People on this rock go crazy for cake noodle. I'm not sure why
that is. It's very disappointing for da Hawaiians to find out
there's no cake noodle on the mainland.
Why should they expect to find such a niche dish anywhere but
Hawaii? We have two Hawaiian restaurants within an hour's drive of
here, and neither one has cake noodles.
You're not going to find cake noodle in any Hawaiian restaurant. What surprises the Hawaiians is that it's not sold in Chinese restaurants
on the Mainland. Da Hawaiians are also surprised that fruit punch is
not sold in McDonald's either. Is that too much of a niche item on
the mainland?

Supper is not on the stove, but the prep work and clean up for
this meal has been completed and now it's break time.
Tonight's meal will be frozen green beans, small scrubbed and
quartered Yukon gold potatoes, along with plenty of chopped
ham. All will be cooked in the same pot and there will be
leftovers for a few days and will share with a neighbor as
well. Most likely a skillet of cornbread will complete this
meal.

Tonight's dinner was canned corned beef and onions. Unfortunately,
all we had was red onions. The corned beef was a little weird
since it didn't have much fat in it. That was similar to the last
can I bought. It's not like the canned beef that I grew up with.

Kimchi is a nice addition, those red onions, they do tend to purple
out some.
I agree that tinned corned beef is nowhere near like it used to be.
And what happened to tinned DAK hams?
Shit's been degrading...

Tastes like ham, but it's not ham...
This is the fault of Dak for calling the product Premium Ham. It
is, in fact, ham-flavor potted meat product. Its look and texture
has been compared to Spam, but that's not quite it. I cooked it
like ham, scoring the top and adding brown sugar, then drizzling it
with water to make a glaze. And although it smells and tastes like
ham, it has the consistency and look of souffl|- or jello parfait.
It is fluffy and can be eaten with a spoon. I have been looking for
meats that can be stored without refrigeration, but this will not
be one of them.
Yuck!
This was pretty disgusting. I remember my mom making a canned him
every once in a while when we were kids and I liked it. This one
was not like meat it seemed almost like it was a paste put into her
shape of a ham. I tried to doctorate up I scored the top of it put
cloves in and baked it for a while but still not very good.
That's the modern age for you. I'm surprised that they can even call
that stuff "ham." It is a soft paste that's been piped into a pan and
heated. The most brilliant thing about it is the shape, which I think
is wonderful.

It was cooked in a waffle iron. It was just so-so.

END OF AN ERA: Minute Maid, owned by The Coca-Cola Company, is preparing to discontinue its frozen juice concentrate products, a move that has sparked a wave of nostalgia among longtime fans online.
The change is expected to take effect in the first quarter of 2026 as
the company responds to shifting consumer demand. Remaining cans will stay on shelves until supplies are exhausted.

When I was a kid, mixing up the frozen OJ was one of my jobs. I cut
my hand on one of those pull top lids. I can't say how I did it but
the lid slashed my hand across 4 fingers. It was a damned bloody
mess. It was shocking to see the fingers bleeding like that. I'll
probably have a flashback of the view when I die. I wrapped up the
mess and finished the OJ mixing. As usual, I didn't tell my parents
about it. The ones with the plastic strip were a lot safer. I can't
say that I'm sad to see frozen OJ concentrate disappearing forever. I
never found that job to be very life fulfilling. We drank too much of
that stuff anyway.
Cooking stuff in the waffle iron is so easy that I feel guilty aboutSuccess guilt is the best guilt!
