With my air popper I seldom have more than 5 "old maids" (split, but not fully "popped") in a full bowl, and that's with cheap "Western Family" brand popcorn.

Air popped, with olive oil (E.V.O.O.!) and salt. Occasionally with chili powder.

For a while I was using olive oil and the green tobasco sauce.

Used to use loads of Lowry's seasoning salt when...

They're some of the worst.

Start off with one bratwurst. The left over juice of the bratwurst is then absorbed into brown rice mixed with steamed fresh green beans, olive oil, tamari, pepper and an herb mix. A little steamed...

Powerline Road (no powerline anymore) on the Saddle. Best native wilderness area on the island.

Army Road (rectangle) off of Stainback Highway in Pu'u Maka'ala NAR. Best easily accessible native...

I always hate that question. Not only because it's a bear to answer, but also because I don't like being lumped into someone's preconception of people who are from one place or another. If I have...

In Hilo the only restaurant I really like is Miyo's, which is simple Japanese type food. Ken's House of Pancakes is fun on occasion - it's not great, just fun and hearty. The waffles at Bear's...

I don't think you can get a 3BR home for $900 a month in Hilo unless it's in the slums and you get the roaches and rats to chip in on the rent. $1200 is the base rate for a 2 bedroom home in Hilo...

No. The drivers are just that bad here.

The real reason for the rental car ban is the rental companies don't want their cars on the mountain and wilderness roads that branch off Saddle Road. ...

It is dead quiet in Hilo. Dead boring, as well. ...zzZZzzzzZZZZzzzZZZZzzz.....

Our office is closed, so I'm going out for some emergency coffee and donuts! :D (essential morning...er, hurricane survival supplies)

Yeah, there was a smaller shake 1-2 seconds before the big woo-woo-woo see-saw hit. I jumped in the doorway like a scalded cat just in time for the biggie, then out in the parking lot for the next 5...

At least for a couple of those the status would be "artery clogging". :eek:

Isn't that defunct? I thought that place was before Clementes, which is also defunct. Some people seem to like Paolo's in Pahoa, if you have the money.

What, don't you people on the West side have a KTA for your groceries?

Target is a Minnesota chain. For many years I shopped at THE original Target store in the northern 'burbs of St. Paul. (ah, beautiful St. Paul...)

Hmmm, November...that could be wet...or maybe not. You never know.

Do you want to see the real hawaii, or the tourist version? Most people just come here to sit on beaches and look at waterfalls...

You need to relocate to Hilo. Seriously.

You have to marvel at the cold immorality of such people, who admit that their only motivation to do "good" is that they believe it was commanded from on-high and they'll get some punishment or...

Ah, the self-important delusions of vain humans, to insist on believing that they have "purpose" or "meaning", or that some powerful metaphysical pseudo-being "loves" them. The feeble mumblings of...

what do you believe?

The birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees, and all the important stuff like that...

do you participate in some sort of organized religion?

My...

Bingo, for better or worse. It's bizarre to live on a chain of islands in the middle of an ocean and you can't get anywhere by boat, unless you happen to own one. Been here 3 years and the only...

A tour of the Waikamoi preserve would have to be the top attraction on Maui. It would also be wonderful to see the native plants in the bog on top of West Maui, but I'm not sure if that's possible...

I lived a couple years in the Park Hill neighborhood before arriving here. Still have my RTD pass here in my desk somewhere... ;)

No, that's Puna.
