One Postcard from Sweden Today


Here is the postcard I received from Sweden today. Makes me wonder what noise a Moose makes? Moo like a cow? I really don't know. Guess I'll be looking it up on wikipedia after I post this.

They don't sound like cows. If you want to take a listen go to http://www.gomoose.com/moosefacts.php

One postcard from Houston, TX today


Here's one from Texas.

My parents lived in Houston for a little while. We had Christmas there that year. It was different to be in a place where it was 80 degrees in December. I wish that I was there now.

Four Postcards Today





I received four postcards today. Two from the US, one from Canada and one from Finland.

Recipe: Quick Sausage & Potato Dinner

I've been busy with class so I haven't been posting so much.

I made this for dinner a few nights ago. Its pretty easy to make and it got approval of 3 kids under 9 as well as the adults.

Ingredients:

1 lb link Italian sausage ( I used Sweet)
1 lb potatoes, (small cut in half)
2 green peppers, cut into thin strips
2 small onions, cut in thin wedges
1 can fire roasted tomatoes, w/ garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 TBSP olive oil

Preheat oven to 450

Cut sausages in thirds. Cut potatoes in half I used small white potatoes. Cut up green peppers into thin strips and cut onion into thin wedges.

On a jelly roll pan place first five ingredients. sprinkle with salt, pepper and olive oil and then toss ingredients together with your hands until evenly coated. Put in oven for 30 minutes. You'll need to toss the ingredients once while cooking. Cook until potatoes are fork tender and sausage is a light brown.


Notes: I added the tomato from a recipe I found for this. So you could omit it if its not your thing.

Why did the Armadillo Cross the Road?



I got two postcards today. One from the US and one from the Netherlands. I think the one from Dallas is a joke waiting to happen. Why did the Armadillo cross the road?
