I saw a program on PBS a couple of nights ago about the Sierras in the
US. People actually climb up those impossibly high peaks just to pitch
a tent. Note: they're usually scientists setting up cameras, tracking
wildlife and ecological changes, not hobbyists.

There are plenty of wild animals (goats, sheep) that can easily scale
mountain peaks like that. None of them provide oxtails for our dinner
table. LOL

I suppose I really should check out the grocery section of the
impossibly huge Walmart one of these days. I just don't like those huge
*superstores*.

I was there on Wednesday to buy cat food and wild bird seed. I had to
walk from one end of the store (lawn & garden) waaaay to the back past
the clothing, men's, women's, girl's, boy's, electronic devices, TV's
and the shoe department just to get to the cat food.

The grocery section is at the other end of the store. It's too darn big.

$5.99 lb. sounds like a good price for oxtails. I'm suprised they had them.

That's the kind of stuff those crazy haoles do! The Koolaus are a fairly daunting presence in the live of people that live on the Windward side. My granddaughter's Hawaiian name means "Heavenly Mist of the Koolaus." Every time we see dinosaur movies and war films, we see the Koolaus. It was kind of cool to see it - the first few times that is.

Well, Ms. O., you've a nice name, too:

https://www.behindthename.com/name/ophelia

'Derived from Greek οφελος (ophelos) meaning "help". This name was probably created by the 15th-century poet Jacopo Sannazaro for a character in his poem 'Arcadia'...'

Here is mine, I never knew this:

https://www.behindthename.com/name/gregory

"English form of Latin Gregorius, which was from the Late Greek name ΓÏηγοÏιος (Gregorios), derived from γÏηγοÏος (gregoros) meaning "watchful, alert". This name was popular among early Christians, being borne by a number of important saints including Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus (3rd century), Saint Gregory the Illuminator (4th century), Saint Gregory of Nyssa (4th century), Saint Gregory of Nazianzus (4th century), and Saint Gregory of Tours (6th century). It was also borne by the 6th-century pope Saint Gregory I the Great, a reformer and Doctor of the Church, as well as 15 subsequent popes.
Due to the renown of the saints by this name, Gregory (in various spellings) has remained common in the Christian world through the Middle Ages and to the present day. It has been used in England since the 12th century. A famous bearer from the modern era was American actor Gregory Peck (1916-2003)...."

So, Ms. O., you are a "helper", and I am a "saint"...it is nice to know you....!!!

Ahhh...there ya go...

One of the "Pope Gregorys" was a louche rotter, too, I discovered...very decadent...

8-O

The Slavic "Grigory" is a common name, several Russians have exclaimed after I met them, "Ah, Grigory...!!!"

I will also add that all the Gregorys I've ever met have been pretty nice and cool people...we are all "characters", but not too bad of a lot...

Anyways, a squalid winter day, but I am making chili, and reading several WWII histories, also have got "Jeopardy" on the telly, and my FAVE show, "Judge Judy" will commence shortly...life is good!

Is it my Google mail, if so will check it...

One thing that both books stress is that when the US entered the war, it was to help our friend "Poor Little Britain"...

[The books are "The Rise of Germany", by James Holland, and "The Second World War", by Victor Davis Hanson ]

In popular US history it is somewhat forgotten that Britain had many strengths, e.g. it was the richest country in Europe, it had a solid armaments manufacturing base, the biggest Empire in the world and with solid supply lines to and from those Commonwealth nations, the largest Navy and merchant marine and thus ability to project power, top - class new technologies (radar, penicillin, cracking the "Enigma" code with computing, the Lancaster and Mosquito bombers, many more...)...not to mention superb military and civilian leadership. And that the UK was dedicated to liberty and freedom...

So the UK was using all resources to battle the Axis, when the US entered our productive capacity provided a "synergy" that beat back the Axis. Germany, Japan, and especially Italy did not have the resources to fight long and far - flung wars on several fronts. it is especially amusing to read how hapless and helpless the Italians were...and Japan decided to declare war on the US, the US had an economy five times the size of Japan's!

