Linguica is a Portuguese sausage. It's spicy but too spicy. We fry them up and put them on a roll with mustard and the works if you like.

It is good on pizza and I hope that Colossus likes it.

I've had some chicken breasts in the slow cooker all day. I just threw in some tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with chilies, garlic and green onion. It smells good and tastes yummy. I'm also making some rice and broccoli.

We were supposed to have tilapia, but since it was cooler weather, I popped more pasties in the oven. :-) (Gotta' buy a lot more than a dozen the next time the cheerleader sell them - they are way too good and SOOO easy!)

QUESTION - where do you find specialty sausages like the Linquica or even andouille? The Meijer store I shop at doesn't have anything more exotic than polish kielbasa. :-(

I don't know, Teach - surely you must have a European deli somewhere you could check? I'm really not sure.

Tonight I'm making lamb shoulder chops with roasted baby potatoes and cucumber salad. Perfect for this summer weather we're enjoying. Though... I might skip the kitchen tonight and head to Deb's place. Sounds delish.

Does anyone have a good rice and beans recipe? The kind you get in Central America / Caribbean?

The rice and beans I have eaten in Central America were easy to make. Plain beans. Plain rice. sprinkle on sea salt before eating.

Teach, I live in the San Francisco bay area and we can get just about anything in our grocery stores. I know my brother in Wisconsin can't find linguica and my mom ships some to him.

***sigh*** Just like "fresh" seafood is an oxymoron around here (unless it's something like lake trout or the various versions of salmon). I'm going to call a couple of meat markets that are within an hour of here and see if they have options.

I have cubed lamb in the freezer that I had been planning to make gyros with last week while it was a beautiful 30 degrees. Today it's cooler and overcast so I think I'll make a lamb stew instead. Flaky rolls and a glass (bottle?) of red.

Homemade pizza and homemade strawberry pie for us tonight - thanks to a wonderful DH who cooked while I was out getting groceries.

Fried bologna sandwiches and watermelon. We worked out in the yard today so I didn't feel like cooking.

If you want an easy crust - try this one (my Grandma's shortbread crust)

In a pie plate mix:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup canola oil
2 Tb sugar
2 TB milk
1/4 tsp. salt

Mix until moist, then pat up sides of pan. If pie needs to be baked, just brush egg white on crust and fill. If pie is not baked, brush egg white on, poke holes in crust (or put one of those pie weights in it to prevent shrinking) and bake 8-10 minutes at 425 or until golden brown.

This is The BEST Pie Crust!

I was home alone so I just made a beef pot pie that we had in the freezer. I should have went with Babyruth's idea.
