silly
I’m on the road this week, dealing with family stuff, and I’ve ordered BBQ twice to the hotel for dinner. I must be hungry, and I’ve got BBQ on the brain. Anyway, while the source here is not not quite the Wall Street Journal, this article from Travis Sams for WKDQ Radio managed to catch my eye. The topic: How to make (fake) burnt ends out of SPAM. I think my low sodium diet might preclude me from actually trying this one out, which is a bummer, because I like both SPAM and burnt ends, and I’m really curious about this one. Somebody among the Spam Resource readership will have to test this one out and let me know how it tastes.
Today in “what the hell, I can’t even” news: Fax machines are still a thing and fax spam is still a problem thing. Read more about it at Bloomberg. Alas, the article does not indicate whether or not telegram spam is still a problem.
Is 2022 the year that marks the death of email? That seems a bit doubtful, as killing off a communication technology seems to be nigh impossible. Just consider the story of the telegram, of which seventeen million are still sent annually. Amazing, if you ask me.
Pictures are neat. Put the email in the slot?This is a test, please ignore! Sorry for the spam.
I hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving Holiday. Maybe you’ve got a long weekend ahead or perhaps you’ll need to be up and ready to provide deliverability support for those Black Friday email campaigns. Either way, I hope things go smoothly and that you have a good one.I hear that supply chain issues could interfere with turkey deliveries, so don’t forget that our good friend SPAM® Oven Roasted Turkey is always available as a backup.Disclaimer: Neither I nor Spam Resource are connected to Hormel or the foodstuff known as SPAM in any way. I’m just a fan! Please don’t sue!Take care and I’ll see you back on the blog and in email soon!
I’m saddened to find that pumpkin spice spam didn’t seem to be available this year, but if you’re looking for a spammy meal in the spirit of the season, this recipe from Caroline Choe of the Today show might just do the trick. Cornbread Dressing with Spam and Sun-Dried Tomatoes sounds pretty good to me, and they’re even being careful to use low sodium spam. Which is probably still high in sodium, such as it is. Check it out here. Yum!
This isn’t the first time I’ve blogged about vegan SPAM, which is a sentence I never thought I would write. But here we are, and it’s making my brain hurt.From VegNews: “Hormel Foods Corporation—known best for its canned meat product SPAM—is developing new plant-based meat alternatives. Under an exclusive partnership with food-technology company The Better Meat Co., Hormel’s venture company 199 Ventures will work to bring new plant-based meat products to the market using The Better Meat Co.’s unique fermentation technologies.”Read more about it here. Also, WHUT?!
