Hi Sylvs..........do you remember Spam........??

SylviaInCanada

SylviaInCanada Report 12 Oct 2011 20:22

I certainly do remember Spam


In fact, we still occasionally have it when we are up at the cabin, and have to hit the canned food ....................... we fry it and boil potaotes or ahve salad with it.


OH regards it as "camping food" :-D

Spam is advertised on TV now!

Spam Up is the slogan.....and for an anniversary treat! If JB served that up (if I ate meat) for our special day, it would be going right UP his........

I actually saw some 'spam fritters' in the supermarket today and picked them up (momentarily) - I soon put them down again when I remembered how fatty and greasy and salty and slippery they used to taste !!

I think I made a good decision !! :-D

Tastes DO change over time!

yes


I always forget how salty Spam is, until we cook it and start eating it!!


Although you can buy a "salt-reduced" version now

Haven't had Spam in ages but I quite like it actually. I think I used to grill it.


Takes me back to the time when a Vesta Prawn curry was the height of exoticness - many moons ago of course ... :-D :-D


I also like corned beef........especially with beetroot :-D

Dea Report 12 Oct 2011 22:14

Now you have taken me back as well Cyn.

In 1966 along with my girlfriend, my best mate and his girlfriend I holidayed "Sur Le Continent" I drove in my little Mini across northern France to Switzerland then on into Italy. We made our way back along the French Riviera to Marseilles and then turned north stopping off in Lyon, Reims and Paris before finally crossing the Channel and heading for home.

To keep the costs down as we did not have much cash between us we camped where possible in woods or farmers fields using 2 very small tents. My mate Brian's girlfriend took with her 2 packets of Vesta beef curry together with a sieve (For draining the rice). I am glad to say that as poor and destitute as we were we never had to resort to eating them. They returned home, still in their packets, after travelling some 3,000+ miles.

I like corned beef butties ...... with tomato ketchup (preferably Heinz) :-D


and, oh those Vesta curries!


we were actually talking the other night about getting rid of a large number of Chianti bottles, the ones in straw "baskets".

The height of entertaining circa 1970 .................... checked tablecloth, candle stuck in Chianti bottle, and spaghetti with meat sauce. To drink ..... Chianti, of course



OH found a box of said Chianti bottles in our basement, about 20 of them, plus 4 we had stuck up on the wall in one part of the basement.

The student opera group took about 4 bottles for "future stage use", we kept the 4 on the wall ............. the rest all went to the Sallie Ann thrift store, where I am sure someone will have bought them

The news today was ................. GP didn't know whether surgeon was thinking along these lines or the reason she had referred me for radiation, but had an idea based on the following from the path report

lymph nodes clear of cancer cells

sufficiently large clear margins round cancer removed

no signs of metastasis


so their suggestion is that it is prophylactic treatment ....... to make sure


braces and belt syndrome :-D



oh yes ................. the path report also showed that pre-cancerous cells of ductal cancer were also forming.................... so he said I had definitely made the "right choice".




so I feel a lot better than I did yesterday

oh yes,



and he was not happy that I had not been able to see the surgeon at 2 weeks, but had to wait 5.



it was said very diplomatically!



although he did suggest that I say something to her when I do see her.
