Google recipes

Sometimes Google is just a nosy bastard. It scans my e-mails for subjects, then tailors the ads around them. But when I go to my spam folder, it gives me recipes for what to do with that shit that comes in a can surrounded by some pink, gelatinous goo.

Potato-chip Spam casserole? Spam sushi? Spicy Spam kabobs?

I'd like to tell Google exactly what it can do with Spam.

But just in case you have a can of Spam lying in wait in your pantry and want to get rid of it before... well, it probably isn't going to get worse with age, but, just in case this sounds good, here's the spicy Spam kabob recipe:

1/4 cup lemon juice
3 Tbsp. minced onion
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. whole oregano leaves
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
16 pea pods
1 8-ounce can pineapple chunks packed in light juice, drained
1 can SPAM, cut into 24 cubes -- pink jelly goo optional
1 red pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cups hot cooked rice

Combine first 7 ingredients in 9x12 dish. Wrap pea pods around pineapple chunks. Alternately thread SPAM cubes, pineapple chunks and bell pepper pieces on eight skewers. Place in dish with marinade.

Cover and marinade 2 hours, turning occasionally. Grill kabobs over medium-hot coals 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Or, broil 5 inches from heat source 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve with hot cooked rice.

Go ahead, if you want. I'm not gonna.
