Around here we had the manapua man. This was some old Chinese guy selling
filled meat buns and what would be called dim sum on the mainland. He didn't
have a horse. He had to carry large tin cans of food using a bamboo pole on
his shoulder. Using a horse would be way too easy. We like to do things the
hard way over here.

Most people don't know about that manapua man. When I was a kid, I saw that guy come down our street a couple of times. Beats the heck out of me what he was doing there. Our street was in the middle of nowhere. He must have been lost! :)
The manapua man that most people know these days now drives a food truck. We were lucky because we've always had a manapua truck stop right in front of our condo. How perfect is that? Mostly I'd get steamed buns filled with pork, little steamed pork hash, friend chicken, crispy won ton, and a can of soda. The kids would get candy and ice cream.
Those old guys carrying the metal cans had a hard life. Even today, with the food trucks, it's still a very hard life. but those guys make our lives on this rock pretty darn awesome.

lately as little as possible, but i normally do the
dishes and cook a little here or there. perhaps a half
hour to an hour total.
 
tomorrow or the next day i'll have a bit of a project
to do so i'll be in the kitchen a bit more for that.

I would use that extra time to post stupid questions on Usenet.
Definitely time well spent not only for the entertainment value but
also for the intangible benefit to society.

It is a new one alright. Also new to me is the occupation of the culturally
British island of Guernsey by the Germans during WWII. The potato peel pie
was in response to the terrible food shortages during the occupation. I
learned about this from a movie.

which would you prefer flour fried with butter based or
corn starch based?
 
i have all the ingredients and i've made both kinds
before and i prefer the flour and butter kind.
 
or is there some other method/ingredients you'd
use to make chocolate pudding?
 
Mom brought home five more bananas and we'll need
to eat them up sooner rather than later and one way
she will eat them is if they're sliced in chocolate
pudding.
 
and, yes, my google isn't broken, but i thought it
an interesting topic for the group.

Eww to both. How about egg yolk based. I've never heard of a roux
based pudding.

I have a bag of creme brulee mix that uses carrageenan as a thickening agent. There's no eggs and it's not set by heat. Just heat the mix until it starts to boil and cook for about a minute. That's it. Super fast and it makes the best creme brulee ever. It's a German product.

i love peaches, apricots, mangoes, and, well a lot of other
fruits besides, but we don't really get very good ones that
often. the best fruit i get here are the strawberries i grow
and the blueberries when they come in season, but this past
year the blueberries were really bad quality-wise. i think due
to the virus the pickers just weren't experienced or paid well
or whatever it was but they just were ick too much of the time.
we still ate them, but i had to work through the cartons a lot
to get the decent berries apart from the others that were in
bad shape. one carton was so bad it had fruit fly maggots in
it, but i got the apart and we ate what we could.
 
anyways, back to mangoes, yeah, i could eat a lot more of
them than i do now.

nah, i'd have to do the salsa on the side as a chutney
instead. i don't really want those on the fish as it
would mask too much of the flavor of the fish.

The mango here during mango season are large and totally awesome. I think the smell comes from the tree sap. Some mango are strong with that taste and some are not. I can understand your disdain for it. I don't like that smell in olive oil.
My parents have a tree at their house. One day, I'd like to build a tree house in that strange, low, tree.

Oooh. Conduit. Posh. We just have romex pulled through holes
drilled in the ceiling joists.
 
Now I'll lie awake nights, daydreaming of conduit.

nobody gives a flying fuck whether you got your stupid job or not.

It's like when Michael Jackson did his 'moonwalk' dance. By cleverly
moving his feet and head opposite to what a normal sniff requires, he
gives the impression that he is backing off, but he is actually getting
in a tiny sniff with almost every word.
 
Pay closer attention, Hank. You only noticed him being an ass-hole
himself, but he actually accomplished a double sniff which you completely
missed. I thought you were the expert on this, but it appears that you
need some mentoring.
 
Try reading his words backwards in slow motion; you'll see.

Nope, not even! 80mi was what I got at first in 2016 and now in 2021 I get about 70mi range. Not bad at al! Gets me everywhere in town I need to go and back, and since I have a L2 charging in my garage, I just plug in when IN get home and she's all ready to do it again nest time.
 
And I very rarely spend any $$ on gasoline at all. HA!
