Haines His Way

TOD:

Take two slices of white bread.  
Place them on the counter.
Open a can of Spam and cut contents into 8 even slices.

Open a box of Velveeta.  Cut two slices.

Cover one slice of bread with Hellman's Mayonnaise.

Place Two Pieces of the Spam on the bread.  Place Two Pieces of Velveeta on top of the Spam.

Place the second slice of bread on top.  Slice the sandwich into two pieces making sure that one slice of Spam stays on each side of the knife.

Enjoy lunch.  Especially good with root beer Kool-Aid or a Tab.

I'm up, I'm up.  I awoke to no Internet service.  After exhausting all possible fixes, I suddenly realized I probably was delinquent on a bill - I've gotten into the habit of paying by phone (I don't really know why) and I just forgot.  So, I called, paid, and here I be.  I hate my occasional senility and should probably go back to writing checks.

THE VISIT is back on Broadway?

Miss Frances Farmer was in a production of the show in October, 1965, she designed her own makeup and happened to be wearing most of it when she ran her Edsel into the median of the highway on the way back to Indy from West Lafayette one evening.

The police were not amused.  

The above recipe is from one of Nick Malgieri's books.  I've made it a few times, but have found that it doesn't necessarily come together the way it "sounds" like it should in the published recipe. -And I have found a couple of comments online along the same lines.  In any case, here are some of my notes:

Matcha is the Japanese Green Tea that is used for the traditional tea ceremony.  It is powdered.  If you can’t find proper matcha, then it is very easy to grind your own leaves in a clean coffee-spice grinder.  It will take about 3 to 4 four tablespoons of tea leaves to make the 2 tablespoons of powder.  As for the type of tea to buy, Gyokura is the right type.  If you can’t find that, any good quality green tea will work.  And if all you can find are tea bags, then just cut them open and empty them into the coffee grinder – that’s what I had to do!  You can also experiment with the type of tea in this recipe.

This batter comes together very “interestingly”.  When you fold the egg whites into the batter, you will deflate a lot of the whites.  I actually think there is something missing in the recipe, but it seems to come out fine.

Additionally, the original recipe calls for 2 pans, but I think it would make a more traditionally looking pound cake if made in one pan.  –Or in two smaller loaf pans, 8 x 4.

Could you replace the green tea with some ground coffee?

Perhaps, were Mr. Lopez to do the remaining performances au natural, the grosses might go up!

BK, if you went back to jogging every day, you wouldn't have to be so good about what you eat.

I have always thought that Spam was best when served with a Fresca.
