We had a bitterly shamefully enjoyable dinner of AlohaDawg's Spambalaya tonight, with a side of canned candied yams and a 4.99 bottle of wine.  It was terribly romantic, like reliving our poverty-stricken youth together in a garret, with the snow howling outside and all that.

If I made it again, I would try the non-Lite Spam in it, if I could avoid reading the label.  After all you only live once.

Tonight I light a candle and thank Divinity that you survived to tell the tale. I also give thanks that my original idea, to just invent some culinary use for SPAM was overcome by merely finding something. Terribly Hawaiian, you guys are being.

 Just get over here already, we'll get you the real experience. Hell, I'll even figure out how you can stay in our place for free. Anything to convince you that we have better food around than Spam and Rice and seaweed. But you gotta bring the dog and one cool game 4-6 adults can play.

AlohaDog,

I'm going to be in L.A. in three weeks.  Since you're in Hawaii, maybe we could meet each other half-way and hang out.

Hey, August, if you don't know the Final Jeopardy question, will you write "Who is Jough?" in there?

I'll pay you off after it airs.

I am so jealous of everyone who will be in LA while I am sliding around on the ice here.

Someday I will take you up on that invite, Aloha, but a warning - if it's really the dog you want to meet, she doesn't fly.

Sounds Great, Jough. Halfway for me is 1275 1/2 miles out in the Pacific. Swim S/SW and I'll meet you there. Or, just come the whole way. Free room and shared board (which I can't offer in LA).




PS Invitations to visit HI are open to everyone here posting regularly for more than 6 months. Case by Case for the rest of you.

I cook for one often, but I don't make those "fancy" recipies that require "ingredients" or "skills" or "a stove"; no, I am a master of boiling rice, scrambling eggs and making sandwiches. And it is one sandwich that I will now share:
The Elvis:
Take two slices of bread, just smother both of them in peanut butter. Chop up half a banana into as thin slices as you can get; put in the peanut butter. Pour honey on top of the bananas. Close sandwich and toast. Apparently the King liked it with bacon, but I haven't tried it yet.

Someone tonight mentioned a culinary favorite that I had never heard of and wish were still the case.  Bananna and Mayonaise.  That sounds disgusting to me, but two people swore it was delicious.  Were they putting me on or is this actally a tasty combination of foodstuffs?

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

Sounds Nasty to me. But then someone had to be the first one to open up an oyster and go "hmmm. This looks good just the way it is".

I won't try that sammich though - there is too much food that actually looks and sounds good that I haven't tried yet.

pointless trivia:  Cornish Game Hens are just baby chickens, or I guess pre-teen chickens.  This horrified me when I was little.

This is an interesting site.
It is very weird that among 'substitutes' for chicken they include ostrich. Although the rest of the options were more-or-less white meats, anyone who has seen ostrich would agree that it's similarity to BEEF is actually pretty striking and the ostrich would make a pretty poor chicken 'substitute'...

Yeah, I've only had Emu, (ostrich cousin) and it's very much like a red meat, and I wouldn't ever recommend it as a chicken sub
