Bud is a good man, but I can’t live with him when he’s hungry. I have no doubt he’d lay down his life from me, but I do believe he’d rather I ran around with another man than cook around on him. Anyway, I digress. At five p.m. Today, it occurred to me I’d never made it to the grocery store today. I had an egg plant, half a pound of ground sausage, 1/2 cup leftover brown gravy, and half a cup of frozen seasoned bread crumbs. I sautéed half a diced onion and some fresh garlic and the sausage. To the mix I added chopped eggplant, while cooking the shelled out eggplant in the microwave for two minutes. I seasoned the mix with salt, pepper, parsley, Tony Zacharie’s Cajun Seasoning, sprinkled with Feta cheese and baked at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. It was excellent served with home canned green beans. I am still married.
I love it when something that’s less of a plan, more of a reaction, comes together. Bud is a lucky man.

Panic helps. Also, I have a pantry full of home canned food and an herb garden. My strawberry bed is just outside the back door.

Woke up at four. Never can tell when I’ll sleep. Have a story I’m burning to write. Second in Five Photos, Five Stories. Been on my mind all night. Also working hard to get Mother’s memoir ready to publish. Expect to give away first chapter when my store on Nutsrok.com opens in a day or so.

I envy people who can throw a meal together like that! I have to have the recipe in front of me with all the ingredients lined up in a row and sometimes that is not enough! ~Elle

I see no reason why that wouldn’t be tasty! It’s not much for looks, but I’m not a food snob. 😀
