reindeer dry sausage sandwich




There isn’t enough good that can be said about the sausage sandwich. I won’t even try to say anything more. But …

People eat reindeer. And they make sausages out of reindeer. It seems kind of sad. It is sad. like eating bunnies is sad. Because of Rudolph, and just, you know, bunnies.

But I googled ’sausage sandwich’ this afternoon, just, I don’t know, because I google things when I’m hungry or thinking about them, and I found something I really liked, which is where I got the picture:
Sandwiches: Reindeer dry sausage sandwich

It’s from the, [hic] blog, or journal, I guess, of a self-professed ‘foodie’ in Oslo, Norway. It’s called Oslo Foodie.

Wow.

Lots. Of. Yum.

I’m going to subscribe to the feed of it. Because right now, I’m just glancing over some of the highlights which are floating in the window behind this one I’m typing in, and I see things like “Pan fried salmon fillet with sour cream sauce and cucumber salad” or “Leek, goat’s cheese and bacon quiche.” And I love to cook and I LOVE to find new things to cook, and to kind of build upon the really fantastic cooking I do that is very very much due to the really really fantastic cookbooks and shows of Jamie Oliver who I simply can’t thank enough. And/or blame for being called, more than once, a ‘foodie’ by members of my family. Grrr.

Recipe: [sort of] Jamie’s sausage sandwich: Grill up a bunch of your favorite breakfast sausages, like maple-flavor ones, until they are nice and blackened and sticky. Meanwhile, grill both sides of a big fat hoagie or french roll with butter also. Butterfly the sausages. Smear the roll with HP or A1 steak sauce. Melt some great grated cheddar over the butterflied sausage under the broiler. And then smash it all on the sandwich and SMASH the roll on top. Really, the smashing is key.

Ever Edgy Maggie G

MSN - News - Maggie Gyllenhaal Hacks Politics (heh. I rewrote the headline.)

I’ve always liked those Gyllenhaal kids. Well not always. But ever since watching Donnie Darko. And Jena Malone too.

I really think it’s edgy and integritous for a huge movie star like Maggie Gyllenhaal to say something true and carefully worded about a controversial and painful moment in our nation’s history. But actually, I’m not sure I understand what all the fuss is about, judging by what her statement was.

PS: Another thing I can’t quite figure out: how come none of the dozens of news items about this show a decent appealing picture of Miss Maggie G, except for MSN Movies?

PPS: Oddly enough I bungled across the picture I’m using at the exact moment a friend of mine was relating the extreme chopping down of a huge tree in her behind of her home by a neighbor.
