Yum!  I would have eaten any of those fabulous choices.  But, Merly, you didn't eat your birthday hijiki!    


Gorgeous beloveds, gorgeous breakfasts, gorgeous bilder, gorgeous Brokiebration!

Gorgeous font, too, Elle! 

You have sharp eyes.  Yes, me no big hijiki fan.

It was a lot of fun! Jenny and Meryl and I had a blast!

Thank you all, Mikaela, Mouk, Kelda, Belbb, Elle-issima, Penthesilea (where can I get that cake? Yum!)

Thank you most of all, Meryl--as, I certainly AM 'so assimilated'--by the way, did the Old Lady in Candide mention whether she had lost the left or the right buttock? Just wondering....

(--also by the way--shame!-- I've never before heard of 'hijiki'--now I must go to wikipedia and the dictionary. How do you say 'hijiki' in French? Hah!)

Beats me.  How do you say it in English?    I think it's Japanese, a kind of seaweed - or sea vegetable, as is more "correct" these days.  It's not my favorite kind of sea vegetable, but I would eat it for the minerals in it.

We live in a wonderful new world of information access!

Hijiki
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijiki

"--Hijiki or Hiziki (Hizikia fusiformes) is a brown sea vegetable growing wild on rocky coastlines around Japan, Korea, and China. Its two names, which are examples of ateji, mean deer-tail grass and sheep-nest grass respectively.--"

Go to the English-French Translator Engine, and you get:

l'herbe de queue de cerf et l'herbe de nid de mouton

I love it!

I guess near the end of the meal, Meryl could have said, "All we got left is sheep-nest grass..."

Thank you for sharing your lovely day with us all. I felt included.

JACK winces, too.

JACK:
Well, we go to do somethin' 'bout this food situation. Maybe I'll shoot one of the Hajiki.

ENNIS:
What if Aquirre finds out, Huh? We're supposed to guard the Hajiki, not eat 'em.

JACK:
What's the matter with you? There's a thousand of 'em.

ENNIS:
I'll stick with beans.

JACK:
Well, I won't.

.........

Twenty yards away, TWO CHILEAN HAJIKIHERDERS are looking just as glum at the huge mixed herd, gesturing wildly.

ENNIS:
Well, what're we supposed to do now, Huh?

JACK:
Get on in there...untangle them Chilean HAJIKI outa ours, I guess.



JACK:
Damn, half the goddamn paint brands are wore off.



....

JACK in a better mood now, is doodling on his harmonica.

ENNIS (tolerant, smiles):
You'll run them HAJIKI off again if you don't quiet down.

JACK keeps playing.
