Hi Dave,

Good, I'm glad all worked out, even tho it meant Sean had to swap out
hard drives. Steve is thinking that his hard drive is beginning to go
so it looks like a new computer is in will be in the house sooner or later.

I have a self-powered hard drive enclosure with a USB interface left
over amd updated from when I had the confuser store. The only time I
had a drive get wobbly on me I bunged a new (larger capacity) drive
into the enclosure and backed up the main drive to it. Then - Presto! Change-0! Bob's your uncle ... reboot the computer with the new drive
and life goes on.

After Steve switched from the C=64 to IBM type computers (first one was
a 286 from military surplus sales) I lost track of what all was needed,
what goes where, etc. Do know that I got a phone survey call about home computers; after verifying we had one, the next question was what
make/model. Well, the printer is X, the keyboard is Y, the monitor is Z...........I think I gave the surveyor a good laugh.

This recipe was selected for the title as well as for its author
credit.

Title: Maui Memory Pizza
Categories: Breads, Pork, Fruits, Vegetables, Cheese
Yield: 2 Servings

I can see where it might be Maui memories for her but I've got other memories of Maui. Eating in the only IHOP in the state, going up to try
to see the sunrise over Haliakala (clouds obscured it at the last
minute), Hawaii-Pacific Baptist Convention, and more but not pizza.

My only time in Hawaii was spent at N.a.S. Barber's Point as we fueled
and serviced the aircraft and fueled and rested the crew preparatory
to making the final jump back to the mainland on our "round the world" training flight. About all I got the see of the world on tht deal was
a lot of water and tops of clouds (water vapor). And the insides of several military aerodromes.

While we were stationed on Oahu, we got to see quite a bit of the
island. Also got over to Maui for the above mentioned convention &
sight seeing, the Big Island for sight seeing (had some tours built
into the package Steve got thru MWR--Morale, Welfare & Recreation) and Kauai for sight seeing (we did a fly/drive long week end). So, we saw a good bit of the state, got to try new to us foods and made lots of good memories. Going back to Oahu over 4th of July week end brought back
quite a few of the latter.

Physically we brought back macadamia nuts, both chocolate covered and garlic/onion flavored, a couple of T shirts, ball caps, forever leis and fabric/buttons (about 4 yards quilted, 14 yards not quilted. Oh, and a
couple of water bottles & puka shell necklaces. Packed all that into one
roller bag; the other one had all the clothes, shoes, etc. On Sunday our
church service was held at a country club club house with a buffet lunch afterward. We got to have pulled pork, pineapple, mac salad and other
Hawaiian goodies but no poi was served. They had enough left overs that families were told to fill take out boxes (make plate) so we had it for
supper as well.

Having red the book Hawaii byJim Michner makes me wish I had been
there pre WWII.

I've read it several times, not exactly accurate but a good read, as
most of his books are.

Try your search engine. Or Grandma's memory. Bv)=

I did the former, looks like there might be some relationship. Can't
check with Grandma as she passed away some years ago. Steve's dad was
one of her 11 children; I think only one is left now.

Have you ever "Googled" yourself? Some good laughs may be had along

We moved over there with the military in October, 1986, stayed until July of 1992 with only one trip back to the States for me and the girls. Steve went back a couple of times for schools, was gone almost a year altogether, with only a couple of
months at home between.

As my brother says of his time in the Army - he went where he was sent

That's the way to do it. Our original plan was 4 years and out, ended up
being 26 years, introduced to lots of new to us foods and parts of the country/world.

Title: Baked Spaghetti
Categories: Pasta, Pork, Mushrooms, Vegetables, Cheese
Yield: 9 Servings

3/4 lb Vermicelli or thin spaghetti
1 lb Italian sausage
1/4 lb Shiitake or cremini
- mushrooms; rough chopped
1 md Onion; chopped
2 cl Garlic; minced
1/4 ts Red pepper flakes
3 c Marinara or meatless tomato
- sauce *
1 1/2 c Water
1 tb Italian seasoning
1/4 c Chopped fresh parsley
1 tb Olive oil + more to grease
- the casserole
1 c Grated Parmesan cheese
2 lg Eggs; beaten
1 c Ricotta cheese
2 c (to 3 c) shredded mozzarella
- cheese

* You can make your own or use a good quality jarred
sauce. (Like Rao's or Onofrio's - UDD)

Put a large pot of water on the stove on high heat. Add
salt to the water, about 2 Tbsp for 6 quarts of water.
While the pasta water is heating, continue with the next
steps.

Break up the sausage into clumps into a large sauté pan.
Turn the heat on, to medium. Slowly cook the sausage,
breaking it up into smaller pieces with the a wooden
spoon. The slow cooking will help the fat render out. Cook
until the sausage is cooked through, no longer pink
anywhere, and lightly browned. Remove the sausage from the
pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain the fat from
the pan (not into your sink or you may clog it!)

Add the chopped onions and mushrooms to the pan. Increase
the heat to medium high. Cook, stirring frequently, until
the onions become translucent and the mushrooms have given
up some of their liquid. Add the minced garlic and red
chile pepper flakes, and cook a minute more.

Add the marinara sauce and the 1 1/2 cups of water to the
pan with the onions and mushrooms. Add the sausage back to
the pan. Add the Italian seasoning and chopped parsley.
Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to a very low simmer
on the lowest simmer setting on your stovetop. Cook for 10
to 15 minutes or so while you make the pasta.

