    ends in the blender, turned on the blender, and made himself what he called a "party shake".

    He drank the whole thing through a straw.

    Ohhhhh yuck. I'm all for trying new and different combo's, but no no
    no I won't try that no matter how desperate I got. LOL

    Too bad you weren't on the echo when Jim Bodle was active. His two best
    food items were SPAM and maple syrup - niether of which scores well on
    my hit list.

    Title: Spam Stuffed Squid
    Categories: Pork, Seafood, Herbs, Breads, Wine
    Yield: 4 Servings

    MMMMM------------------------VINAIGRETTE-----------------------------
    Few drops of fresh squeezed
    - lemon juice
    4 tb Red wine vinegar
    2 ts Fine chopped garlic
    2 tb Dijon-style mustard
    2 ts Fine chopped rosemary leaves
    12 tb Olive oil
    Salt & fresh ground pepper

    MMMMM---------------------------SQUID--------------------------------
    2 tb Olive oil
    2 tb Fine chopped onion
    2 tb Fine chopped celery
    2 ts Fine chopped garlic
    12 oz Can SPAM; diced fine
    Salt & fresh ground white
    - pepper; as needed
    1 c Dry white wine
    1/2 c Plain fine dried bread
    - crumbs
    2 ts Chopped thyme leaves
    2 lb Squid tubes; cleaned

    FOR THE VINAIGRETTE: Combine the lemon juice, vinegar,
    garlic, mustard and rosemary in a small bowl. Slowly whisk
    in the olive oil until incorporated. Season with salt and
    pepper to taste.

    FOR THE SQUID: Heat the oil in a medium saute pan or
    skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and
    garlic; cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until the
    onion and celery are translucent. Add the SPAM, stirring
    gently to combine; season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Add the wine and cook for 4 minutes, until it has reduced
    so that the pan is almost completely dry. Sprinkle the
    bread crumbs in the mixture so that it lightly binds
    together. Add the thyme, stirring gently to combine. Taste
    and adjust the seasoning, adding salt and pepper as
    necessary. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool.

    Preheat the oven to 350ºF/175ºC.

    Have several toothpicks and a shallow baking dish at hand.

    Use your hands to stuff the cooled mixture in the squid
    tubes, filling them halfway; use the toothpicks to close
    each squid tube. Place the filled tubes in the baking dish
    and drizzle a little of the rosemary vinaigrette over
    them. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, then pull the toothpicks
    out of the squid, which should be opaque. Transfer the
    squid tubes to a serving platter and spoon half of the
    vinaigrette over them; serve the remaining vinaigrette at
    the table.

    No attribution given on the recipe - but, if it's not
    from Jim Bodle it should be as it combines two of his
    favourite things ... SPAM and squid.

    I like them both... Together? Yeah I suppose that wouldn't be too bad
    if some maple syrup got on the spam with my pancakes. As it's ultra
    processed that's something I can eat as it's basically digested in the can before you eat it. lol
