  1. If you're like me, you're busy running the household, getting the kids
    to school and possibly holding down a job to boot. The end of the day
    is usually seen as a war zone when it comes to the kitchen; who wants
    what for dinner and how quick you can get everyone fed. This was me a
    couple of months ago.

    Now, we all sit around the dining table, eating healthy food and having
    good conversation, while at the same time saving cash!

    How did I do this, you may ask? I discovered homemadegourmet; simple
    pre-packaged products that only require the basic of added ingredients.
    Dinners can be made in as little as 15 minutes while at the same time,
    saving you $$ on your grocery shopping bill, by only requiring the
    additional purchase of these basic additional ingredients (fresh meats
    etc).

    So, what do you use in place of the pate on the Wellington? Turkey Spam?
    And do you buy the puff pastry or make it from scratch?! 😉

    paté = liverwurst spread

    Gotta make your own puff pastry. Start by rendering some pork fat for
    lard, to use in place of the butter.

    I must say I'm very disappointed that it was a commercial site trying to
    sell things that any enterprising cook could easily make themselves at a
    fraction of what you are charging.

    Lynn, Lynn, haven't you tried Spam sushi? It's all the rage in Hawaii.

    Really, it's tasty good. When I've had it, the Spam was grilled first
    before getting rolled up with seaweed and vinegared rice. Yummie. And I
    wouldn't ordinarily eat Spam.

    This week's SF Chronicle food section gives a recipe for Spam sushi
    ("musubi"😉 here:
    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/06/29/FDGC5DDCFK1.DTL&hw=spam+sushi&sn=001&sc=1000

    You'll have to scroll quite a bit to find it. or use "find".

  10. Just got a freebie book from my local bookstore called "The Surprising
    Power of Family Meals." I wouldn't have paid $ for it but this was an
    advance copy they send to bookstores. The book is an extensively
    researched argument for all the good things the family meal does for
    people:

    teach manners
    discourage smoking, drug use & teen pregnancy
    help kids do better in school
    prevent eating orders and obesity
    build literacy, vocabulary and conversational skills
    etc. etc.

    Trouble is, we've been doing the eating in shifts thing because hubby
    gets home at 7 and we're all too hungry to wait that long for dinner.
    We eat home cooked food, but not often all at once. I am thinking of
    reorganizing the kids' schedules so we can eat together. It's really
    important...

    Spam is a big seller in Guam and Hawaii. I think it's great. A very
    useful invention.

    Living in Hawaii for a few years, I had at a Hawaiian restaurant some of
    their local dishes. One I was particularly fond of was Spam and Cabbage.
    But I've never bought a can of it here on the mainland. You just gotta be
    there to enjoy it, I guess.

    I've never been to Hawaii but I really enjoy Spam, I buy it by the
    case. In summer I like to add cubed Spam to all kinds of salads;
    tossed, pasta, potato, marinated bean, etc. I like Spam better cold
    than cooked. I only like the Original Spam; the Lite-Low salt/fat,
    Turkey, Smoked versions are an entirely different product, they're
    gross, even smell awful. Spam is a very handy pantry product and
    requires no refrigeration. Since moving to this rural area I eat a lot
    more Spam and way less cold cuts... the delis here in hillybilly land
    ain't any too sanitary... already got sick twice. Never got sick from
    Spam. I think Spam on rye with mustard, lettuce, tomato, and lotsa
    sliced raw onyun is gonna be lunch.

    good eating...

    You and my husband's tastes are similar. I should correct myself when I say
    that "I've never bought a can of it here..." He will have it -- spam, spam &

    Does anyone remember the Montey Python vikings sining about SPAM? In
    the song they say SPAM 97 times. A SPAM museum opened in Houston in
    2001. SPAM came about in 1937 when Hormel came out with a product
    they called Hormel Spiced Ham. They held a contest to name the product
    and the winner got a whole $100 for coming up with (SP)iced H(am). In
    Manila, Philippines there is an eatery called Spamjam where everything
    on the menu is made with SPAM. In 2002 the 6 billionth can was
    produced. In Hawaii, 5.5 cans are eaten(meat first) per person, 6.7
    million per year. South Korea eats more than that.

    Yes, I remember Monty Python's skit(s) about spam. That's why I said that

    I never think of Spam that I don't think of the Monty Python skit.
