I remember having "bones of the dead" cookies
I forgot our "huesos de santo" bones of saint. Those easter sweets are thin cylinders of bone colored marzipan stuffed with a red cream of sweet potatoes that reminds the bone marrow.

Guacamole, then, is translated literally as "testicle juice"Tell me, B96, did you blush the last time a man gave you an orchid? A man would have to be nuts to do it!

a single orchid?? i'd be disappointed, actually. i prefer to enjoy orchids on their stalks, full of life.

funny you should mention it, though... dendrobiums are high on my list of favorite flowers. i'd bet a lei that wow would agree.

May 1st indeed is Lei Day in Hawai'i !! What a beautiful display of imaginative lei on display at Kapiolani Park , should you happen to be there on that day.
One year I had a jade plant lei. Gorjus against a pale bue mu'umu'u ... like the sea surrounding us. (Long, Deep, Sigh of Longing -e)
You may order Dendrobium lei delivered by air from Mauna Loa catalogue,
As for me, I have two lovely lei of silk so real looking people want to touch and always ask "Is that real?"! One orchid, one ginger. Expensive available in Hawai'i only, leastaways I haven't seen them anywhere else.
By the way no plural in Hawaiian (tenuous word-related try)
one lei is a lei, ten lei are still lei.

The origin of yodeling is interesting. One evening while trudging his weary way between Swiss villages, a travelling ski wax salesman got caught in a blizzard. He sought shelter at a farmhouse, and the Farmer and wife allowed him to stay, but as the only sleeping accomodation was alongside the two delightful daughters, the farmer made him promise not to touch them. The next morning the farmer checks on his daughters, and finds them lying in disarray with smiles on their faces. He rushes outside and sees the salesman just about to disappear over the hill, and yells after him "You broke your promise! You slept with my daughters!" And the salesman's voice sings back across the valley "And your old lady too!"

Just watch on old Western movie, the ones with the singing cowboys, and you'll notice that they yodeled because they hadn't waxed the splintery seat planks on the wagons.
