Obama (hearts) Spam Musubi!


Remember, a couple of months back when Gina Tsai ordered a big pan of "Spam Roll" for our Knot Just Knitting meeting? And most of us had never heard of it and didn't know that it was really called "Spam Musubi?"

Well, On Sunday a New York Times pool reporter disclosed that Barack Obama ordered "spam musubi" for lunch during a golf outing in Hawaii.

Just remember - you read about it here first!

Happy Holidays!
