Foodie alert

I have a recommendation for all those out there who love sausages, but not the fat and suspect byproducts they might contain.

Al Fresco brand chicken sausages come in 14 different gourmet flavors, including Roasted Pepper & Asiago, Spinach & Feta, Jalapeno, Sundried Tomato, and Sweet Apple. There are several different styles, too. Fully cooked links, links ready for grilling, breakfast-style links, and something I haven't tried yet but think sounds intriguing: Bistro Bites Buffalo Style cocktail franks.

All of the products have 70% less fat than pork sausage and are free of nitrites, nitrates, preservatives and artificial ingredients. We've sliced them up with pasta. We've put them in quiche. Tonight, I had a link with fresh tomato slices and 7 grain bread. My fellow weight watchers should rejoice in the fact that 1 Spinach & Feta sausage, I learned tonight, is a mere 3 points.

Check out the web site for more info, a complete listing of available flavors and styles, recipes, and a way to search for where you can find these in your area.

Sounds wonderful! I'll try looking tomorrow for a store in the vicinity that has them. Would be nice if our "extra super-duper" new Dillon's Marketplace in Derby carries them.
Thanks for sending the meatloaf recipe.

Yummy yummy. I'll be checking to see if we have them in the Fort! I'm baking pain au chocolat with puff pastry right now and thinking that puff pastry wrapped around these sausages would make some yummy pigs in a blanket.

Ho, Ho, Ho, How Many Times Can I Use "I'm too busy" as an Excuse?

I haven't had time to write. Work, swim meet volunteering, holiday decorating and shopping. But truthfully, I've not been in much of a mood to write anything anyway. Last night we put up the tree and Santa chachkies, and I drank my first egg nog of the season, so perhaps I'll be in a cheerier mood. Also, I have spent some time writing the annual Schoon holiday newsletter. If you happen to get a copy, treat it like a drinking game. Every time I make you roll your eyes, take a drink. Nog, wassail, Everclear. Whatever gets you through. One sure way to assist with merriment motivation is listening to Christmas carols. I'm not going to get into a debate over what truly constitutes a carol. You can "Jesus is the reason for the season" yourself until you turn blue; I generally lean toward the secular end of the holiday tune spectrum. And if you just gasped at my use of holiday instead of Christmas, go suck on a candy cane. It's my blog and my opinions. Deal.

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel
