I am not making this up.
Gmail, like other free applications, includes "banner" ads, usually related in some way to the topic you are dealing with at the time. Kind of creepy.... "stop watching what I'm writing about!"
So last night I was cleaning out 82 spam messages from the WednesdayFestival account. And when I finished, as once before, I was presented with the cheery message, "Hooray! No spam in here!" and also a recipe via a link at the top of the "spam mailbox:"

Yuck. All I can say is, Yuck, no, Super Yuck! Please note that the evil person who made up this recipe is not taking credit for it!
Question: why, if we are eating Spam, are we using a non-stick skillet and nonfat yogurt instead of sour cream? To reduce the FAT, maybe?
As my mother would say: Good Lord, Miss Agnes.
