Reminds me of growing up on Surplus Commodities.

Some things not bad, others GACK!

Every week we got a box of gubernut cheese, honey, oats, and a big jug of peanut butter, and powdered milk, single mom raising three kids and all. To this day I still love peanut butter and honey on wheat sandwiches! Took em to school every day!

I can't help but wonder why.....

Oh YA give me the CHEESE, the peanut butter here came in a can.

Took a lot of fried powdered egg sandwiches to school.

Don't remember getting any honey.

Big bags of oatmeal, rice, flour, corn meal, canned chicken, canned pork, and something that was supposed to resemble Spam but didn't come close.

That just might be a good thing!

I'm the only one here that likes Spam, it has to be fried though.

The green peanut butter wasn't bad, of course you had to stir the oil back into it.

 

I really liked that peanut butter.  It was a real treat to get bacon and was great on a peanut butter sandwich.

 You could not fry it long enough for me to eat it. Just the sucking sound it makes sliding out of the can & bouncing on the plate was enough to turn me off.

Yes, it was great stuff. My mom used to make peanut butter cookies with it also.

Sundays we made donuts with the flour.

I forgot to list the bags of sugar, and the canned shredded beef also.

Don't remember ever getting bacon.

Schlop! Same sound a canned ham makes.

 

Man is this bringing back some good memories.

Kind of wish they'd bring back the old Surplus Commodities Program.

Used to decorate the house, go all out. Had a bad experience with ex wife that killed the vibe for doing that.  Never did it again.  If I hadn't remarried I doubt I would put up a tree.  Thankfully Lena just wants a tree and that's it.

Peanut butter has kept me alive for 89 years. Love it on bread, toast, crackers, english muffins, on my fingers. You get the idea !

We love the stuff today. Can't believe how expensive it is these days though!

On the peanut butter, I like the natural roasted peanut butter with the oil standing on top.  The wife used to make it and much better than the sugared stuff in the stores.  

 

Grandson was in a school play one night.  The play was 2 shows to accommodate all the parents and families.  So, had to keep the granddaughter out for the first hour so to entertain her, drove her through several neighborhoods to see the lights.  She wanted to know why some didn't have lights outside.  I told her it may be because they weren't able for it cost money, it takes muscle to put it up and various reasons.  There was a time of silence and then she said, "I think those who don't decorate are just lazy!"  After we saw the show that night, I drove straight to Lowe's and purchased outside lights.  I installed them the next day.  She never called lazy.

I'm with you all the way. I like to mix it with maple syrup, to a fairly runny consistency, zap it for a 1/2 minute or so, then pour it over vanilla ice cream. 

 

As to SPAM; diced with diced onions and tomato, mixed in with scrambled eggs and topped with salsa, is fantastic.

Well I'd say let get together and meet somewhere and have brunch or something.  But the world appears to be closed at the moment.
