I was hungry when I came home, so I needed something quick. James threw a rib eye steak on the BBQ, I didn't feel like steak, though I ended up getting a nice piece of fat from his rib eye. I hate to see tasty fat go to waste. I had some frozen peas, and a dry Polish sausage, called Krakowska, named after the Cracow region. I really like this sausage, because it's great on sandwiches, but also in slices as a snack, and in baked beans. It also lasts a long time in the fridge, you'll see the salt gather on the casing, eventually the casing will get sticky, but that peels off, and the sausage is still good, though once it dries out too much, it gets hard like jerky, and then I like to use it in stews and the like.
So here is what I did for my quick, but healthy and filling dinner:
Melted some butter in a pan, added chopped garlic, threw in cubed sausage, added frozen peas, some basil and marjoram, s&p, covered and simmered, et voila, tasty meal. I think fresh basil would've made it even better. That squidgy stuff on the bottom is the fat from James' rib eye steak, it was so good, melted in my mouth.
I love these plates, I only have five small ones and one big one left, they are about four decades old, and it's all I have left of them. I remember eating off them when I was a kid.
