Default Feast Or Famine

Yo, Sqwertz... dig in, there's plenty!

Three pounds of Hillshire Farms kielbasa asimmer:

Beans were very bland, needed heavy duty doctoring... added everything
I could think of including more than a cup of water, they were like
cement... even added a heap of Penseys smoked paprika (finally found a
use). Later today I phoned the number on the can (they have no web
site). I spoke to a women who is the daughter of the man who started
the company during the great depression. She explained how back then
poor folks slathered this product on bread to make a sandwich,
sometimes added a slice of raw onion, a slab of bologna if you were
flush, or just a little brown sugar. She said that folks usually open
both ends of teh can and pushed the beans out in a log, then sliced
off slabs as desired. The recipe has never been changed. It really
is a bargain and makes a fairly nutritious meal, albiet BLAH! I'm
being mailed some literature about the company history and a recipe
pamphlet... also instructions for ordering their other products
directly, was informed their canned split pea soup, bean soup, and
saucepan beans (juicier) are not available in retail stores and are
only sold by the case. Was a pretty interesting conversation.

Was thinking (I know, dangerous) that a texas feller with a plethera
of extrys could maybe fix up a heap o' Hillshire kielbasa corn dogs...
just a thought. Would take a special person what could wrap their
lips around that heap o' goodness.

What kind of moron boils 3 lbs of sausage at a time? Cats ain't
gonna eat that crap. Then again, they are YOUR cats, so anything
goes.
