You're like Gandhi. Or like Gandhi aspired to be.
"[W]hen he was in his 70s and close to leading India to independence, he encouraged his 17-year-old great-niece, Manu, to be naked during her 'nightly cuddles' with him.

If you're an AARP member, you can get WalMart+ really cheap. What you'd
save on gas could more than pay for it.
Yes, it's a bit early for some folks, but I thought I'd ask just the same
as I've just come from cleaning up the kitchen. Your meal tonight?
Supper is not on the stove, but the prep work and clean up for this meal has been completed and now it's break time. Tonight's meal will be frozen green beans, small scrubbed and quartered Yukon gold potatoes, along with plenty
of chopped ham. All will be cooked in the same pot and there will be leftovers
for a few days and will share with a neighbor as well. Most likely a skillet
of cornbread will complete this meal.

Breakfast this morning was fried spaghetti and cheese. Who the heck doesn't like
fried cheese? I'm going to make some fried ramen cake using cheap noodles. Aye,
it'll be grand.

The cheese fried a little bit this morning. I added a bunch to less than
two tablespoons of leftover refried beans. I don't think I've had even
500 calories of net carbs in the past 15 days. Mostly I eat L&T salads
with a tiny bit of EVOO and HOSO, a little Parmesan sprinkled on, and a
shot of MCT oil.
Tomorrow I'll be making mashed potatoes and gravy, and I'll likely taste
a tiny bit of the gravy for quality control, but I'll just have a giant salad and a bunch of Costco chicken. I've had some dry red wine twice,
but no beer. Certainly no noodles or bread.

Lee Ho Fook Restaurant
Inside the Chinese Cultural Plaza, Lee Ho Fook’s cake noodle is what you imagine when someone wants this at a potluck. Perfectly crispy on all sides with a compressed and creamy interior that soaks up whatever gravy is poured on top, this is exactly what I consider a good cake noodle. In this case, it was served with perfectly braised beef tendon. The textural contrasts kept us going in for more and more bites. Lee Ho Fook’s cake noodle was our clear favorite.

I can see where this could lead to a mashup with Stacey's beef chow

You're not going to find cake noodle in any Hawaiian restaurant. What surprises the Hawaiians is that it's not sold in Chinese restaurants
on the Mainland. Da Hawaiians are also surprised that fruit punch is
not sold in McDonald's either. Is that too much of a niche item on

END OF AN ERA: Minute Maid, owned by The Coca-Cola Company, is preparing to discontinue its frozen juice concentrate products, a move that has sparked a wave of nostalgia among longtime fans online.
The change is expected to take effect in the first quarter of 2026 as
the company responds to shifting consumer demand. Remaining cans will stay on shelves until supplies are exhausted.

And no one noticed a virgin tequila sunrise hue to it all?Yes, it's a bit early for some folks, but I thought I'd ask
just the same as I've just come from cleaning up the
kitchen. Your meal tonight?
Supper is not on the stove, but the prep work and clean up
for this meal has been completed and now it's break time.
Tonight's meal will be frozen green beans, small scrubbed
and quartered Yukon gold potatoes, along with plenty of
chopped ham. All will be cooked in the same pot and there
will be leftovers for a few days and will share with a
neighbor as well. Most likely a skillet of cornbread will
complete this meal.

Tonight's dinner was canned corned beef and onions.
Unfortunately, all we had was red onions. The corned beef was
a little weird since it didn't have much fat in it. That was
similar to the last can I bought. It's not like the canned
beef that I grew up with.

Kimchi is a nice addition, those red onions, they do tend to
purple out some.
I agree that tinned corned beef is nowhere near like it used to
be.
And what happened to tinned DAK hams?
Shit's been degrading...

Tastes like ham, but it's not ham...
This is the fault of Dak for calling the product Premium Ham. It
is, in fact, ham-flavor potted meat product. Its look and
texture has been compared to Spam, but that's not quite it. I
cooked it like ham, scoring the top and adding brown sugar,
then drizzling it with water to make a glaze. And although it
smells and tastes like ham, it has the consistency and look of
soufflé or jello parfait. It is fluffy and can be eaten with a
spoon. I have been looking for meats that can be stored without refrigeration, but this will not be one of them.
Yuck!
This was pretty disgusting. I remember my mom making a canned
him every once in a while when we were kids and I liked it.
This one was not like meat it seemed almost like it was a paste
put into her shape of a ham. I tried to doctorate up I scored
the top of it put cloves in and baked it for a while but still
not very good.
That's the modern age for you. I'm surprised that they can even
call that stuff "ham." It is a soft paste that's been piped into
a pan and heated. The most brilliant thing about it is the shape,
which I think is wonderful.
Same here, but it's one more childhood icon in ruins in this modern
world.
My buddy and I, when we were kids, once got some Spam and dotted
it with cloves and glazed it. It was baked in our toaster oven and
turned out awful. Why, is not much of a mystery since it tasted
pretty much like how you'd think. I just dumped the whole thing in
the trash even though our family didn't usually throw food away.
An important lesson was learned that day. Stuff like turning a
sow's ear into a silk purse and learning to cut your losses and
walk away.
I had better luck for a time eating frozen orange juice concentrate
from the can with a spoon on hot summer days - wow was that
refreshing - as a pseudo-slushi kinda made-up treat went.
These days, well:

END OF AN ERA: Minute Maid, owned by The Coca-Cola Company, is
preparing to discontinue its frozen juice concentrate products, a
move that has sparked a wave of nostalgia among longtime fans
online. The change is expected to take effect in the first quarter
of 2026 as the company responds to shifting consumer demand.
Remaining cans will stay on shelves until supplies are exhausted.

Breakfast was some dehydrated potatoes, canned corned beef, with
an egg and a little flour. I added some cheese for a little
excitement. It was cooked in a waffle iron. It was just so-so.

But at least it was easy peasy to make.
When I was a kid, mixing up the frozen OJ was one of my jobs. I cut
my hand on one of those pull top lids. I can't say how I did it but
the lid slashed my hand across 4 fingers. It was a damned bloody
mess. It was shocking to see the fingers bleeding like that. I'll
probably have a flashback of the view when I die. I wrapped up the
mess and finished the OJ mixing. As usual, I didn't tell my parents
about it. The ones with the plastic strip were a lot safer. I can't
say that I'm sad to see frozen OJ concentrate disappearing forever. I
never found that job to be very life fulfilling. We drank too much of
that stuff anyway.
Cooking stuff in the waffle iron is so easy that I feel guilty aboutSuccess guilt is the best guilt!

Ham-flavored-substance wouldn't sell as well. It's just another example

He will, but he first has to beat the hate beards and that's taking
much longer than expected.
