… which as you can probably figure out, is jambalaya with Spam in it. No photos, we ate it up too soon. But it was basically some onion and yellow pepper fried up till soft, with some mushrooms and the chopped-up Spam and some chopped-up chorizo sausage all added in and fried a little bit too. Then all the spices - with much chilli - and the rice got added in, stirred around, and then the stock added in on top. Oh, and some pineapple to give it a nice Hawaiian feel.

It was surprisingly tasty, and will be a good way to use up the other can of Spam that’s been in the cupboard for way too long.

Also today, I am mostly … listening to the Lions beat the Springboks

… at rugby, via live internet-streamed radio. And I was paying attention to the score in the women’s singles final at Wimbledon too. Ah, the power of the interwebs - what the hell did we do before?

It was nice to get a win in the Lions test series anyway, even if it was a bit too late. But I’m glad I didn’t put any money on Venus winning, as I almost did. Don’t have a bet on for the men’s tomorrow either, but I suspect Federer might clinch it. Although it’s probably a good idea not to underestimate the power of the Roddick serve, after yesterday.

I love big sporting occasions. And if that makes me a fair-weather fan, and unworthy in the eyes of the dedicated followers, then so be it.
