I've never heard of pigs in a blanket made with Vienna sausage. That just seems wrong. And Vienna sausage always seemed too greasy and bad texture to me, although once heated/cooked might be better. But really, better to use regular small hot dogs, or those "Lil Smokies" sausages for mini versions. I've seen "recipes" for making those with pieces of biscuit dough that come from a tube, like Pillsbury. Those are smaller than the crescent rolls. But maybe just the regular biscuits, the Grands might also be too big.

A fried Spam sandwich - a Spamwich! - is still a favorite. On toasted bread. There are some other varieties of Spam available now too, including lower sodium. Might be worth a try for people who find/found it too salty.

I won't tell my mother you said that.

Lil Smokies are good for the PiB!

No worries. Lots of mothers make some things wrong, including my own. Mine used to make us those "Buddig lunch meat" type sandwiches (although I think we got Land O Frost) for school but sometimes with just one, or maybe two if we were lucky, "slices" of the meat. You might not even know it was there!

I don't ever get those small packages myself, except to make "Malibu Chicken" a la Sizzler restaurants. I get the 16oz of Land O Frost, usually both Oven Roasted Turkey and Black Forest Ham, and both together are enough to make just SIX sandwiches the way I like them. (Using one package of six sandwich rolls.) Or twelve if I'm feeling frugal. (Two packages of rolls.)

It's no secret that I'm one for nostalgia, and shows like Young Sheldon are a mental playground for me. Please join me for a brief jaunt down memory lane.

1.On the last episode of Young Sheldon, we saw him get his very first computer! How old were you when a computer was first introduced into your household? Do you remember what brand it was, and what you did on it?

2.How old were you when the internet was first introduced into your household?

3.Do you think that the internet has improved your life?

And one non-computer nostalgia question for fun:

4.What was something you had to eat growing up that you hated so much, you have never eaten it again as an adult

An Apple computer when I was nine. Not the brand name but a computer made from an actual apple. I was watching the Professor Proton show and he and Gino the Neutrino were explaining how to make one. It was powered by a potato clock and connected with asparagus cables with a mouse made from a chunk of cheese. I cut a hole into the apple and inserted crackers which acted as storage devices like little tiny floppy discs, or crunchy discs since they were crackers. It didn't take long for me to figure out it wasn't a real computer but a soon to be tasty lunch. The tomato modem, I made into sauce and the chunk of cheese mouse was nibbled on by an actual mouse. I did get the weirdest emails over it.

As for food I hated there is none. Well there was this one Cactus Pear that was a real prick.

I did experiment with recipes, for example PC cables with Marinara sauce and Microsoft Chicken.

Znex, I laughed until I was wheezing at this.

So tell me, what did you call the dish you made into a tasty lunch? Computer surprise? Apple, asparagus, and potato in a tomato reduction with cracker crust?

Perhaps you could open a restaurant of your computer creations and call it Computerized Cuisine. Microsoft Mess Hall? Laptops and Lard Blobs?

If it's OK with you, I'd like to be your nightly entertainment. At your restaurant I mean. Like as a singer or something.

Software soufflé of course. Well you had a better name: Apple, asparagus, and potato in a tomato reduction with cracker crust. Maybe add a Healthy Hardware Stew ?

I like Software Soufflé the best. Although don't soufflés have to have eggs? What part of your computer was the egg?

And I fear I crossed any chances of a restaurant off your list with my offer to become your lounge act. I promise I'm really good. I used to open for Engelbert Humperdinck.

The screen was the egg. It was a big egg, an Ostrich egg. An early version of the Imac. Except eventually the screen would crack and a bird would come out of it. Which Engelbert Humperdinck ? They are two of them. The Englebert who sang "Please Release Me" or the 19 century composer known for the opera "Hansel and Gretel" You are really dating yourself if you sang for either one of them.

The Engelbert Humperdinck who sang "After the Lovin" with his bushy mustache and jeans pantsuit. They'd send me out first to warm up the crowd. I'd crank up the thermostat to 80 degrees and hand out coats and gloves. I was only 3, but I did real good.

A bushy mustache and a jeans pantsuit ! Be still my Software Souffle
