CarmEmily » sausages http://carmemily.com Carmen and Emily started this blog to commemorate their long standing friendship. In February 2010 Emily joined the Navy and hasn't had reliable internet since. While Carmen wistfully awaits contact she has decided to only post pictures of the sky until Emily's return.

I cannot come up with any combination of ingredients that would justify that sad little comma.

P.S. I typically do not like apple sausages (something about combining organ meats and fruit…ick) but I had to buy it for the blog…and I didn’t think they would appreciate if I removed the cardboard label and put it back on the shelf.

P.P.S. Yes, I am grocery shopping for the blog.

Damn.  A bit disappointing.  I really can’t be too upset though.  I live in such a great place that even if my ride home gets a flat I can hop on a train that will get me home in 10 minutes and a nice boyfriend to pick me up at the train station. C’est la vie.  And then I saw this!

So then, obviously, it was time for a lovely cocktail…

I chose "The Boulevardier". It was invented in 1927.

Max made a really good dinner of sausages, turnips and carrots.  And now I’ve decided that this has been the best day ever.  Wish you were here!
