Just a Little Off the Top
Aug. 19th, 2023 11:34 pmK had pointed out something that I already knew -- the yew hedge in front of the house was desperately overgrown, to the point where it was becoming difficult to see when her ride to school arrived in the morning. This was because I completely missed trimming it last year and earlier this year.
The weather cooled off enough today for it to become a good idea to do something about it and the hedge has now been cut back drastically and the trimmed branches piled into cans for yard waste collection by K, who insists that she did *not* ask me to trim the hedge and was, therefore, not responsible for the results.
Gretchen wanted a light dinner tonight, so I ran over to Mariano's late in the afternoon to pick up additional materials, which mostly consisted of four ears of sweet corn and a small sweet onion. It turned out no one else wanted sweet corn tonight, so we've saved that for tomorrow. In the meantime, I had two Polish sausages remaining in my stash, so I sliced up the onion and threw it into a pan. I went to the refrigerator and discovered that we still had a small container of the garlic butter that had been mixed up for a dinner eight months ago, but which had not been completely consumed. The two tablespoons or so of garlic butter went into the bottom of the pan with the onion, which was then sauteed until nicely done. The Polish sausages were lightly scored on each side and tossed into the pan with the onion and butter to brown. The onions were then transferred into buns, the sausages placed on top, a bit of mustard and ketchup were added, and I had an absolutely lovely dinner.
I have got to try this again.
When I am less full than I am now. :)
