@caroled just suggested that.  I might try that since I was ok with the taste.  But, you know, bacon actually exists.  Do I really need to work that hard to eat something that I'm "ok with the taste" about? LOL

 

I don't consider Spam something I'd plan ahead to have for dinner.    More of a "What is there?   Nothing?    What's lurking toward the back of the emergency shelf?   Ahhh, Spam."     I agree with Kim's description of its textural aspects.    It's personal taste.    I kind of like the contrast of crispy/melt in your mouth interior.    But can see how others might not see it in those terms.

Inspired in part by @rotuts's curry chicken salad breakfast from yesterday's post, I used some leftover roasted chicken, curry spices, onion, celery and TJ's Mango Ginger Chutney to make some of my own.

I went light on the chutney and ended up dolloping more on top.   I would have liked some crisp, tart apple in here but it still hit the spot.

love your eversion , Ex celery .   at least you didn't add a GBP

 

love the idea of chutney for spice and some sweetness

 

id have considered adding some shredded carrot for crispness , which is one of my Big TakeAways from TJ's pred.

 

then I have to go out and get a carrot !

 

isn't eG the Best for Outstanding Ideas . or what !

 

the CurryChickenSalad might be a nice place for some firm , Ripe Avocado Chunks ?

 

And They're Off !

I used walnuts, lightly toasted, because they were handy. Pecans would be nice but I’m hoarding a small bag because they are so $$.

I meant to buy cashews per your post but I forgot. They are awfully tempting to nibble on, too!

@blue_dolphin

 

I completely agree with you

 

Nuts whoosh be fresh 

 

and I think TJ's takes care of this.

 

Pick Your Nut !

 

but please make sure it hasn't sit on the Shelf 

 

for 2 years !

 

and re : cashews  :   good to inhale !

 

I thank the Gods of TJ;s

 

they do not carry , at a reasonable price 

 

i.e.  : at my price point 

 

Macadamia Nuts !

It was a 2 bruschetta breakfast with a few peas from a friends garden and some pan fried smoked pork tongue to round things out. Avocado toasts, one with homemade marinated mushrooms and Swiss and the other with the more traditional tomato / basil / garlic. Not real happy with the photos, but my good camera is still in the car from our last excursion.

Interesting that your 8" cast iron skillet with handle fit into the CCSO.     

 

@Margaret Pilgrim, My 10" cast iron skillet that measures 15 1/2" with handle also fits into the CSO.  Has to be on the bottom rack though.

 

Baked this morning.

today's breakfast was sustenance...Bob's Red Mill multigrain hot cereal with some protein powder mixed in. Rather concrete-like. A small mango (Altufo?) that was pretty good. Thankfully there is some of that mozz leftover in my office fridge so I can look forward to Friday's breakfast.
