Salvador Dali, my favorite Artist! Seen some of his works in NY, the Last Supper covers the whole wall. Watch his movie "collage" I think it's called. My favorite quote "I don’t do drugs. I am drugs."

You're preaching to the Choir man. the only place in America that Columbus stepped foot was on my Island, Santa Cruz, which he named in 1493. I am fully aware of what he and other Spaniards, Europeans did to Native peoples around the world in their glory days of colonization. Yes, my meaning, which should've been clarified, discovered for the Europeans.

now you are preaching to the choir bro, i am fully aware that you are fully aware that etc

But I bet you weren't aware that I own a piece of land on the Island of Saint Croix (Santa Cruz de las Virgins) where the NPS has declared the only place in USA territory where CC stepped ashore 😉

That statement was made to Phil lesh of the Grateful Dead !!! One of my favorite quotes.
I also have “hallucinogenic embrace” by Dali
The expression of his understanding 😎
Just prints that are signed but I do also have a “legacy” etching original that’s hand colored.

it's in arrears and my sister won't do anything, the deed is all screwed up with 2 of my family members names on it that are deceased. It will go back to where it came from. Sad, my mom bought it for us to build on.

sorry to hear that. i know the feeling, got some land here also tied up with different family members who are just stubborn

It's a plot of land on Salt River. Columbus Landing is the official name. It's not cleared, basically jungle. Just a shame, taxes aren't much, I could pay but the property title is a mess. I'm sure if I was home I could grease some palms and get it squared away.

Okay thanks.

Generally I have heard that cooking cacao makes it less healthy, but maybe there’s a benefit too. It made me stay away from one company because they roast their cacao. I think it was Kieth’s.

How do you go about cooking it yourself?

I believe all traditional ceremonial cacao is roasted

not the stuff i get its raw

Definitely not all of it.

I even heard somewhere that cacao is raw by definition. If it’s roasted then it’s cocoa. I don’t know how true that is.

 

[Maunamoku]

That's interesting, I am currently reading that ceremonial cacao is traditionally lightly roasted during production, to remove the skins from the beans. I wonder if there is come confusion over the degree of roasting. Raw production seems to be a modern technique in regards to cacao.

Ok interesting. It seems like the definitions might not be very rigid.

If my memory is right, you can remove the skins with fermentation. It might not be right though.

I wish I knew more about cacao, it is such a wonderful plant. I sent out a few messages asking producers what is the case with raw vs roasted. I wonder if the roasting is more of a toasting, and does not cook the beans

Ok cool I’d be interested to hear the response.

Our old time resident artisan, Tyson Mortenson used to make ceremonial grade cacao and it was very loved by many.
I hope he comes back one day, and make more aromatics and tasty goodies.

 

[language scent]

@Jame @Maunamoku i told her you might order she said email her and she has even better grade. Mention my name and she will send the top stash that’s what she sends me and what she drinks.