By this time your pasta water in step one should be
boiling. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook,
uncovered, at a rolling boil, for 5 to 6 minutes, al
dente. Note that the pasta will continue to cook and
absorb some of the sauce when it is in the casserole dish
in the oven, so the pasta should be al dente. When ready,
drain the pasta and rinse in cold water.

Place the cooled pasta in a large bowl. Toss with olive
oil, then the Parmesan, then 2 beaten eggs. It's easiest
to do this with your (clean) hands.

Set your oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

Rub the inside of a 13" x 9" casserole dish (a Pyrex dish
works great) with olive oil. Spread 1 cup of the sauce
over the bottom of the casserole dish.

Place half of the pasta in an even layer in the casserole
dish.

Cover with half of the sauce. Then dot the sauce with all
of the ricotta cheese. Sprinkle half of the Mozzarella
over the ricotta layer. Layer again with the remaining
pasta, the remaining sauce, and the remaining Mozzarella.

Cover with foil and bake for 40 min at 350ºF/175ºC.

Remove the foil and bake an additional 20 minutes
uncovered. Remove from oven and let rest for at least 10
minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Yield: Serves 8 to 10

Hi Dave,

and life goes on.

After Steve switched from the C=64 to IBM type computers (first one was
a 286 from military surplus sales) I lost track of what all was needed, what goes where, etc. Do know that I got a phone survey call about home computers; after verifying we had one, the next question was what make/model. Well, the printer is X, the keyboard is Y, the monitor is Z...........I think I gave the surveyor a good laugh.

When I had the confuser store (Megabyte Computer Works) the 286 was
the hot item in the MessyDos side of things. And my Amigas would run circles around them. Especially for graphics and desktop publishing
stuff. But

When we were stationed in Germany (October 1986-July 1992), Commodores
were the big computer being pushed by the PX until the last few months
or so. Then they gradually started phasing in the IMBs and Macintoshs so
that by the time we left, the Commodores had been all but discontinued.
We used ours a couple more years before doing the switch over. But, in
the time we had it, we impressed my dad with the sound and graphics capabilities; he started with Tandy products, don't know when he changed
over.

Even though this Dell has the model (Optiplex 7020) emblazoned on the upper right front of the tower I'd have to either search the manual or
use the Bing search to tell you what processor it uses or the size of
the memory and/or hard drive.

I use an HP laptop for this, some other work, a net book (forget the
brand) for other things.

Kauai for sight seeing (we did a fly/drive long week end). So, we saw a good bit of the state, got to try new to us foods and made lots of good memories. Going back to Oahu over 4th of July week end brought back
quite a few of the latter.

Physically we brought back macadamia nuts, both chocolate covered and garlic/onion flavored, a couple of T shirts, ball caps, forever leis
and fabric/buttons (about 4 yards quilted, 14 yards not quilted. Oh,
and a couple of water bottles & puka shell necklaces. Packed all that
into one roller bag; the other one had all the clothes, shoes, etc. On Sunday our church service was held at a country club club house with a buffet lunch afterward. We got to have pulled pork, pineapple, mac
salad and other Hawaiian goodies but no poi was served. They had enough left overs that families were told to fill take out boxes (make plate)
so we had it for supper as well.

You guys do waaaaaay more "merch" than I ever did. I might get
something I can use in my everyday life, like a T-shirt with something commemorative on it. Or a regional cookbook like the one I picked up

The leis and most of the nuts were gifts of the church, bought the
shirts and caps to commemorate the church's anniversary. Fabric and
buttons easier (and less expensive) to get over there. Water bottles so
we could take water on the planes; instead of buying expensive water at
the airport, we just fill these from fountins after going thru security. They're stowed with our roller bags at home. Puka shell necklaces were a
just for fun item. Steve had one years ago from when his mom & dad went
(before we were married), don't know what happened to it.

Toast Hawaii was popularized by the German TV Chef
Clemens Wilmenrod in 1955. It became a popular meal in
the German speaking realm throughout the 60s, 70s and
80s. Even Tiptopf has a recipe for Toast Hawaii.

I have vague memories of seeing it on some menus when I went over to Germany in 1975. Did a 3 week trip with my aunt, visiting family and touring some of the country. We moved over there with the military in October, 1986, stayed until July of 1992 with only one trip back to the States for me and the girls. Steve went back a couple of times for schools, was gone almost a year altogether, with only a couple of
months at home between.

As my brother says of his time in the Army - he went where he was sent
and did (mostly) what he was told.

That's the way to do it. Our original plan was 4 years and out, ended
up being 26 years, introduced to lots of new to us foods and parts of
the country/world.

Phil volunteered his draft and as a thanks the army sent him to
Vietnam. He's a very lucky man. Only one of his squad from basic that
made it home more-or-less intact.

Steve had a high enough draft number that he escaped that mess. Both his
and my brothers missed it also. Afterward, before we got married, he
debated the Navy at one point but decided against it at the time. When
he did enlist, the Army was his best option.

I had visions of making the Navy a career - but, raging hormones got
in the way. I was in lust (I thought it was love) when time to re-up
came
around ... and I know if I signed on again I'd be sent to Spain or
Greece. So, I listened to the wrong head and stayed in Memphis ...
turning down a U$10,000 reenlistment bonus (in 1962 dollars).

We were married, had 2 kids and a dog when Steve enlisted. He was able
to get a bonus several times he re-enlisted, forget how much but it was
nice.

A case of "Too soon old. Too late smart!" if ever their was one. Still I've had a pretty good life and even if I whine once in a while my
heart isn't in it.

I was somewhat skeptical when Steve enlisted but it turned out to be one
of the best choices he ever made.
