Artist's Comments

from an interview with Vai Sikahema, NBC's sportscaster

"In Tonga, my grandparents had a milk cow, so I was accustomed to drinking milk, but it was fresh, raw and unpasteurized. My uncles and I would milk the cow, then bring the bucket for Grandma Wolfgramm to boil in a pot, then we'd watch the cream rise to the top, which my grandma would spoon into another container, from which she made butter. After the milk cooled, we'd take turns sipping it out of a large tumbler.

I remember that my paternal grandmother, with whom I traveled to Hawaii with - it was also her first time in America - just the two of us walked one morning to a corner convenience store to buy milk. Because she spoke only limited English, she didn't quite understand why the clerk kept pointing to the carton behind the glass doors of the refrigerator when she asked for "Hu'a Kau" - the Tongan word for milk, which, literally translated is "Cow Juice."

Not trusting the clerk and not being able to see what was in the paper carton, Grandma Sikahema bought a huge bottle of Mayonnaise - she could clearly see that what was in the glass container was white and looked more like the milk than what was possibly in the enclosed paper carton."

Lovely story and a tightly cropped, interesting photo (due to the lines mostly!), which have no obvious connection!!

Crazy deviation! :)
