Aloha from ...

kaneohegirlinaz said:
ā€¦ Well, I wish it was from my hometown of Kaneohe Oahu Hawaii, but DH and I retired for public service and moved to Arizona. The paycheck that we get at the beginning of each month goes a heck of a lot farther here.
So, my user name, Kaneohegirlinaz, that says a lot about me.
Iā€™m from Kaneohe
Iā€™m a girl
And I now live in Arizonaā€¦ get the pun? :)
But please, donā€™t call me Kane, that means MAN in my language ā€¦ Iā€™m a Wahine (that'a Hawaiian for Gal), HA!
My friends call me K~girl.
Iā€™ve cooked for as long as I could reach the stove (as my Mother would say) and have always had that enjoyment, I wonā€™t say passion; I like to make people happy through food. Sometimes, itā€™s a memory that the dish induces through the smell, the taste, or how it looks on the plate.
For me, I just have to have a hot lunch, thatā€™s how I grew up. In school, we NEVER had a hamburger or Pizza or Chicken Nuggets (those werenā€™t invented yet).
My husband and I spend our time discovering America, we love car trips. Having lived our lives on Oahu, the ā€œMainlandā€ is a BLAST!
I hope to meet as many liked minded ā€œHome Expertsā€ here as I can.

You have to get used to a very common language here... British. It's like American, but with a bunch of different words. :laugh:

Just to confuse, I tend to add in a lot of Scots words and foods (tatty scones, square sausage and dumpling (fried suet fruitcake) was a favourite childhood meal) and now I mix in Australian with that... (so avo, sano, veggies, chooks, beanette (no idea... they look like string beans to me) and so on... So I'm British but with Australian thrown in and if you thought British English hard to keep up with Australian English is even harder mostly guesswork. lol.

Kuke Hawaii? No, I don't know much Hawaiian, just a few things, enough to be dumb about it.

Aloha Ahiahi, Good Evening. There's another Hawaiian phrase for you to use. (ahi-say it like the Tuna šŸ¤“ )

I believe off Kauai, the Hawaiians try to maintain their pure blood lineage and preserved language on the 'forbidden island' Ni'ihau. Some folks mistake Kauai for that forbidden island, but Kauai is very mixed population.

I went to school (a school only for children of Hawaiian descent, funded by the World's wealthiest Trust/Estate btw) with some of the kids from Ni'ihau (heh! pretty good punctuation there!)
Yes they are all 100% Hawaiian blood and yes, it is off Kaua'i.

I am now intrigued and want to know more about this Old World that you all escaped from.

Also, hello! For the first time probably.

There's only a hand full of "food forums" out there in the WWW, I too am familiar with some of the folks here at CB.
