Mmm...Spam.

Despite our love of Spam Musubi and Spam, Hawaii does not have the title of highest consumption of Spam in the world per capita?

Apparently Guam has it.

Also, did you do the crap drawing, Robyn? If so, crap has never looked so cute.

How to Make Spam Musubi

This is not the first time i've made this recipe.
Just made some tonite for my lunch tomorrow and for 5 other people at work who wants it as well. With Kathy's musubi recipe, i added kimchee to mines...MMmmmMMMmMmm Ono-licious!

Here's something i like to add: sometimes when i'm just to lazy to make a meal, i like to prepare my spam like this:
-Slice spam
-lightly coat each single spam with white sugar
-heat pan (medium high) with a tspn of olive oil
-while waiting for oil to heat, set a side a plate with rice (pat down the rice as to make it even on your plate)
-fry spam until sugar carmalize to a dark brown or until your kitchen is filled with smoke (j/k)
-place spam over your rice (while your spam cools, the edge will crisp.
-kimchee on the side and START GRINDING! Hope you like it!!

*Making me hungry now*

Ryan is a cool dude and his site is great. FFC was one of my favorites and I am glad that he is also adding some local flavor to the site as well. Even though I live miles away, it is cool to see what is going on other places.

Thanks for posting this! I'm such a goof for not figuring this out sooner. The link was right under my nose since Feb. :O

As for the hockey mask, I figured it was a nod to it being Friday the 13th. :)

How to Make Spam Musubi

Living in Hawai'i for eight years is imbedded in my DNA....Spam Musubi ....truly a Hawaiian favorite snack or meal if you have two! The method and recipe here is good - but I've only had spam musubi made with the spam fried in teriyaki sauce - then placed on top of the block of rice - and a strip of nori about 2-inches wide wrapped around the center of the spam.

Going back to Honolulu for my yearly infusion of Aloha....I may be a native-born New Yorker, but my heart and soul is Hawaiian!

In between visits each year, I make Malasadas at home and buy spam musubi at a small sushi place around the corner from where I live....when I saw "spam musubi" on their menu I nearly fainted! Visit my website at www.cookwithaloha.com

Tim,
Everything is a lesson. You love to blog. Just change what you are blogging about. You are not held down to any one thing. Look at Ree from Pioneer Woman, she loves to tell stories and post pics and share her experiences and cook some food. Not every part of her blog is for everyone (I love her storytelling more than her cooking) but she puts out a great blog. It is the content that makes a great blog. So work on your content pick something you are passionate about and keep up updated.
Good Luck!

I'll join in and tell you that you've been missed here, FFC.

Oh, how sad. I really enjoyed the blog, and I was waiting for his review of Dunkin' Donuts' waffle sandwich as it goes head to head against McDonald's McGriddle (IMO: McDonald's wins).

Tim, please reconsider! Change the scope of the blog and the frequency of posts to fit your schedule and your lifestyle....

That is, of course, only if fast-food can still be a part of your lifestyle. Diets, healthy eating, recession-proofing your wallet...

Hey Tim,
I can only speak for myself, but I sure miss you here on SE, and have been hoping that life was treating you well. From the responses, I see that I'm not alone. If you hadn't closed comments on your wonderful website, you would have heard the same. That is NOT a failure! I hope a respite will give you back your fire, for you surely have that, along with your wonderful sense of humor. Lots of reasons to not sell out (kudos for that moral decision!), but it also gives me hope that you'll return and write again. We care!
Hugs, Deanna

I completely respect FFC's committment to the integrity of his website. It's a rare thing in this world these days not to "sell out" to the highest bidder, and he has shown he has integrity in spades.

A day late but it can't be helped. Happy birthday! I've been reading via RSS for about a year now and only signed up recently. I thought SE was a lot older, which says a lot about quality of content! I'm looking forward to reading for several more years. :)
