I love SPAM.
That’s it? What a tease!
But one picture is enough to tell a story and what a great one it is…..heart spam!
Glad to see that you’re eating well and very authentic local stuff too! My little sis is in Hawaii and loves her spam to death.
So jealous that you’re in Hawaii!
Nothing says loving like ham from a can.
Excellent! I’ll be expecting more loco moco posts.
omg that looks so ono–i LURVE spam! you’re so lucky…what i wouldn’t do to be in hawaii right now!
Blech! I’m sure Hawaii is wonderful, but I’ll join you in shaved ice, not SPAM.
More for you, I guess.
Hope you are having fun! You are going to put us all to shame with your tan self on Saturday!
what a lovely postcard. : )
nice…i’m going to be in 3 days!!
Gastronomer, you inspired me to get a locomoco today at lunch. I’m still full!
