It doesn't get any better than that under any economic circumstances.

...
so...how much kimchi are we talking?
11/15/08
Depends on how much you like kim chi.
For two people, I use 1/2 can of Spam (or even Spam Lite) and 1.5 cups of rice (before it's cooked), and probably about 1/2 cup of kim chi. But you could make it spicier and less dry with more kim chi or saltier with more Spam.
I like to fry the hell out of it and get some nice crispy rice on the bottom, so I try to use kim chi that's really soaked (not stuff that is a little dried out.)

Sorry, you pork eaters of America, but I maintain that ham is inedible and is only good for comedy. A slab of Velveeta looks futuristic but I would never put it near my mouth. Miracle Whip? Meh. In a pinch, maybe.

I grew up poor. Can you tell?

(It's been years since anyone called me 'morning glory'! *swoon*)

You can glimpse the moral conundrums I had to push through growing up in such a family.

I can't even imagine what Spam is like. At the most I prefer to only ever view the outside of the sealed tin.

Maybe if you think of Spam as being porcine gefilte fish. You must admit there's a resemblance.

May I recommend to you a Japanese/black guy from the South with partial Cherokee ancestry? I know a very cute one!

Beef prices are really low right now due to lower feed costs and a glut of supply (Thank you mad-cow).
Put some garlic salt&pepper (McCormicks California style) on your Ribeye and grill at 425 degrees for around 12 minutes. Take it off the grill once blood starts to collect on the top of your steak. Make sure you don't over-do the steak. It needs to be bloody or else you won't get as much virility. Add some A-1 sauce and you got yourself a meal baby!

SPAM is created from the pork shoulder and trimming of Hormel's Cure 81 hams. SPAM also stands for "spiced ham".

I also got all of my friends SPAM koozies in the gift shop. I was amazed at how reasonably priced the souvenirs were.

Spam's shelf life is longer, though.
