It Came From Christmas

My wife bought a bunch of that snacky, "gifty" stuff you generally buy in the baskets and tins; cheese, cracker spreads, that sort of thing, but this stuff was just individually priced, and loose in a bin; from broken cases and such, I'd assume. She'd intended to assemble all this into baskets of her own making and design, which she does very well.

One thing she bought was a goodly-sized Hillshire Farms "Summer Sausage", hence the title; well, I managed to finagle this rare delicacy, and have been piecing on it for the last couple days. It consists mainly of fat and salt.

In fact, I'd say it's 55% grease, 40% salt, maybe 3% seasonings and spices, and perhaps 2% vaguely beef-related meat......stuff. Or something.

And that's why it's awesome.

being one of the people on one of those "doctor diets" (cholesterol), where "if it tastes good, you cant eat it", I agree!

Yep; I feel ya, Doc. I'm on something of a diet myself; the doctor didn't put me insulin, after all, but he did insist that I watch what I eat, and exercise more.

So, as I sit here on my sedentary butt, typing, enjoying coffee and a couple chocolate chip cookies, I salute you for your discipline. 

The "Summer Sausage" reminds me of "Krustyburger! The official meat-flavored sandwich of the 1994 Olympics!"

Dont salute too much - I cheat too, and if I had a summer sausage, I would be cheating now!
