question:
what does 'cereology' mean? ive looked it up in every dictionary and i cant find it.

Answer:
Break the word into its root parts:

Cere and Ology

'cere' means - To wrap in or as if in cerecloth - usually corpses are wrapped in cerecloths, which are usualy wax and or paraphin covered linnens.

'a cere' can also mean the fleshy or waxlike membrane at the base of the upper beak in certain birds, such as parrots, through which the nostrils open. In otherwords a beak.

'ology' or 'logy'means Discourse; expression: phraseology.'ology' or 'logy' also means Science; theory; study: dermatology; sexology.

So my best guess is that Cerelogy means - the science of wrapping a corpse for burial.

My second best guess is that Cerelogy is a subgroup of Avian scientists who practice the study of Neophema beaks.

question:
1) How come nobody asks you for advice anymore?
2) Has anyone every invented a dessert containing Spam?

Answer:

1) I don't know why. Perhaps my answers are too long. I may be no good but clueless to that fact as well.

2) Technically late-night BBQ snacks are called dessert meat - meats grilled at midnight. So make some late night BBQ Spam and call it dessert...

OR you could make Baked Spam Gabon!!!

BAKED SPAM GABON
(Gabon)
Yield: 8 portions
Cut 2 contents of 3 cans of Spam� in uniformly rectangle pieces.

Beat: 1 EGG lightly with
2 Tbs. ORANGE JUICE.
Dip spam in egg mixture, then in

1/2 cup BREAD CRUMBS.
Heat 1/2 cup VEGETABLE OIL in a saute pan.

Saute the spam until they begin to brown.

Place on a cookie sheet pan with a spatula and bake at 350' for 5 minutes.

Serve 1 spam slice per guest in compote dishes topping each with:

3 Tbs. SOUR CREAM sprinkled with
1 Tbs. BROWN SUGAR.
There are many variations which can be tried using the basic recipe above. Spam may be dipped into the egg mixture, then in shredded coconut and baked for five minutes. Or you may use chopped peanuts instead of coconut. Or you may want to blend cracker crumbs with curry powder and cayenne pepper and proceed as above. All of these work well as accompaniments to any Vegan dish or may be used as dessert.

By the way, did you know that more Spam per capita is consumed in Hawaii than anywhere else in the U.S.?

For all the spam recipes you can handle go to this Hormel page.
