Well, I was curious because I’m looking for a ‘retirement job’.
I want to retire, but don’t want to *totally* retire, and be away from people and involvement.
I will never retire, I just want to be “able” to retire.
I would be pissing about now if I did not need a paycheck or income stream LOL
Gnight
Meatloaf?
Pureed soups and veggie dishes?
Custards? Quiche without the crust?
I like smoothies, too: a frozen banana, a handful of frozen strawberries. Toss them into a blender with enough cold apple juice to cover, and whiz until they’re all slushy.
Check out SERVAS, its a good way to see the world on the cheap.
I have never done it but know tons who do
You invite someone to your home, they invite you to
thiers.
Pretty basic
Fresh corn on the cob is something I truly miss about the mainland. In my prime, I could do serious damage to your corn harvest.
Actully Hi has very good food, even the food at BYron’s Drive in makes me misty
Mainland? Where are you at?
Last year, we planted three types of corn. Super sweet, really sweet, and sweet. I never had such amazing corn as pthe super sweet. I think we’re going to do all that this year.
Big Island, Hawaii.
We used to visit my step-grandparents in Maine during summer. Grammie would not let us pick the corn until she had the water boiling. Think my record was something like 16 ears.
The joke is, the adults were all scarfing down fresh Maine lobster, which I would not eat at that age............
Poi = balls of paste, no thanks. Cannot get a taste for it, after eleven years here. Too starchy, lots of other good stuff. Rice and fresh fish are plenty Hawaiian for me.

I came across a local magazine and went on line to look at it. There are some lovely recipes there. I plan to try the artichoke bagel torte for a brunch idea.
Oh boy .... I haven’t had breakfast yet & now all I want is key lime pie! Thanks for the recipe!
That’s OK....pie is a traditional breakfast in New England.
Usually apple pie in the land of Johnny Appleseed.
LIME SORBET MARGARITAS
Add Gold Tequila to a stemmed glass. Fill the glass 2/3 full with citrus-
flavored, carbonated soft drink (like Squirt). Add a scoop of lime sorbet.
Garnish with a sprig of mint and wedge of lime.
============================================
Good to know that lime oil in lime zest has a bit of natural sweetness in it.
That’s why a teaspoon of fresh lime zest is used in this sorbet recipe. This
is also a light dessert or a palate cleanser between courses.
