Instead, we're going to take a trip down memory lane every Monday.
Today I have a funny memory that I was thinking about yesterday. It's a story that will never die in my family. It's the story of my father the cheese filled sausages.
My mother is, basically, handicapped. She is allergic to bottom-feeding shellfish (like clams, so why she lives in Rhode Island is beyond me), wheat, and corn. That means she can eat basically...well, nothing. Nothing normal anyways.
Occassionally her work as an author takes her abroad. This was much more common when I was younger (which, if you think about it, is kind of backwards, but whatever). Every time she left for a business trip it meant the boys could eat anything and everything we wanted (something else that is no longer true). We bought it all. Hamburger Helper, pies, junk food, total crap.
One time during one of our "Mom's away so the boys will play", my father stumbled upon cheese-filled sausages. Now, logically, we thought, those should be good. You have sausages at breakfast, and cheese can also be a breakfast food. So, neither my brother or I opposed dad's decision to buy these sausages. Of course, I was like six and Matt is only five years older than me so it's not like he'd have listened anyways.The next morning, dad excitedly cooked our breakfast of cheese-filled sausages. Matt and I sat at the table and waited. We were eager, although we won't admit it if you ask us face-to-face now.
Dad brought over a steaming platter of delicious looking sausages and we all got our first serving. Then we took our first bites.......and lined up at the kitchen sink to spit them out. To this day, the cheese-filled sausages are the most revolting items I have ever placed in my mouth. I promise you, the time I ate wax (another story, not worth telling :-P) was more enjoyable.
But, McDonald's breakfast sandwich never tasted so good as they did that morning.

Cheese filled sausages sound disgusting! Either way they will be pretty full of cholesterol and bad stuff
I guess you are not going to have them for tea tonight!
Have a great day,

Cheese-filled sausage? Ew. And your mom & I are a lot alike. Not only do I have type 1 diabetes, I also have Celiac Disease, which basically means there's nothing I can eat. Chris does most of the cooking, so it was a bitch for him at first. Other than not being able to eat anything fun, I'm pretty healthy. I'm not sure where I found your blog (maybe Best Gay Blogs), but here I am.
LOL...I have to really be in the mood to eat any type of sausage with any type of filling, but I think I would have been BARFING in the sink with you guys...Chess filled snags...Ewwwe!
I like a plump, large sausage as much as the next guy, but think I'll pass on the cheese filled variety.
OMG! All I can say is EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWw! and YUCK! It sounds terrible even before I try them. Spit it out before it goes into my mouth!!! Blththtpthth[pth. pthtooey. All gone now. Sigh.
