  1. Girl, how the hell did you get out of the sixties without eating Spam?

  2. LOL. Beats me. Believe it or not, I don't even recall seeing a can of Spam until my twenties. By then, no way was I gonna eat that shit. Well, that's just a presumption, that it's shitty. It might not be. For all who enjoy, by all means, enjoy.

  5. Well, you updated your profile AND put something up that I might have to steal.

    Well done!

    Now, what's for breakfast?

  6. Yep, so far as I know.

    Minus the mashed instead of fried potatoes and adding chicken bites, Poutine sounds a lot like those KFC bowls and even more like more like these variations.

  9. Poutine is wonderful (says the 1/2 Canuck).

    I am soo laughing on the Spam. And I am surprised by gazpacho? That has been such a ubiquitous soup menu item (and Chicago summers can get sooooo hot sometimes).
