was a latchkey kid growing up. most of my childhood was sauteing spam with green onions and having it with white rice and eggs sunny side up. only thing my parents trusted me to safely make

Same for me. Fried spam, eggs, and rice was a staple when I was learning to cook in middle school. The same goes for canned Corned Beef hash.

^^^ Good for y'all for going to the effort to cook for yourselves when you were younger.
I was too lazy. If I was hungry after school, I'd settle for cold cereal, cold sandwhiches (PB&J or bologna & cheese) or something microwaveable, if we had it, like Hot Pockets or Pizza Bagel Bites. SMH @ me

I wasn’t even allowed to cook growing up.
My mom is neurotic/borderline OCD, so making a mess or breaking something in the kitchen was absolutely out of the question. Most I could do was make myself a cold sandwich or throw a hot pocket in Chef Mike if I was hungry.
Ironically my mom’s cooking is what inspired me to start cooking on my own. At home I wasn’t even allowed to help out of fear that I might mess something up, but once I moved out I got bored of frozen meals from Trader Joe’s real fast. I decided I needed to take matters into my own hands.
Made a ton of mistakes along the way, but it’s been history since. Now I show up to the holidays and I’m expected to do the majority of the cooking. My mom tacitly acknowledges that I do a good job, but any time I suggest a better way of doing something I immediately get the Mandelbaum treatment:

Born in Hawaii raised there for some years.
With that being said, spam is a comfort food for me. With rice. With eggs. With fried rice. In a sandwich. Idc.
Unfortunately, since I’m now I’m my 40’s, I have to be much more weary about my spam consumption. For my lipids sake.

went to Pizzeria Lola which was one of Chef Ann Kim's places on that Chef's Table: Pizza doc. definitely didn't disappoint. we got a few pies but had to try the lady zaza which is sorta her featured pizza. it's very korean inspired and tasty as ****:
the other ones we got that i didn't take a pic of was the forager, korean bbq, margarita, and my sha-roni. they were all really good. also got the cacio e pepe wings which were pretty good. highly recommend if anyone is visiting the twin cities

i know Young Joni has the same pizzas but they have a bigger menu too right? i didn't look at their site or anything but from the Netflix show it seemed like a restaurant that was a little less casual and had some really interesting dishes besides just pizza. wish i had more time here to check that one out too

Where else did you eat here?

Same. Though we didn't eat spam. Did canned corned beef instead.
Just brought back memories. Haven't had it in 10+ years. Might grab one at the grocery store next time just for the nostalgia.

started baking bread during the pandemic and recently tried my hand at making a detroit style pizza. made this the other day. for anyone thinking about trying this out, dough was hella easy to prep and turned out fluffy and thick. just get yourself a lloyds pan and youre good.
