    For those here who get a three-day weekend for Memorial
    Day, what are you dinner plans? Being retired, I have
    a 7 days a week weekend. 😁

    I've prepared some baked beans and have some potato
    salad ready to go and will be trotting across the
    alley tonight. My neighbor is grilling and has
    asked me over. At the risk of Bryan's blood pressure
    erupting like the Old Faithful geyser she informed
    me she is also cooking a couple chicken breasts
    for two meals for herself this weekend.

    No Memorial Day here. Our holiday weekend was last week when we did
    Victoria Day AKA Firecracker Day AKA May Two Four in honour of that
    case of 24 beer that will be consumed.

    I've prepared some baked beans and have some potato
    salad ready to go and will be trotting across the
    alley tonight.  My neighbor is grilling and has

    Tonight there is some sort of fish for my wife and skewered shrimp for
    me. Tomorrow will be hamburgers and, hopefully, it will be warm enough
    and dry enough for them to be done on the BBQ.

    I don't know about Sunday. We usually do something special on Sundays
    but Monday is out anniversary and we are going out for dinner. Our son
    and DiL gave us some gift certificates for one of our favourite
    restaurants.

    Last night we had some ube/sweet potato noodles with coconut cream sauce
    and some macadamia nut crusted fish. The fish was okay but nobody's
    saying what kind of fish it was.

    It was probably gar fish, Uncle.

    They're actually pretty good when served up asian style with some
    roasted cat, with noodles and rice, all drenched with soyu and fish sauce.

    I like a few hiwaiian flowers on top as a garnish.

    I've see that often in Chinese restaurants. And when they just say
    "fish", it's probably tilapia. Cheap is as cheap does.

    I've got a 4 day weekend for Memorial Day since my typical work schedule doesn't include Fridays. Dinner tonight was a pan fried catfish fillet
    (the usual dredged in seasoned flour/egg wash/cornmeal) and steamed
    fresh asparagus.

    I'm not sure about Memorial Day. I was invited to a cookout on Monday
    but it's supposed to rain heavily so I don't see that happening.

    It's definitely not tilapia and it's definitely not cheap. My guess it's swai/basa. It's called "fish" - just be happy about it. I'm planning to
    eat ahi tonight, extra garlic, please.

    Basa is pangasius, the other super cheap fish.

    You're the one who said "but nobody's saying what kind of fish it
    was." Asian "fish"? That's basa or tilapia. Cheap is as cheap does.

    I'd much prefer ahi to "fish".

    https://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/25/fc/c2/ea/macadamia-crusted-fish.jpg

    Living in the birth region of the macadamia nut, I'd love to try that.
    I had snapper with mango once, after a recipe by Rick Stein, and even
    though it sounds weird it was very nice.

    No food plans for the holiday weekend. We'll just eat what
    we usually eat.

    Yesterday I had a salad with grilled skinless, boneless chicken
    breast on it for dinner. Lunch was vegetable soup.

    On Memorial Day itself, our only plan is to clean the maple seeds
    out of the gutters on the house. Easy-peasy (relatively speaking)
    with the leaf-blower attachment my husband made out of some Schedule 20
    PVC. Bonus for having a single-story house: we don't have to climb
    ladders to maintain the gutters.

    Swai is another sketchy fish farmed in Vietnam.

    Sketchy and cheap, in other words "fish" on menus of certain
    restaurants.

    My guess is that if it's called "fish", it's better to not ask too many questions. I thought the fish was pretty tasty. It's what the world
    needs at the moment - a sustainable white fish.

    I'm pretty sure the ahi I had last night was from the Pacific Ocean. It
    was from L&L Drive Inn. The cook understood the meaning of "extra
    garlic."

    Swai fish (also known as pangasius, basa, or iridescent shark) is
    generally not considered a sustainable seafood choice, particularly
    when it comes from large-scale industrial farms in Vietnam, where most
    of it is produced.

    I had these put on my gutters about 15+/- years ago. My

    and says my gutters are clean as a whistle with these on

    There are companies that will install these, but I got mine

    I have something similar on mine. I installed them the year that I fell
    off the overhang while going up to clean the gutters. I had them on for
    about 10 years before I had that huge branch fall on my house. The
    insurance covered the cost of repairs which involved ripping off the
    shingles, repairing a few holes in the plywood sheath, and they
    replaced all the soffit, fascia, gutters, downspouts and the gutter
    guards. I checked a couple spots last year and they are still clean.

