Fiscal Cliff Parties?
Anyone going to have a Fiscal Cliff party?
I wonder what would be good to serve... perhaps: egg drop soup, Clif bars, mashed potatoes (formed like Devil's Tower). Foods that are fiscally responsible, such as beans and rice, ramen noodles, macaroni and cheese, etc. |

A clove studded Spam "roast" glazed with grape jelly will add that extra festive appeal. Good luck! |

I think I still have a copy of Thelma and Louise; I fast forward through the parts with BP. |

Vegetarian Spam is an abomination and would mean that the end days are neigh. You might like Spam flavored macadamia nuts. That might be vegetarian. I had some once and it actually tasted OK. That is, until I thought about the concept of Spam flavored macadamia nuts and almost vomited. > > I think I still have a copy of Thelma and Louise; I fast forward through the > parts with BP. > > What the heck, fast forward to the ending and save a whole lot of time. It's the fiscally responsible thing to do. Forget about it if you're talking VHS though. I'd rather jump over a cliff. |

You might be able to get these free at restaurants. Good luck! I once made a glazed Spam loaf when I was in high school. I glazed it with pineapple and studded it with many cloves after scoring it. It was cooked in our toaster oven and it looked pretty good. I took one bite and thought it was pretty revolting. I guess you can't make a silk purse out of sow's ear. Anyway I dumped the whole loaf but the lesson I learned was an important one - don't mess with da Spam! |

Are you kidding there? :-o Actually, imagining this....I'll bet Spam dipped in a little grape jelly might actually be ok. I'll have to try one bite of that. Gary |

You didn't grow up in a geographically isolated part of the world. For a lot of those people, canned meats were the only thing available and that's what they grew up on. There are areas where that's still true today. If you were raised in Samoa, you'd think canned corned beef and Spam were pretty tasty. |

We're not *nuts* about it- but I have treated a spam like a ham and everyone was happy. We had a HI'an pizza this week-- I got funny looks, but they all liked it. [probably not traditional- but I put some spinach with the spam and pineapple & it worked.] Jim |
