Not again. Smoke in the distance. The traffic jam was because the Honolulu Police Department had to close of H1. According to KGMB TV: The fire’s direction of travel and proximity to the H-2 freeway has caused the HFD to request that the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) close the Northbound H-2 freeway at the H-1 and H-2 merge.
This time we could see the flames from our window.
My mother was oblivious to it all. She didn't want to leave her nishime dish that she was busy nurturing. We told her to make a lot because my brother loves this Japanese stew as well as Art's cousin. She had to use the big pot but then couldn't look into it so she needed the ladder to make sure her epicurean delight was looking just so. Does she have a recipe? I've never seen it. One of these days, I'll just have to watch her and write it all down.
Lucky to have a wonderful grandma in your household, Kay!

It's scary seeing your mom on a ladder. Hope she is careful...maybe she needs to cook smaller portions. I would definitely get her recipe. We have many fires here, as it been very dry and the air has been smokey but last night we got some needed rain.
ReplyDeleteYou're Mom must love to cook. You are all so lucky to have each other!
ReplyDeleteScary pictures of the fires, you still must be low on rain!
Stay safe !
I hope your fires are put out by now and are not developing into something California-style, God forbid.
ReplyDeleteYour mother is such a trooper. Nothing stops her.
Your Mom is marvelous! I just bet her food is fantastic! Stay safe and hope the fires stay away! It's been so dry here this summer that I'm surprised we haven't had more problems with forest fires, but so far, so good!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your weekend and give you Mom a hug for me!

hi, yr mum is real nice in preparing that dish.
ReplyDeleteMom cooking..the picture is very cute and yes getting her recipe is a good idea.The fire flames look very scary but i know by this time it is already under control.Be Safe and enjoy momma's Japanese Stew.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and love the step stool!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that on the national news they don't talk about the fires in Hawaii, just California. Hmmm...Stay safe.
I like your mother more every time you post about her--she reminds me of mine today! I hope you get the recipe someday.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile those fires are getting scary; I wouldn't like to be able to see the flames so close. Over here we burn our weeds and rushes and even trash all the time; nobody worries about the fires spreading on an island this cold and wet. I'm really beginning to think we're in the *wrong* ocean here...
I hate seeing fires like that. I have seen way too many this summer. I don't want to see anymore! I pray you will get plenty of rain to douse that one out!
ReplyDeleteI could really use your mom around here!! =)
scary about the fires,Kay, do you guys have insurance? Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteYour mom is so agile, wow. Better get that recipe.
The fires are so very scary. I hadn't heard about them in Hawaii either. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of your mother is priceless! I love it!!!
I was surprised to see/ hear of fires in Hawaii. Forest fires are a very serious problem here in the northwest, but as dry as it has been, we have not yet had the huge fires we often do. Of course there is still time. We are gettin rain now which will lessen the danger.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with Lin that the photo of your mom on her step stool leaning over the stove is scary too. Hopefully she still has good balance! It's obvious she has determination!
Oh gosh, that is awful about the fires. I feel very badly for those who are displaced by them. As for the photo of your mom, I loved it!! She is amazing! It made me smile. I couldn't help but worry about her slipping and that big pot of hot ingredients spilling....I know, I know Moms are like that, very independent!
ReplyDeleteP.S. And I love the title of the post!!
ReplyDeleteThose kind of recipe´s are always the best!
ReplyDeleteIt must be so great having your mom make that dish for you all!
Kay, I hope the fires get put out soon! I had to laugh at your Mom with her dish she was creating! She must really love to cook!
ReplyDeleteOr get her on video and that would be really great to have Kay...
