I couldn't resist posting that pic JP.

I remember that era of time when people dressed like that. Was really a site to see. I think it was right around the Miami Vice time with Don Johnson.

[Stumpy]

It's 2021. Go on...

Game time is 5:20pm - Thursday night. 7:20 am - Friday morning here. I am definitely going to be wanting a 6 pack of beer and could easily have a few gone before 6:30 am if I had them......

Indeed.

Dem was the eighties. The preps with polo shirt with the collar turned up.

@JP - yup, I know that your ex-wife is Filipina. Your daughters (the one who recently married & the doctor) are half-Filipino. They're very pretty & must have good genes - from the mom's side!

Re: Spam, many Filipinos love them. It's big in Korea and/ or Japan too, due to the American bases/ military. In PH, Spam is expensive, so buying it is more of a class thing (hi-so).

I remember when I was a kid, my dad brought it from one of his trips. During that time, it was treated like gold, since it could only be bought from imported goods stores.

Nowadays, Spam can be found in most supermarkets. It's still more of a middle/ upper class thing since one can is ~150 pesos now (~3 usd). I'm not sure of the price, since I haven't bought it in ages. I don't eat much tinned food nowadays.

Btw, fried spam is good with rice. Here, some eateries even have a combo meal with it: Spamsilog (spam, fried rice & egg).

Cheers!

Spamsilog (spam, fried rice & egg).

Spamsilog. Just the sound of it is uncomfortable.

__ silog are combo meals, featuring garlic fried rice (Sinangag) and egg (itLog). It's usually eaten for breakfast. There are many variants:

Spamsilog = spam
Hotsilog = hotdog
Tapsilog = tapa (cured beef)
Tosilog = tocino (cured pork)
Longsilog = longganisa (sausages)
Cornsilog = corned beef
Tunasilog = tuna
Lumpiasilog = lumpia (spring rolls)

I'll try to take a pic of the tarpaulin of one of the eateries near me that offer these "silog" meals.

If you go to Mendip's lockdown/ ship/ vessel thread, I said there that the Filipino crew on his boat/ vessel would be happy eating rice, meat loaf or sausage and eggs for breakfast. That's essentially a spamsilog or longsilog (sausage meal).

God Bless You.....

[katie23]

^and you too! (and peace be with you too)

@shutree - I won't go out since it's started to rain, so I just looked for pics on the net. There's a spamsilog for you!

Spamsilog, chicksilog, cornsilog, etc (pic not mine but from the net)



The price of the meals are either 59 or 69 pesos. 1 usd ~ 50 pesos

[katie23]

Edit : double post, net issues

Thank you Katie. From my dive trips to the Philippines, longganisa is one of the few words I remember. We were boys on holiday, there many quips about sausages. What can I say?

Well another day in the books. Not much going on as one can imagine. Got a wellness call from the GM of the hotel today. A British guy. We chatted for a few about current Covid controls and upcoming changes. He said it has been extremely difficult to keep up with the ever changing rules. He said its even harder when people have checked in under one set of rules and then they change mid stay and there are no grand father allowances and we have to notify the guests and some get very upset.

I am thankful I can stream and watch the SF Giants. They beat up on the Colorado Rockies today. I usually do my workout routine while they are on. Being this is a workweek, I did a few work updates and contacted one customer.

Tonight was Lasagna for dinner with a nice mixed green salad and some garlic bread.

Thursday is Covid Test #2 at 8:30am. That marks the halfway point. Even with a negative test result there are no additional freedom privileges outside. It only allows guests to send out their laundry for wash but we have a washer and dryer so no upside for us.

Wife is staying busy talking to her sister, Aunt, Father and friends each day. My wife has been great as she has been ordering all the meals and items outside. Every time I ask her to sneak a few beers in on an order and I get the "Look"....

If you like Indian food, order some to be delivered. I had some of the best Indian I had in a long while there.

My wife makes this SPAM and kana (kale?) stir fry, which is a bit strange to be honest.

So does my wife
For the girl

Cyrille can call me "Snootish" anytime. I have certain palate standards.

So do I

Wouldn't touch it


(I'm a 'balcony' guy though....poll ?)

I couldn't resist posting that pic JP.

OK
I'd like to know

Where the fuck did you find that pic ?

Comes from from a danish satire/comedy series called Rytteriet (the cavalry).

Bloody good and you'll probably never know. (or do you ?)

Tuff luck, eh ?

[Saint Willy]

That marks the halfway point

Good ole Google.

Bloody good and you'll probably never know.

Probably not.

Well today was a bit odd to start. We were to have our 2nd Covid test tomorrow but they called and did it today. No idea why. Wife asked and the attendant did not know either.

Few pics on our way to it



Entire hotel is basically wrapped in saran wrap wall to wall including the elevators. The attendants who escort us are in full covered suits.



View as I waited to have my schnaze and back of my eyeball scrubbed.

[cyrille]

You need to be careful making these sort of comments or cyrille will along calling you "snootish"

Umm...what?

Guess you didn't like me suggesting that you frequently don't make much sense, eh?

Well...QED.

[Stumpy]

Lunch today



Beef stew with noodles, grilled salmon salad and Cheese cake

[aging one]

That looks really nice to me. Say you see Logan Webb and the Giants put on a good display of late season pennant chasing ball today? Damn Dodgers wont lose though.

[Stumpy]

Yeah Logan has been super sharp. Giants rolled again today. Finally seeing the balanced hitting. They were on a few week dry spell and couldn't get the knock they needed to win some close games.

I am fully convinced the Dodgers will not lose again... HAHAHA. So the Giants better just win.....

[ootai]

Umm...what?

Guess you didn't like me suggesting that you frequently don't make much sense, eh?

Well...QED.

Sorry to disappoint you cyrille but you didn't even come close to upset me with your suggestion.
What you actually did was sort of inspire because I learnt a new word i.e. "snootish" that I had never heard before always good to learn something new.

So when JP started denigrating Spam I thought it an ideal time to put the new word into use and just so i wasn't going to be accused of plagiarism I put in a reference to you as you were the source.

As for your QED that is only your opinion. I would rather think it isn't that the crap I post doesn't make sense but rather you just fail to understand which is actually not all that uncommon for people of limited mental capacity.

Good luck with trying to make sense of that.

[katie23]

On a lighter note...

JP, your food looks good. I'd like to have some of that blueberry cheesecake.

But...

You should take more artsy-fartsy pics of your food, for your Instagram (TD) fans. Take them at an angle, not directly from the top.

Cheers!