Hitler was dismissive of America as a land of "cowboys, Hollywood, and Negro jazz", but when they declared war on us, several in his circle wrote that they were in awe of and in fear of US companies/productive capacity, specifically General Motors and Ford: "If they can produce all those cars, they can produce weapons, too..."

History was on our side, Ms. O....

She got that name from her tutu - grandmother. It's a Hawaiian tradition, evidently. The grandmother mulls over the name for a while and the right name will make it's presence known somehow, typically in a dream.

As a practical matter, I still haven't been able to say the name without stumbling and her name wouldn't fit on her social security card. I'm not sure how they solved that problem.

LOL I wouldn't know about Costco (or Depends).

I don't mind the exercise. I've got two good legs. I don't spend my
time driving around parking lots jockeying for a parking spot closest to
the front door. I'm just not one of those superstore type shoppers. I
have never been shopping for groceries and suddenly decided hey! I need
to buy a pair of shoes!

One of these days I'll check out the other end of the store where they
sell groceries. I never would have thought they'd carry oxtails, which
is where Cheri said she found them for $5.99/lb.

I have to be honest and say that I DO NOT LIKE those huge stores either,
it's very hard to get around and find what you need, but for laundry
products etc., they are just so much cheaper for those items than other
stores so I go about once a month. I feel the same way about Costco and the
like and prefer to shop in smaller supermarkets. Now, Walmart has the
shopping thing which I did try once and was very handy to have it ready for
pickup, but some things I want to see for myself.

I saw them because of the oxtail thread. I never would have noticed them if
not for that since I wouldn't be looking for them as a rule. There were
several packages and also several packages of whole beef tongue, I didn't
buy either one.

I remember many years ago my mother was shopping at the commissary and
when she came home she said she saw the most beautiful looking piece of
beef! She turned it over and the label said "beef tongue". She didn't
buy it. The very idea creeped her out. LOL

I didn't grow up eating oxtail soup/stew. Neither of my parents ever
made it. I have no idea what possessed me to make it (at least 25 years
ago). But mmmmmm, delicious!

There are lots of things I cook that I did not grow up with. There are
also lots of things I grew up with that I don't cook.

I haven't bought oxtails, if I'm going to spend that kind of money, the
packages averaged 12.00 or so, I prefer to buy lamb shanks, but I'm sure
oxtail soup would be very good. I used to like tongue, but I haven't made it
in many years. It doesn't hold much appeal to me anymore, many things don't,
and like you, I make things that I didn't have as a child, but I do make a
lot of things that I did have as a child. We didn't have much processed food
at all in our house in those days.

I love lamb shanks, too. Another thing I didn't grow up eating.

Well, you know my mom hated to cook so she bought instant whatever
whenever she could. I don't blame her. Cooking was just another daily
chore. Sure, take shortcuts. We didn't starve. But it made me want to
learn to try and cook a lot of new (to me) food.

I'd bet you'd like oxtail soup. But if you prefer a stewed lamb shank I
understand that, too!

I'm sure I would like it and may try it one of these first days. I really
don't know or can't remember if mom and grandma made oxtail soup because
they did make a lot of different soups from parts of animals that we
butchered. I don't picture them throwing anything away, so probably did.

She got that name from her tutu - grandmother. It's a Hawaiian tradition,
evidently. The grandmother mulls over the name for a while and the right
name will make it's presence known somehow, typically in a dream.

As a practical matter, I still haven't been able to say the name without
stumbling and her name wouldn't fit on her social security card. I'm not
sure how they solved that problem.

Aww I suppose you have your own name for her)

The windward side is the side of the island that the wind hits first. We are on the Northeast side of Oahu. Typically, the moisture laden air hits the Koolaus and deposits most of the rain on the windward side.

I like to stay out of the kid's business so no. The girl's first name is Japanese, the second English, the third Hawaiian, the last name is the dad's family name which is probably Portuguese. That's a lot of letters to be saddled with.
