Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam.

Possible stocking stuffer? Yesterday, we shopped locally in Maplewood. Anne bought some tea and books, and I got a Latte, but we mainly window shopped. We had lunch at Locoz Tacoz, a nice new to Maplewood taco joint that is located about where Las Pamas used to be. The Spam can was in Tale to Table, a specialty foods store. The proprietor called out to his only looking clientele, trying to engage them and asked for anyone to asked him a question about any product in his store. I bit. Apparently, this is the first new flavor of Spam that has been added since 2004.  Who knew? For three bucks a can, I thought that it was a good possible stocking stuffer. Do not worry, Anne did not. On the way back, we bumped into a couple of bike buddies, who steered us to the Blue Duck, where we found crème brûlée flavored macaroons. They were to die for. So, not much shopping accomplished, but we got lots of ideas.

We also manage to follow the football game while out and about. We saw the end of the half during lunch and were home in time for the finish. I am glad that Michigan won. First, I hate Ohio State and now there is a chance for peace at Christmas. Besides Jim Harbaugh is hardly the worse villain to attend high school in Ann Arbor. First there is me, then there is Charles J. Guiteau, the man who shot President Garfield, who could claim that title. He was originally charged with attempted murder, but when Garfield eventually succumbed to his wound, that charge was upgraded to murder. I think that that Guiteau got a bum rap, because it was Garfield’s doctor who really did it.
