Meat. Sure, it tastes good but it's also damn similar to the stuff that makes us able to be-bop around every day, the muscles that comprise our own bodies. This is what I ended up buying a few days ago when I went shopping for those meats on sale at Food Lion. The only round eye roast there was a bitty little thing. Just over 2 pounds. I bought it anyway but I had been hoping for something bigger. Along with the bitty roast I bought some chicken breast filets and a package of sweet Italian sausage. As you can see below, I chopped up the roast into small "steaks" for later cooking. I wrapped everything in plastic wrap to hold in moisture and then aluminum foil and labeled them with size, cut, and date. Have you ever noticed how much sausage looks like penises ( peni? )? It makes taking the skin off a little disconcerting. These are the cuts I derived from the eye of round roast. They're very pretty! Here's a little detail artfully arranged. It's fun playing wit...

One of my favorite meats is sweet Italian sausage. I love it on pizza, on a bun, or like below, as the base for a pasta sauce. In this case I used a little butter to saute the sausage and once there was a little color on them I added half an onion and half a Bell pepper. Once the onions were translucent I added the jar of tomato sauce you can see in the upper right. Sure, it's not as good as real home-made sauce but I'm lazy and it's good enough for me. I only add a little spice to the sauce after that since the sausage adds a little zest already. Just some paprika and thyme. I'm looking forward to some kayaking over the next few days but it'll be wet since there's a lot of rain forecast. Nothing like cold rain to make sure you paddle fast--just to keep warm!
