Leftovers , glorious leftovers

I made some spaghetti and meatballs. I sprinkled some green can cheese on it but the cheese came out clumpy. It was weird. After staring at it for a while, I realized it was mini-marshmallows bits. Kraft will put those things in the same container as their cheese. I found a big container of grated cheese that was better than green can cheese. Unfortunately, it was moldy.

Were they Kraft Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallows?
"corn syrup, sugar, modified cornstarch, dextrose, water, contains
less than 2% of gelatin, tetrasodium pyrophosphate (whipping aid),
natural and artificial flavor, blue 1"

The blue 1 is a nice touch.

Ok, Mrs I, here comes the Kraft Jet-Puffed Mallow Bits, Vanilla:
"sugar, corn syrup, water, modified contains less than 2% of gelatin,
sodium phosphate, natural and artificial flavor, blue 1."

No whipping aid! But it has the blue 1. All is good.

Sounds like the old traditional, "Shit on shingles"
meal. Good stuff.

[Dave Smith]

We went to the Legion to get take out fish and chips. Glad I got there
early because there was a huge line of cars. You have to drive around
the back, someone comes out to take your order and then brings it out.
It was pretty good.

  Not really ... SOS is usually either chipped beef or ground beef in a
white sauce/gravy , served over toast made from stale bread . Shoot , by
your definition Bisquits and gravy would be SOS ... There's a truck stop
restaurant (well , useta be , dunno now) that was called the Cross X
Cafe , one mile east and one mile south of Tremonton Utah . One of the
favorites was hot ham/beef/pork open faced sandwich . Sliced meat on
white bread , with a nugget of sage dressing under the meat . A pile of
mashed potatoes at one end , salad at the other . Meat and taters
covered with brown gravy , and it was cheap . My first job was pearl
diving in that place , it's where I met my wife , lots of memories there .

SOS, chipped beef in cream sauce on toast is the most expensive meal
the US Navy serves... chipped beef is quite pricey... why they often
use ground beef.

I prepared enough SOS to fill an oil tanker, never served on stale
bread, always served over fresh white bread toasted. I baked bread
every night, no preservatives were used... all was eaten the next day
and that night I started over. There were no bakeries at sea so the
only packaged bread aboard was from the day we left our US port...
there's isn't space to store much food aboard ship. The supply ships
high-lined foods at sea but never any baked goods, only baking
ingredients like flour... was in 60 pound paper sacks, each contained
six ten pound bags... flour was stored in the same compartment with
sugar, salt, rice, beans, other dry ingredients, and some canned
goods, like coffee; cases of 20 pound rectangular cans to save space,
very likely why SPAM is in rectangular tins, only thing is I never saw
any SPAM aboard ship, we had very good quality 10 pound canned hams
(Armour Gold Star), stored in the reefer... I think only the US Army
was fed SPAM. The US Navy was the best fed on the planet, and the
enlisted men ate much better than the officers, because the officers
had to pay for their meals and they were all cheapskates when they
made up their menus... they had their own cooks too,
pineapples/stewards.

I don’t serve pasta often. A few days ago, I made stewing-beef
stroganoff, and I made mostaccioli and meatballs today with green can
parmesan. Neither were photo-worthy. Hmm...I must be serving pasta more
than I thought.

Green can cheese is good. I call it "Italian MSG." I don't care much for pasta dishes but I'm going nuts with coming up with new dishes. The family likes it though. Perhaps lasagna would be okay. I kinda like this guy's prep. He's the most fearless of cooks.

Actually you're wrong, the Mayans invented noodles, made from corn
tortias. And the Jews invented fermented veggies, as in pickles, my
favorite being pickled green tomatoes, another New World dish. If not
for the foods from the New World the Asians would have starved...
seafood can get boring. Asians have never been inventive, Asians are
good at copying/stealing. If Asians were inventive they would have
beat the Wright brothers to air travel, if they had motorized their

Well the word is derived from one of the Chinese languages.

[Dave Smith]

The Chinese has a sauce made of fermented fish and salt and it had a
name that was anglicized to ketchup, got modified and evolved into a
tomato based product. They get credit for the name, but tomato ketchup
is a condiment that is nothing like the Chinese condiment from which it
got its name.

Your citations are absolute nonsense, based soley on modern
expectations... like claiming egg noodles are pasta. Different noodle
like foods have been made from many substances from everywhere on the
planet... there are cultures that made noodles from plantains and
other starchy plants... fried strips of potato can be defined as
noodles, same as their are rice and buckwheat noodles. But pasta and
egg noodles each have a different precise culinary definition in
today's vernacular... pasta contains no egg. Pasta is as differerent
from egg noodles as matzo is from bread. Apples and oranges are both
fruit but are not the same. You need to educate yourself about how
that similar is not identical. Just because you weigh 130 lbs and are
5' 5" and wear a 32 B bra you need to realize that your boobs are not
similar to those for a 130 lb 5'5" woman who needs a 38 DD bra.
Well that's the difference between pasta and egg noodles. LOL

I had a steak last night and mixed up a sauce of ketchup, dark soy sauce, garlic, Sriracha, honey, and oyster sauce. That's good eats! It also occured to me that beef and tuna will be coming down in price because there will be a lack of people buying meat. The price of Spam might go up. Please buy Spam before the price goes up.

I'd like to try kim chee but wouldn't dare try to make it

Is there a decent brand that you can buy? I've never thought

an Asian market.

