crushed kukui nuts), but they are impossible to find on the mainland... so macs are the next closest. Doesn't add a ton to flavor but adds a bit of texture I really enjoy (and macs have great mono-unsaturated fat!)

Cool. I mostly just dig it straight, sashimi / maguro style.

Love a classic poke; son loves experimenting.

My fave dining on the isle is going to the little total local markets that will have an entire deli / cold case of various fresh pokes, snacks, seafood. So much bizarre shit for haoles :lol:

Do that several times a week...love it.

Found a pic from last ? trip...
