The star of the show was Indian chicken on a spit. I put about 1 cup
of onion into the FP with 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground pepper and 2 tsp cumin and whizzed it into a paste. I smeared about half of it into the cavity and the other half was smeared over the bird and then it went into the fridge for an hour. Then it went onto spit and into the BBQ for about an hour and a half. I also had a cob of corn, grilled in the husk, squeezed lime juice on it then sprinkled with chilu powder. Then there was steamed green beans and a Greek salad (no lettuce). |

There's another 'new' apple out called the 'Opal' and it's a cross between a golden delicious and ???. The first couple I had were rather good then the last ones I had were just too dang sour. There's a _________crisp apple on the market and dang if I can remember the name of it that everybody raved about. Does that sound familiar?? I found it awfully sour, too. Maybe it was picked too early, I don't know, but I was underwhelmed. |

I think so many of the older varieties of apples have had this and that grafted to them they're no longer fit to eat. And they were quite large apples at that. What I see in the stores now are marketed and sold as 'lunch box size.' |

Red Delicious apples (RDA's) usta be GREAT until Big-Agriculture (BIG-AG) took over. As late as '66, Red Delicious apples were EXACTly that. Fuji's, which came from RDA's, are the new replacement after RDA's got screwed-up by BIG-AG. In '66, I could get RDA's, refrigerated, fer a dime, and they were sooooo big and juicy, you hadda eat 'em severely bent over or they would totally mess up the front of yer shirt. ![]() nb |

It was a Filipino type sausage. Beats me how you stuff chopped dried pork into a casing but it was quite good and better than a regular sausage. The fried rice under the eggs were pretty good too. The next time you make vegetable fried rice, put a couple of eggs on top and serve fried slices of Spam on the side. It's a meal fit for a Hawaiian King! https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared...qYH50XA_tTZ0l9 |

When meat production sees its final days, Spam will have to be made from some other material other than pork. Spam doesn't much resemble meat to begin with so that's a big head start. My guess is that Spam could be made from sea slugs and cellulose in the future. God, I hope they get it right! |

It all depends of one's skill, knowledge, and technique. You can make Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Hawaiian, style fried rice. The current hot style of fried rice on this rock is kim chee fried rice which is the local style of the Korean dish. It's lighter, and sweeter, than the way a FOB Korean would make it. These days, I like to make a minimalist style of fried rice with just garlic and a little shoyu. That's the way I'd season fried rice if I was cooking for a Brit. |

I mike my potatoes. When almost done I put them into a pan with a bit of oil, and try and get all 4 sides(depending on shape)browned. |
