Yesterday Ellie was baptized. She turned eight on January 27, 2020, and she made the decision to be baptized. I want to tell you a little bit about Ellie. I have never met a child that is quite like Ellie. She is full of life and fire and joy and light. She knows no fear and is infectious in her passion for life and for goodness and for FUN!!! Above all things, she seeks the joy and fun in life. She is also wickedly clever and funny, she’s a delight to be around and makes everyone feel so good. Because she is happy, she wants everyone else to be happy. I first met sweet Elizabeth in 2018, and on the day I met her she was not feeling well. We decided that a movie would be a fun thing for a sick little girl, so I brought one of my favorites to share with her - The Neverending Story. When I got to the house, I picked her right up. It had been a very long time since I was able to pick up a girl, and she snuggled right into my arms. Her poor sick body was warm, but I was more impressed ...

So, I got the sausages. At $0.50 a can, I felt that there would be little buyer's remorse, even if they were terrible. Acting on a tip from the good old internet, I decided to pan fry them a little. I'd only ever eaten them straight from the can - which is apparently a perfectly acceptable, and in some folk's opinion, preferable, way to eat the little guys. So I was interested to see if they'd be any better than I remembered.
Nope.
It was like eating meat-flavored tofu. I don't mind tofu, and I don't mind meat. But the things should NOT be combined for any reason.
I want it clear for the record that I am a hot dog fan. The best hot dog I've ever had was in Chicago outside the Field Museum, just north of Soldier Field (pre-renovation). In fact, it was under construction when I was there... But I digress. Being a hot dog liker, I would say that these sausages were like a very cheap hot dog. They may be suitable in something that has more texture/flavor, but on the whole I'd say that the vienna sausages are a pass...
Until next time... ;-)
And I'm with you on the flavor and texture of Vienna sausages....not my favorite by any means as an adult, but I do remember liking them as a child. They are a favorite of one of my 2 year old granddaughters, so they are a stable in my pantry....at least until she out grows them.
Yeah, I think I'll stick with a steak. Or a taco. Or Freebirds... mmmmmmm... Freebirds...
