Spam POEM
SPAM Those from the islands consider it a feat to partake of this meat. They fry it for breakfast and the day's not complete unless it's stirred into soups simmered to red heat. (Refrain) Not even Charlton Heston would touch that intestine. A Chinese yam an old picnic ham All take a front seat to that pink, greasy meat. A preliminary exam of that container of spam reveals the discrete use of waste meat. Bowels and snouts the back of the lap mixed with chassis lube and other such crap. Teats, and feet stuff off the street compound the most part of that horrible meat. {Refrain) Yes, ma'am We are serving spam We are under the orders of Uncle Sam. We're conserving best cuts by eating the guts and conserving resources by grinding up horses

Batteries in remotes, cameras, and other devices
It's hard to keep track of your battery operated devices, Non-rechargeable batteries swell up, corrode, ruin terminals, etc. Check the devices you have, and try to check all of them! I remove the bad battery and clean the battery compartment, paying special attention to the + and - terminals, using straight vinegar and a swab. After the vinegar does its work, clean with isoprophyl alcohol, dry, install and test new batteries.

Everything You Need to Make Real Espresso at Home – Review Geek
Everything You Need to Make Real Espresso at Home – Review Geek: An espresso is a short strong coffee made by forcing near-boiling water through finely ground coffee with a lot of pressure. Espresso can be drunk as a “shot” or made into drinks like Americanos, cappuccinos, and lattes. Most people only drink espressos and espresso drinks made by professional baristas in cafés because, frankly, they’re a lot of work to make at home.

15 Creative Curry Recipes | Allrecipes | Allrecipes
15 Creative Curry Recipes | Allrecipes | Allrecipes: Curry, a staple of Indian cooking, is often a saucy dish that relies on heady spices — like ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and more — to add intense flavor. The main ingredients and seasonings vary per region, with North Indian recipes relying heavily on dairy products, Western focusing on more fish- and coconut-based dishes, Eastern Indian being a bit milder with spices, and Southern recipes showcasing a drier consistency. No matter what type of curry you choose, serve it with a hearty side of steamed rice and freshly-baked flatbreads to round out the meal.
