And speaking of Spam, I flagged two threads from our old friend, the streamer. Those two threads got squelched immediately.
I did it too

At least we made something tasty of one of his threads.

I'm already hungry. I'm used to eat early but today I'm working until 3 in the afternoon. If I read this thread again I'll end chewing my own fist xD
Get a snack, or something. Peanuts are good, unless you're allergic.
That last part might have gone without saying... of-course you never know.
Fortunately I'm not allergic to any known food. Whole milk and cream can create some embarrasing situations, though.

I'm allergic to s%!&ty food. Can't eat the stuff.
But I'm Quaker, so i've had my fill (and then some) of s#@$ty food. :-)

Pan brought some bread... «Pan» means «bread» in Spanish so I found that concept amusing.
We have excelent bread here, in a lot of varieties. When I was in England I couldn't find real bread anywhere!
I mean spam is not my thing I do not like it but hey at least its not hog brain.
You have to fry it with scrambled eggs. That's how I ate it growing up.
I read the info on it once the cholesterol fat and calories are off the chart.
If it was good enough for my hominid ancestors it's good enough for me. Thanks, Great Grandpa Krog.

There are worse things there than natural fat and calories. I'd rather eat a good bacon and cheese sandwich (with real bread of course) than some of that processed crap full of palm oil and trans fat.
GMT+1 Right now it's a warm and sunny afternoon out there.
We have some excellent Panaderias in the twin cities, but finding a decent baguette is sadly a struggle. Gas station baguette in France is better than our bakeries here... :(
There are a few places I think that make good bread, including baguette.
I guess you meant GMT-5? Or am I wrong?
I remember there were 6 hours of difference from here to the East Coast, IIRC.

All I know is, where I'm at it's almost 12:30 p.m. Saturday.

What city do you live in, if I might ask.
And it's warm and sunny here today, as well. Last weekend it snowed and temps fell to freezing again. Spring came very early this year and winter finally got one last punch in, thank goodness (I'm a winter person).
I have mixed feelings about winter.
On the one hand, it's nice in December.
On the other hand, I wish it wouldn't last 6-7 months.
We didn't even really have a winter this year. There were about 3 or 4 weeks (not consecutively) where it got down into winter temperatures and it snowed about 2 inches where I live (though last week in the northern part of the state - Arkansas - they got about 4 to 5 inches but it was gone the next day). I remember as a kid every winter would see to 2 to 3 snowfalls, often a foot or more in depth and it would be so cold we'd have to break the ice on the ponds daily so the cattle could drink. I know that's not a lot to some people, but here it was a big deal. The last real snowfall we got here was Christmas Day 2012, where it snowed over a foot.
I think we average 60 inches of snow a year.

I'm from Lugo, a small city on Northwestern Spain.
We have a Roman Wall from 2000 years ago (Google «Lugo Roman Wall», it's pretty cool) and a tradition of cooking octopus (Google «pulpo a feira», it's as tasty as it looks nasty!).Yes, I'm trying to get some tourists here xD
Here it used to rain like 8 months of the year but with the climatic change we are getting few rain lately.
Being allergic to Glutamate must suck. They put it everywhere this days!
I'm actually jealous. I know that's a hardship on lots of people, but just once I'd like to see a real winter here again.

I live in Conway, Arkansas (pronounced AR-kan-saw) in the southern USA. We're 4,388 miles apart (or 7,061 kilometers).
Thanks for using the metric system! After many years playing D&D and Pathfinder I've still problems to measure things in miles, feet, etc.
Also, I've heard of Arkansas but I've always pronounced it wrong: Ar-KAN-sass.
Ar KAN sass is the river, unless you live in (states) Oklahoma or Arkansas. In those two states, the river is the AR kan saw river
AR kan saw is the state
and
KAN sass is the state
I know how you feel. I love cooking, but when I work until late there are days I don't feel like doing it. That days I get home so hungry that I could eat anything as long as I don't have to cook it.
Just took a shot of Rum to help with my allergies. :)
Nothing like self medication! What's your favorite brand of rum? Mine is Black Kraken.

I'm not a good cook. I'd rather eat out if I can afford it. If it doesn't come from a can or a box I pretty much just eat cereal instead. I do make a pretty good chili, but I use prepackaged spices and add a few things of my own to it.

I always have some parm to grate. I like to grate it in the moment. But I love to make my quick pasta with tomato sauce and ricotta (I do the tomato sauce myself because I don't like the commercial ones a lot and I like adding oregano and basil to it).
See ya later.

It's getting easier to find - generally the best places to look are Eastern European food shops.
I think I am done for today. It's still early but I just want to get into my warm bed even if I'm not going to sleep. So tired today.
