Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Supposedly SPAM is very big there. Just sayin
Yes there and Japan. Spam was created as a way for our soldiers to have protein out in the field in WWII. When the war ended there was a huge surplus given out in Hawaii and they incorporated it into the recipes. Being one of the only nations to help a country we defeated and that attacked us to rebuild we gave it to the Japanese who did the same. Enough history lessons for today.
 
When we don't feel like cooking at home, SPAM, egg or fried ham are the way to go, whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Ditto, except I usually throw in a hash brown to make sure it is a nice wholesome meal.

Yes SPAM and Chipped-Beef on Toast (SOS) were our two big contributions to international cuisine.

My mother used to make that when I was young. It goes by another name if I remember right, crap on a shingle.

They changed my word to crap.

my contribution to what you are talking about. Take that canned Spam, dice it up. add in diced potatoes, peppers and onion, a little seasoning and lots and lots of bacon and stir fry it!. Serve it on top of a toasted waffle. then pour bacon flavored gravy on top. pour the bacon grease into a glass and insert straw!
 
Speaking of Ray's, my wife just brought in dinner.

That looks delicious! I guess we won’t be hearing from you for a while Tom.
 
Paying for a wedding left me broke. I didn’t think people would want to watch cooking with Kev that just shows microwaved Stouffer’s turkey dinner, Kraft mac and cheese or ramen noodles.
It's amazing what you can do with a can of Pork and Beans!

I'm back. On my CV under Skills the first bullet point is Eating.
 
Wow, $4.75.? Did those expire in 2024? I don’t look much anymore except at what the eggs looks like. I’m pretty picky there. Worst thing ever for me is when I crack them open and get yellow and orange yolks in the same carton.
 
That would be really funny and make a CV stand out. They’d want to pull you in just to inquire.
I actually did a parody CV once in the late 80s. I just parodied actual accomplishments. I gave a copy to one of my friends and he showed it to his boss. I not only got called in I was hired on the spot as the Program Manager for a new classified ads system they were designing for the LA Times.
