The Johnsons' Journal

Thanks to our friend Tony’s recommendation, we made our way to the SPAM Museum in Austin, Minnesota yesterday afternoon.  We spent about an hour learning about the history of Hormel, SPAM, and how fast we could package a box of SPAM at the world’s one and only SPAM Museum.

We even got access to hundreds of SPAM recipes in their Cyber Cafe. Here’s a recipe for Campfire Fried Rice:

Ingredients:
1 package (7oz) precooked rice
2 cups boiling water
1 package (1oz) fried rice seasoning mix
1 can SPAM® Classic 7 oz, diced

Directions:
1. Place rice in small bowl; pour boiling water over
2. Cover and let stand 5 minutes
3. Fluff with a fork
4. Mix in SPAM® Classic and seasoning mix
5. Transfer mixture to medium skillet
6. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring often
