My Gmail account has an RSS-feed called a web clip at the top of the page.  I've set it up so that most links are to news items, but a few other links also show up.  Every once in a while I've noticed a link to a recipe for food that includes Spam.  For a long time this had me puzzled until I realized yesterday that I only notice the Spam recipes when I'm cleaning out my accounts spam folder.  The links are context-sensitive ads from recipesource.com. 

In honor of the light finally going on here is the recipe that came up yesterday:

Joe--you should come to Minnesota and visit the Spam Museum in Austin--Jeff

Judy, I fixed the link to the snow image.

Jeff, the Spam Museum is on my 'to do' list. Next month, though, I'm paying a visit to an automotive sculpture north of Alliance.

I've noticed the spam links on gmail, too, and wondered if they were intentional or not. I'm still on the fence about that one.

today's Spam recipe is for Spam breakfast burritos with Chi-Chi's salsa. You know, I haven't had Spam but once or twice, and that was a long time ago. Maybe I like it!