    It depends on what you consider sustainable. It sure sounds sustainable

    Best to avoid this "fish":

    Coney Island Whitefish - definition:

    https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Coney%20Island%20Whitefish

    A used condom that floats in water such as near a pier, or floating by

    We have leaf filters. The maple seeds are just too heavy and

    They also collect in the valleys of the cross-gable, so they

    I'm a fan of "Silver Queen" myself. It's white corn and
    as far I'm concerned, completely different from yellow
    corn.

    From the internet:

    Silver Queen Corn is an American variety of sweet corn with
    white kernels and a sugary taste. It has a light yellow-white
    color and thin, tender kernels that are especially sweet when
    cooked. The cultivar was first grown in 1880 by William Bates,
    who named it after his daughter Queenie (or “Silver Queen”).
    It is revered for its long harvest season and plump, sweet
    kernels. Unlike newer “sugary enhanced” sweet corn cultivars,
    Silver Queen has a milder sugar content. The plant produces
    large ears with white and yellow kernels.

    The Silver Queen I buy only has white kernels, no mixing
    of yellow in the ears.

    And Silver Queen corn is not genetically modified.

    Maybe I have to talk to my artificially intelligent acquaintance about
    this.

    Corn that is eaten as a (reasonably) fresh vegetable is "sweet" corn.
    It's harvested at an immature stage, so its sugar content is higher
    and its seed coat is softer.

    "Dent" corn is used for animal feed and as feedstock for industrial
    processes such as ethanol or high-frucose corn syrup manufacture. It's
    also used for cornmeal, grits, polenta, and masa harina.

    A third type, "flint" corn, is grown in much lower quantities. Popcorn
    is flint corn, as is the colored corn used as autumnal decorations.

    Ok, thanks. And dent corn is the one that's often GMO.

    Maybe I have to talk to my artificially intelligent acquaintance about
    this.

    Corn that is eaten as a (reasonably) fresh vegetable is "sweet" corn.
    It's harvested at an immature stage, so its sugar content is higher
    and its seed coat is softer.

    "Dent" corn is used for animal feed and as feedstock for industrial
    processes such as ethanol or high-frucose corn syrup manufacture. It's
    also used for cornmeal, grits, polenta, and masa harina.

    A third type, "flint" corn, is grown in much lower quantities. Popcorn
    is flint corn, as is the colored corn used as autumnal decorations.

    it is also good to note for people who don't understand that
    if you have GMO corn growing around non-GMO heirloom corn
    varieties that you have to be very careful to avoid cross-
    contamination of the GMO varieties ending up in the non-GMO
    varieties.

    this can be done by having very different maturity dates
    so that while one is pollination it doesn't mess with the
    others.

    since this is not always possible you will find that many
    hierloom varieties are going extinct and even Mexico is
    losing many of their varieties.

    industrial agriculture is rather brutal.

    aside from those reasons we don't grow corn here at all as
    the fields around us are often growing GMO corn and then we
    have so many raccoons that trying to grow sweet corn is an
    exercise in futility. we'd need electric fencing of very
    high quality to protect the crop if we wanted to get any
    results.

    Maybe his artificially intelligent friend can tell him what he has

    he has a problem with cheese, too.

    I only have something against meat and steamed asparagus, Biddy.

    Don't forget about Aloha Shoyu and loco moco. I suppose you can also
    kick in Nutella, Kewpie mayo, ketchup, "fish", corn, corn syrup, HFCF,
    Spam, Spam musubi, poi, and Hawaiian plate lunch. There's other stuff
    but it's mostly anything you can name. You probably don't like bowling
    and toddlers too.

    Who likes products with crap additives? Who, except you?

    PS: I don't know what the problem is with Nutella, ketchup, corn, poi
    and Hawaiian plate lunch. They come from your confused brain. I don't
    even know what Hawaiian plate lunch is, except that it's probably
    served in plastic with plastic cutlery, because Hawaiians are so
    humble.
