I can't wait to read about QueenBee's boring lame-ass attempts at real cooking.
I hope someone posts a SPAM recipe. I am curious if my thirty year old son is the only one in the world who loves SPAM. PS He is a gourmet cook. Go figure.

I love spam. Spam and Velveeta sandwich. Mmmm.
Lobster Thermidor Aux Crevettes with Mornay Sauce, Truffle Pate, Brandy, Fried Egg and Spam
Ingredients
4 lobster tails
16 jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
4 tablespoons butter
1 small white onion, diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon brandy
1⁄2 cup heavy cream, scalded
1⁄4 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1⁄8 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons bread crumbs
1 12-ounce can Spam Classic
4 eggs
1 can truffle pate (found in gourmet food stores)
1 tablespoon vegetable or peanut oil
Directions
Preheat oven to broil.
Place lobster tails into large pot of boiling water. After 3 to 4 minutes, add shrimp. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes until lobster and shrimp are done.
Remove from pot. Drain and rinse under cold water. Using kitchen shears or carefully with a knife, remove but save lobster shells. Cut lobster meat and shrimp coarsely into 1/2-inch pieces.
Heat 4 tablespoons of butter in skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute about 4 minutes, until translucent. Add flour and stir, cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes.
Whisk in brandy, then hot cream.
Remove from heat and add Gruyere and half the Parmesan cheese, stirring frequently. Add lobster, shrimp, paprika, salt and pepper.
Arrange lobster shells in a casserole dish. Pour lobster shrimp mixture over shells and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Broil on high until golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
While waiting for the dish to broil, slice Spam into 8 pieces. Fry eggs over medium heat, then remove. Fry Spam slices until light brown.
To serve, place each lobster shell on a plate. Top with one or two slices of Spam and then a fried egg. Serve truffle pate on the side.
TRIVIA: which has more calories per sprinkle?
1- SALT
or
2- PEPPER?
No fair looking it up (or pm'ing Duchess for the answer).
My mom had an obese friend named Fern and I remember going to her house one day and seeing her eat a spam and cheese sandwich with mayo dripping out of the side of her mouth. I've never really had a desire to eat spam after that. I didn't even know it came in different flavors, seems like one would be good enough.
Dear immortals, I need some

No sugar crash yet, but I've been awake for about 24 hours, time to try and get some sleep.
