Not a real post

I promise I’ll have a real live, legitimate post soon.  Really.  It’s just that I’ve been looking for a job and, you know, the economy is going down the toilet and I’m really easily distracted by articles that promise I can monetize my blog* and posts about what I should be doing with my resume, but not so distracted that I don’t still feel compelled to at least make an attempt to find a job, so the blog and baking have fallen by the wayside.  Which is sad and for two reasons.  One because both are my favorite things to do and two because I have both a Daring Bakers challenge and two Tuesdays with Dorie due (yes, I am a hopeless joiner).  Really, I’m so far behind I don’t know if I’ll ever catch up.  Maybe there’s something on the Internet I can read about panic attacks…

Anyway, I was checking my email compulsively (like you do) and I had a bit of spam.  I’m always curious what Gmail comes up with for ads in the spam folder and here you’ll have to forgive me.  I’m not an “early adopter.”  I just started blogging, I just started using Gmail – you’d think I’d just discovered that there was a magical way to talk to other people on your computer a few weeks ago.  So when I was cleaning out my “spam” and saw an ad for

SPAM SWISS PIE

I had to click on it.  Spam Swiss Pie?  Do the Swiss know what Spam is?  Maybe everyone does and I’m just clueless.  Anyway, because I don’t have anything else to post, here is the recipe I was treated to for my index finger full of effort.

    1                    Deep dish pie shell (9")
    6                    Eggs
    1       c            Whipping cream
    1/8     t            Pepper
    1       cn           SPAM Luncheon Meat, cubed
                         -(12 oz)

    2       c            Shredded Swiss cheese,
                         -divided

   Heat oven to 425'F. Bake pie shell 6-8 minutes. Reduce oven
   temperature to 350'F. In bowl, beat together eggs, whipping cream,
   and pepper. Stir in SPAM and onion. Sprinkle 1 cup cheese in pie
   shell. Pour egg mixture over cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheese over
   egg. Bake 45-55 minutes or until eggs are set.

I’m a little mortified that I’m about to say this, but it might be really good.  Especially if you’ve had a glass or two of box wine, which I’m certainly down with.  If you make…Spam Swiss Pie, will you please be sure to let me know how it turned out?

Cheers.
