Jen at Sadie Inspired is having a wonderful giveaway to celebrate her 100th post. Hop on over and enter before March 22, lovely prizes!
We have been having summery weather the past week. M loves it but I can't help but feel uneasy that this is not natural for the time of year. Anyway, my friend S and I went to a lovely Asian supermarket on the weekend and we bought some cans of Spam Light. I didn't realize there was such a thing. Mind you, it may be 25% less fat, but 1/6 of the can is 20% of your day's fat and 25% of your day's sodium! Ok, I shouldn't have bought it, but I suppose the idea is to use just a bit of it for flavour with say, eggs. I remember having Spam as a child but it's been a long time.
The supermarket was also giving out a lot of free food samples, so we tasted savoury green onion pancakes, ginseng tea and ginseng candy, meusli porridge (tasted like oatmeal), steamed spareribs with squash, curried lamb dumplings, seafood dumplings, and I forget what else. Suffice to say it was so much fun, it felt like we had made a trip to Asia. I'm also happy not to have any serious food allergies so I could freely taste everything.
