Sharks...


...Thanks for the 'Canned Cheese' info...it's a bit pricey, but hey, it's for a good cause - starving college kids!

I think I'll try a few tins - they say it will last almost forever as long as you keep a few tins stowed on the back shelf of the fridge - no more midnight runs to the AM-PM when you just have to have a grilled cheese sand.

As their website shows they have several flavors - sound really yummy, and they're well aged to boot!

As for SPAM...well what more can be said about such a gourmet's delight! Don't really relish the stuff myself, but I have to admit to giving in to tossing a few slices into a frying pan over a camp fire, lettin' em' lay till a charred golden brown on both sides. Slap on a hunk of cheese, maybe add a fried egg, and laying between a couple pieces of toast for a great, early morning, pick-me-up!

Probably mentioned here before...but on a trip over to Kona (the BIG Isle) a few years back (when we got off the plane, all the local TV's were tuned into OJ's white Bronco 'chase')we stopped at Costco to stock up on some goodies to use in our borrowed condo. I was almost overwhelmed by the number of full pallets of SPAM! They were on the floor, on the walls, on the racks, on the aisles...you could have used em' like bricks and built a really fine S... house! A local told me one of his favorite epicurean delights was a Roasted, SPAM-Stuffed Chicken! Now there's the makins' of a real chef's nightmare!




According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

Spam and Orange Crush


are two staples of Hawaiian culture. Ever visit an old cemetary there?

Spam and canned Tyson chickens are also the staple of the South Pacific islands - instead of the subsistance fishing of past generations - thanks to a government food subsidy program. And that is why they are now grossly overweight.

My son, who lived on Chuuk (Truk) for 3 years, reports the exact same thing as Wilderone----------

It is truly a shame-----------don't mess with cultures, less you reap the unintended consequences.