I'm not sure you should make kimchee even after you know what it's
suppose to taste like. I made some in my garage once, and it stunk
up the joint. But it was delicious.

I doubt there's a national brand. My regular grocery store carries
kimchee in a refrigerated case in the produce section. But, y'know,
college town.

I'll try to remember to look for it. At least you've given me an
idea of where to look other than the asian section of shelf
stable items.

Of course, first I'll have to remember what to use it with.

What they don't publicize is that the vast majority of the workers in

Cargill has a big plant in the Philippines.
The Canadian one slaughters about 30,000 cattle per week.

Depends what kind of meat, national brands of cured pork is in short
supply here but there is plenty of all meats from our the local
farms... the Tops Market in town here is fully stocked with fresh
meat. I'm surrounded by Black Angus farms... plenty of pig and
chicken farms too. There's a smoke house right in town, if you're a
bacon lover you will drool if you drive by with your car vents open.

Gary:
I always have a batch of this on hand:
https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/easy-kimchi
"Easy" because you just stir the goop into the chopped wilted cabbage.
The beauty of home-made is that you can adjust the recipe for spicyness, garlickyness, etc. For instance, I use a glob of shrimp paste instead of the salty squid since I never remember to get salty squid when I'm at an asian market. :-)

> Is there a decent brand that you can buy? I've never thought

Don't have an answer for you, but home-made is easy, cheap, and delicious, either freshly made or cold-fermented in the fridge for a month or two.

But look for commercial kimchee in the refrigerated case, in the vicinity of pickles. Or make friends with a Korean (which is how I got started).

Like Cindy, most of the time I just eat it as a side, but also:
- Chopped fine and used as a relish on a grilled protein.
- Whizzed in the FP and used as a marinade.
- In a grilled cheese sandwich (really!)
- In scrambled eggs.
- Stirred into those cheap packages of ramen noodles for an easy lunch.
- "Camping" stew using canned mackerel (also on maangchi's site).

Oh, and make sure you use genuine Korean coarse red pepper flakes.

Good luck.

But you don't have any intellectual property :)

[dsi1]

People will be buying less meat so the price should go down. They're buying less because a lot of them will have a greatly reduced income. Some of them will have no income at all.

[dsi1]

When we moved to California back in 1977, I was delighted to find some kim chee in the Albertson's supermarket. It was a Hawaiian style kim chee that was pretty tasty. These days, my guess is that most of the kimchi sold in stores is Korean style, which is a hotter, more intense, type of kimchi. OTOH, I might be wrong about that. Hawaiian kim chee is more suitable for mainlanders because it's less hardcore.

Are we finally getting your famine? Are we finally going to rejoice
over a can of spam in the back of a cupboard?

When it all goes down like it's gonna go down, you will learn to love Spam and other assorted canned meats - including cat food.

You're not the most cheerful chap, are you?

[Dave Smith]

The point would seem to be that it is the lifestyle of the workers that
has led to the virus running rampant and doesn't really have much to do
with the plant. I imagine it is not the best lace to work and probably
doesn't pay as much as those now rare jobs in the oil fields,
Filiopinos are well known for their frugal life style here because they
send a lot of money back home to their families.

Says the guy who is holed up in his mountain shack full of toilet
paper and smoked brisket.

Here's an article about a man who said corona virus was a political
ploy. He's dead now. Of corona virus.

Actually, it does! they work close together on the production line with
nothing in the way of N-95 masks and equivalent protection.

[Dave Smith]

They could wear all that stuff at work, but then they go home to their
crowded apartments.

That's right folks, nothing to see here. Just keep on moving along. Nothing to see here. Just keep on moving along. Nothing to see...

[Terry Coombs]

  Oh quit being an asshole . Yes , there is a problem , no it's not as
dire as the major news outlets would have us think . Turns out that
there are studies  - and more coming all the time - that show that a
much larger percentage than previously thought is actually showing
immunity . That indicates that many if not most that get the virus
probably don't even know it . I'm pretty sure though we've not been
tested that my wife and I will both test positive for antibodies . Our
kids/grands in
Memphis have all been very ill with the typical symptoms , the wife and
I have both been down a bit but not as bad as them . We're not being
fanatical , but then we're not going out planting big juicy kisses on
every stranger we meet either .

[dsi1]

It's all a matter of perception. You believe that not knowing you have the virus is a good thing. That it means we're somehow protected. I see it as very bad news i.e., it can pretty much be spread undetected and unchecked. The reality is that in order to prevent the most amount of deaths, we have to isolate ourselves from each other. Your reality is that you're willing to take a 3 or 4 percent or more death toll in order to keep the American way of life moving. it is people like you that should be ignored. OTOH, as I said, it's all a matter of perception.

[graham]

That may be so but have you noticed that large abattoirs throughout the
USA are similar hotspots for the virus?

[Terry Coombs]

So much spin on my words that I'm getting dizzy . Do you by chance have
a liberal arts degree from a liberal university ?

[dsi1]

I don't have any interest in spinning your words. You got a right to voice your opinions, the same as any other American. OTOH, if you feel the need to give out your opinion on my opinion, you can count on me giving my opinion on your opinion of my opinion. That's fair, right? My suggestion is that you use this forum to clarify and explain what your position is - or don't. I don't care what you do - just as long as you leave me out if it.

I'm a bit late in responding but I do thank you for all you
wrote. I've saved it to refer to someday. I will look for some in
the grocery store. :)
