A Very Sticky Situation
How do you like your fish? Fried,baked,broiled,or raw? Certainly not covered with molasses. By now via the internet, the whole world has heard about the spill of 1,400 tons of molasses into Honolulu Harbor. I am quite sure that the Hawaiians would never have dreamed of this happening. Thousands of fish have died. The dead fish are scooped up in nets. And that is about all that can be done. There isn't at present any method or machinery to do the job. Unlike an oil spill, which can be skimmed off the surface of the water, molasses sinks to the bottom. From what I read, the problem will be with us for some time.
I propose two principal uses which should keep molasses where it properly belongs. First, molasses can be slathered all over the sides of ribs. And second, molasses, when modified, can be placed in a tall glass, mixed with ice cubes and Coca Cola. Drinking two or more of these will cause you to be happy, and the fish will be too.
Connie Revisited
In my recent feature about Connie I failed to mention her contribution to condo culture. It is a long trip from my small butt-size kitchen to the lanai. Serving dishes, plates, and all the rest must be carried to the table on the lanai. And then it all must be carried back to the kitchen. One fine day Connie suggested that we fill our plates in kitchen, then carry them to the table. Members of our tribe now do this. It is known as "The Connie Method." You probably better know this method as a buffet. The Chinese call it Dim Sum, and the Swedish have a name for it, which I can't spell. Some exceptions to the use of the "Connie Method" are places without lanais, such as igloos and Yurts.
