SPAM: 1) we all know it isn't really "spiced ham," it is "Spare Parts Any Mammal" 2) a taste for it was largely developed during WWII during which GI's really liked it compared to other canned rations; 3) it became and remains especially popular in Hawaii where it is offered in various forms in some restaurants.

my father and father-in-law fought at opposite ends of the world but both loved spam when fried to a salty, crunchy perfection
usually served on wonder bread with miracle whip not mayo
there were no real ingredients in that meal...just question marks

A guy at Costco yesterday was loading what looked like about 30 one gallon jugs of milk into the bed of his truck.
Maybe he thought they said milk shortage, not bacon shortage?

milk is as much as a buck and half cheaper across all grades at Costco
and it lasts longer than most local retailers' products

I notice that several ethnic eateries buy their ingredients in bulk there, as well
hard to imagine Costco would be cheaper than a wholesaler...but there it is

No wonder there's a shortage...

Costco hasn't invaded Norway yet?

I asked him if it wouldn't be cheaper to just buy a cow.

Maybe he was this guy?

Nope. And we have no shortage of bacon.

Coincidence? Well...

A guy at Costco yesterday was loading what looked like about 30 one gallon jugs of milk into the bed of his truck.

Milk was $1.29 a gallon at Aldis yesterday. Got some Aldi hot dogs (.79 cents) and a can of Aldi delicious chili...no beans...($1.09) and some buns (.69 cents) a one pound bag of shredded cheddar ($2.99) and had a great meal last night. Washed it down with the milk, then finished off a bottle of Winking Owl Aldi California Merlot wine ($2.89) and used the last few drops to shine my shoes!

Gotta love Aldis!

Since bacon is out, at least until the shortage crisis ends....how about some coffee talk? That should open some sleepy eyes to conversation!

I'm lazy as hell...you guys probably wouldn't think that, but sadly it is a fact of life. I have all kinds of coffee machines, presses, and other gizmos for "superb" coffee making. I also have some of the worlds best coffees...a friend regularly sends me several blends of coffee from his home in Hawaii. What's the Best Hawaiian Coffee? - Coffee Review

But....the microwave is so fast...and handy..so this is what I drink most often. When I was still plumbing I worked for most every illegal Mexican family in the county. They knew nothing about plumbing it was a total mystery to them.....never having had any from where they came. I noticed they all seemed to drink the same coffee, so I got some and tried it. Smooth, wonderful aroma, dark and rich......and fast as lightning to make!

So what do you drink?

Regards!

I don't much either...but if you will send me those I will do my best to start up again!

I like expresso a lot....but the instant is just so fast and easy. If I use a heaping tablespoon, it is almost as good!

I always have a line up of volunteers but they are for sale on the bars at work (because you need alcohol in a fitness club good for recovery, or the guilt needed to get you working out )

it and taster's choice are supposed to be the same stuff...true???

when it is fresh it kinda resembles coffee

there was a time when we ate a couple spoonfuls of that stuff so as not to need a whizz break and attract attention to ourselves...nice little rush

That's close enough at 6AM. One minute in the micro and you get "instant" relief.....Mrs Rupert even "brews" it for me...says it compensates for the hours I spend preparing her evening meals.

I'm supposed to either drink no coffee at all, or only decaff, but I drink WIDWP. I like 100% Kona which can only be obtained on order from Hawaii, but it's a once or twice a year purchase. I found a flavor called "Highlander grog" which is available in regular or decaff, so I get the decaff and it is about the best no-octane coffee I've found. 100% Columbian in several different brands, or Breakfast Blend from the local super market is OK. I bought a small amount of Turkish coffee at the Grand Bazaar when we were in Istanbul, a package for my son and one for me. It was special, very "full bodied." Wish I had brought home several pounds of it.

Velveeta, and now instant "coffee"?

Where's that Ratol dip when you need it??

Just add water
