Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed this crazy video, ! At some point when there’s enough mishaps, you just have to shake your head and laugh! Getting angry wasn’t going to help me or anybody else so you know you’re not in control of that point and you just have to control your attitude. I have to say that as much of a fiasco this was most people in the airport were actually pretty kind and did not take it out on the flight personnel who had no control over the situation either.

Thank you! Unfortunately, this flight was to attend his sisters funeral. But we did have some good quality time together and with family during the trip.🙂

Eunice! I’m in the middle of watching your video, but wanted to comment before I forgot. My mother is Japanese, and we grew up eating Spam regularly, as an easy meal for us kids. Just recounting how she prepared Spam. She stuck a fork directly into the meat in the can, at an angle, then wiggled it out. When frying, because it is “fatty”, she used no oil, butter, etc., but she allowed it to crisp and brown with a cover on the pan, keeping the Spam juicy-she didn’t add any flavoring. We ate it with rice, and a splash of soy sauce. Many times, she would cut the slices into strips, add diagonally sliced celery, and a splash of water and stir fry it, served with rice. You can use any green, bok choy, spinach, Napa, etc. For my own children, I would make them “rice balls”, with a chunk of fried Spam in the center, and a splash of soy sauce, and put each ball,(about the size of an egg) in a baggie for car trips! Spam is so versatile, I hope you will experiment! ❤️

Hearing you guys laugh and make the best of the downturns, almost makes the mishaps worth it. You’ll never forget this- special memories and stories to tell. Beautiful. Tip to try for spam. My mom is Jamaican- she used to slice the spam, but then dip it in an egg (that she beat with a fork in a bowl) seasoned with black pepper, and I’d add a little onion powder to the egg mix. And then fry it till crispy. It’s really good! It cuts the saltiness.

Something I have started doing recently is making a big pot of something and then sealing them in small bags in bento box portions and sticking in the freezer. That makes preparing bento boxes for picnics or travel much easier. Yesterday I made a double recipe of oden and today I made a triple recipe of nishime, which I really love. I put in extra mirin and sugar since I like it on the sweeter side. Each freezer bag has about 1/4 cup, just enough for one bento compartment.

I squeeze the sides of the tin, then use a flat table knife to slide out the Spam. The original is way too salty for me so I buy the low sodium version. I cut it in strips before frying which makes it extra crunchy. We eat ours southern style with scrambled eggs, grits and toast.

I’m so glad I binged another video and it was this one! It was worth watching through to the end. I appreciate your positive attitude. It’s really the healthiest way to handle many things in life. I’m eurasian, too, and I wonder if you look like a perfect blend between your parents like me? Also, trick with the SPAM is to allow air to get in to the can - I just give it a bit of a squeeze, and then shake the can and it pops right out every time. No utensils needed. Also, I don’t know if you know, but our taste buds change in air travel, which is why they put a ton of sodium and sugars in the foods they serve in flight. That being said, there’s something about tomato juice (I can’t recall off hand) that even people who don’t normally like to drink it will enjoy. I wonder how a dish with SPAM and tomato sauce with macaroni pasta or something might fare. Will be trying this out in April! Aloha! Hope you enjoy many more trips with your father!

Go for it! It will be the best meal you ever have on a plane!😋

Loved the video. Just found your channel and love all your tips and tricks. To get the spam out, you just need to break the seal. I usually squeeze the shorter sides of the rectangle towards each other. You’ll see the longer sides kinda pop out. Then just invert and shake it out.

Thank you so much for the feedback, and also for the hack on getting the spam out of the can🙏😊❤️

Sounds like a perfect trip 😂 I always take one of my daughters at a time somewhere around the world to have special times alone. I’m so glad for those trips no matter what issues may arise.

That was my first time trying spam as well! I have to say when I first tasted it out of the can I wasn’t sure, but once I cooked, it was really good! But I’m really glad I used it now because anything else I would’ve put in there would’ve been horrible! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

Your bento box meal looked delicious! Sorry you had so many problems! Crazy! We’ve had musubi a couple times and have made it a couple times over the last ten years. We’ll go through phases of trying different cuisines and Asian foods are a favorite (my husband is half Korean). We’re going to Hawaii this summer and can’t wait to try musubi there since apparently it’s sold everywhere!

I think musubi is wonderful and a great snack to be able to bring on a plane because you don’t need to have a hot or cold! I hope you have some great musubi in Hawaii😋😊

New to your channel. You are wonderful!

LOVED LOVED LOVED this video. Please do more Bento/ Asian meal prep videos. I also loved your other travel snacks one. Eunice, are you familiar with Xplorer Steve DIY’s channel? I thought of him as soon as you said “this is for mom.” Steve has a van but also likes to do urban overlanding in his 4-Runner so you’d enjoy seeing his build as well. Not sure if I’m allowed to post links, but the video I want you to see was posted 2 years ago and was a camping trip/homage to his Korean father. The title is: Mountain Solo Camp. Korean BBQ, MukBang and sake toast. Mini SUV camper. I think you will like it.

Thank you! Unfortunately, this trip was not a pleasure trip but for my dad and I to attend his sister / my aunt’s funeral. We made it to the funeral, but lost a whole day of spending time with the family.. but we did make some great memories of a father daughter trip!

Make a little hole in the bottom of the span container so it will break the vacuum. If you don't have anything to make a hole, place a knife between the spam and the container to let air go to the bottom while your trying to pour it out.

In Denmark it is called a Tycho Brahe Day (Tue-ka Braah) a Danish astronomer. Sweden tries to claim him since the island is the straight and was won in a battle that Skåne became Sweden. He fell out of favor with royalty, the danish king, German Dutch it’s, etc. Gave the notes he worked on for elliptical orbits to Kepler who got published and now is cited for how elliptical geometry works. He had a pet moose that died when it fell down the stairs, apparently drunk since he would let it drink beer. Do you know why they drank so much beer in the old days? Because the water could not be trusted. He lost part of his nose in a dual and had a prosthetic made of silver. He later died of silver poisoning, because the silver he digested pretty much daily. It pretty much having a lot of bad luck on any given day. I thought of buying those bento boxes on amazon. Basically I look at weight, are they lighter than plastic? Oh and if you ever make it to a Native American pow wow, bring a can of spam and toss it in the blanket the royalty will go around with for donations for drummers, elders, etc. They’ll announce what the blanket is for. The spam is a running joke for the MC’s who love to eat spam. Natives have been loving fried spam for ages.

Sometimes it is just best to go with the flow (that is my philosophy of life!). Your bento boxes were beautiful and perfect! I do not eat any animals but I can see myself creating some yummy things with veggies (for a bento box). I live on the West side of Los Angeles and I have a Japanese store called Marukai. I go there often because I love their products. Thank you Eunice so much for this video!
