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

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

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") he
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...sn=001&sc=1000

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

Leila

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.

I've had several Spam sammiches this week (too hot to cook), they are very
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 &
eggs! I turn away.

Yes, I remember Monty Python's skit(s) about spam. That's why I said that
my husband likes "spam, spam & eggs."
I never think of Spam that I don't think of the Monty Python skit.

My mother used to fix Spam for breakfast when I was a kid. I liked it.
A little salty with a texture something like tongue - which I'm also
partial to. I'm jotting down "Spam" on my shopping list.

Spam lightly sauteed in olive oil/butter on home-made whole wheat
with lettuce, tomato, mayonaise and lettuce. To die for. Never had
Spam sushi, although I've heard of it. Alas, now that I'm on a
low-sodium diet Spam is a rare treat. But a very nice treat.

This song is why junk e-mail is called spam. Early spam recipients were
geeky computer types with a sense of humor, and when the stupid,
mindless emails started arriving in great quantity, they called it
Spam, after the skit. You know, there's nothing but spam, spam, spam.

By the time Hormel heard about it, it was too late to sue and make
people stop using the word. It had become embedded in the language.

I try to limit myself to one can a week and no more than a half can
serving at a time... gotta watch the salt. I like that they have easy
open pop-top cans now, those old *key* cans were a pain. Three of my
six cats like Spam too, they meow like crazy when I open a can but then
won't eat much, perhaps half a thin slice each.

I really don't like Spam heated, it becomes a totally different tasting
product.

SPAM is just nasty stuff ..it initially isn't bad, but they put
something in it that makes my gorge rise after about the third chew.
My mother used to eat a lot of it, usually fried, but not always. I
used to get commodity foods once upon a time, they had a chopped
spiced ham in a bigger can, similar to, but better than spam and
people who liked spam would kill for it, trade for it or buy it from
folks who got it in their commodity items couldn't be had any other
way. I tried to eat it, make it into other things from the recipes
they gave out.. one was like a meatloaf ..with mustard.. I got so sick
from that stuff that I never again have touched it.

I heard they sent a lot of SPAM to England during the war, had heard
that it was a big seller in Hawaii, didn't know about it being a big
seller in the far east though. They can have my share! ;-)
