You know you’re in Hawaii when…

The other day, we were having a retirement party for one of the ladies who works here, and someone chanced to make a delicious pan of golden-brown, lovely, nutricious … spam and cheese squares! Sound strange so far? (they were actually kind of good, but don’t tell anyone)

Here’s the crazy part:

We’re talking to the PHM (personal home management) teacher about the recipe later, and one of the staff asked her where she obtained the recipe; the staff member thought they were delicious. “Well,” says the instructor, “I actually got it out of a boy scout cookbook.”

“No way,” I replied. “They actually even take spam so far that it’s in church and boy scout cookbooks?”

“Sometimes,” she told me. “But this one is actually a recipe for spinach and cheese squares, but I looked in the freezer, and I noticed that we had no spinach left, so I just substituted spam.”

…

That’s all you can really say to that.
