global1's JournalAt The Beginning Of The Pandemic When Food Stores Were Being Emptied - I Bought Some Spam.....
Instead of continuing to take up space in my pantry - I decided to cook it up and use it. Now I haven't had span since my Boy Scout days back in the 60's when we went camping.
Here's what I made:
1. I cooked up 1 lb of angel hair pasta in salted water.
2. I diced the whole piece/can of Spam and put it in a pan with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 teaspoonful of minced garlic.
3. I fried it up until it started to brown turning it with a wooden spoon to make sure diced meat was browned on both sides.
4. I added two 14.5oz cans of Margaret Holmes - Tomatoes, Okra & Corn to the pan with the Spam and heated til a mild boiling.
5. I added about 1/3 cup of reserved pasta water and turned the heat down to a simmer.
6. Simmered it for about 10 minutes.
7. Added the angel hair to the pan and tossed it till covered.
8. Plated and served it up.
I was floored. It turned out to be a very enjoyable and tasty dish. As I didn't know what to expect - I was pleasantly surprised and satisfied with my concoction.
I will make this again and I actually will look forward to eating and enjoying it.
The Repugs Are Suppressing Their Own Vote.....
When you think about it the Repugs are actually suppressing their own vote with all their crazy conspiracy theories and their cult-like following of Trump.
With respect to the pandemic - most refuse to wear masks and won't get vaccinated. They also are opening up their States well before they should. [Note: Just when it looks like we're gaining ground on Covid - they open up the bars, restaurants, gyms, stadiums/arenas and other businesses and the numbers bad again.]
Many are going to wind up with Covid. Wind up being hospitalized and on a ventilator and dead. They are killing themselves off. Their numbers are dwindling.
And I got to believe that their efforts to pass voting laws in the name of fairer elections (rrrright) - will effect Repug voters as well and further keep their own voter numbers down.
Turning their nose up to new gun legislation isn't going to help them either. Bottom line I got to believe that having a gun puts one on the path to using it and either killing themselves, loved ones or friends and getting themselves in trouble with the law. They actually aren't any safer than any one else when it comes to mass shootings.
Insurrection will be putting a lot of them in jail and I got to believe that more and future attempts will be made to - insurrect - and get more of them in trouble with the law.
Somebody needs to ask both Repugs and Dems to define what it means to them to be 'patriotic'.
I bet that the definitions both sides give - will be 180 degrees opposite of the other.
This is just my opinion. I'm curious if anyone else thinks the same.
With Respect To An Infrastucture Bill Monies Need To Be Included........
in it for follow-up Preventive Maintenance on a scheduled basis to maintain the infrastructure going forward so we never again get into this disrepair situation like we're currently in.
It makes no sense to repair bridges, roads and other structures and let them fall into disrepair again because the States they're in can't afford maintaining them.
What do you think?
