So Bob and I always have coffee on our patio in the morning. Bob gets up really early......5:00am......and I am at least an hour later. When I joined him on the patio this morning he had the map of Wyoming out and was reminiscing about all of his travels and experiences in our home state. He got so excited telling me stories, that, incidently I had heard many times before, he got louder and louder. I was looking around at the neighbors homes wondering if they were enjoying the stories as much as we were! It seems, reminiscing goes hand and hand with aging........we love to tell the stories of when we were so happy...........and so young.
Well, it is the 75 year anniversary of SPAM. Spam has been a staple for 75 years in most everyones homes. As a mother of four, I always had Spam on hand for an emergency dinner or lunch. It was never a favorite of mine but a real big favorite of Bob. I know that it is the state food of Hawaii and the Hawaiians have a jillion ways to prepare it. Baked in pineapple like a ham, fried, chopped up in all kinds of dishes...Chinese, Mexican, Italian.......it is an amazing food.
So today, I will celebrate Spam.........I am barbequing it on the barbeque along with fresh corn on the cob. I will peel back the husks, remove the silk, tie the husks back up around the ear and soak in water then put on the bbq on a low flame. This seems to give the corn a "green corn" flavor. I so enjoy my fresh corn on the cob! AND Spam..........long live SPAM!
