CarmEmily » sausages http://carmemily.com Carmen and Emily have been friends for a really long time, but they rarely get to see each other because they live so far apart. This causes them great sadness and so they have started this blog - which is somewhat odd because they are both quiet, introverted weirdos. They have decided to invite the world into their friendship and you are welcome to participate in this experience with them. (However, to shield themselves from this potentially uncomfortable exposure, they will continue to refer to themselves, and their blog, in the third person.)

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!
