Stuffed

[teddy_radiator]

TheHubs™ was craving a full English, so we got all the gubbings for it yesterday, and this morning we made it. We're getting so forgetful; no mushrooms, no tomatoes and no fried bread, but the rest was pretty good.

The only negative was the sausages he chose. They had a good pedigree, Johnsonville's, but we didn't realise until we cut into them that they had this melting white cheese stuff injected in them. I couldn't eat it; it looked likethey were oozing pus.

I passed them on to TheHubs™, who finds little offputting.

Other than that, the bacon was too thin; I mean, people, why bother to sell it so tissue-paper thin it just comes apart the moment you separate it?

In other news, I was saddened to read that Maya Angelou passed today. She was such an inspiration, a Muse and a creative force for good in the world.

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

This is so true!

She was an amazing person -- thanks for sharing the quote.

I would eat your cheese brats! Yum!!! With hot honey mustard and beer...

Why you do this to me? I'm losing weight and you make me want pork! For shame! ;D

The bacon thing: This is the reason I get thick cut bacon anymore. They slice the regular bacon so thinly that it's impossible for me to use. They do it because it saves them money: you get less bacon, but they charge you the same price. It's like tuna. Old recipes call for 6 ounce cans, but the cans they make these days are 5 ounces. But they charge the same price. It gives consumers the illusion that they aren't paying more for something, but they are. I'd rather they keep things the same size and just raise the price.

That's true. I bought some Smithfield's bacon not long ago - it's the good stuff, supposedly. But it was as bad as this stuff - wafer thin and impossible to cook properly.

I have never had a full English breakfast before but it sounds good. I would have eaten our brats for you. I like those kind.
