nutritious junk

My dad is a simple man, finding a father day
gift that he would like is like finding a needle in a haystack. I’m not sure
what his hobbies are, but I do know he LOVES browsing at Costco. Many people
take pleasure in this, sport (if that what you want to call it) and its fun to
accompany him to see this in action cause, A) my dad is funny when he’s
fascinated, and B) a get a basically free lunch comprised of hundreds of
samples and my dad pays for my groceries when I go with him.  This adventure with him is rare, but I had it
this weekend and picked up these new all natural mild Italian sausages from
Bilinski’s.  These have an impressive
nutritional background. Each link is 90 calories, 2g fat, 2g carbs, and 14 g
protein. In culinary school, we had a few classes dedicated to sausage making. The
sausages were undeniably delicious, but yea, they were made with pork casing
(aka, the intestines of the pork or sheep in some cases).  But these are not made of that, are wheat and
gluten free, and guess what, I can identify EVERYTHING on the ingredient list! This
is SO rare for sausages. And the list is short, mind you.  I got so worked up about the impressive nutritional
stats that I forgot to mention how fantastic it tastes! It honestly tastes like
a slightly spicy, sweet peppery full fat Italian sausage. I recently threw it
on a homemade pizza, in scrambled eggs, even on salads! As for my dad, I decided
on getting him a massage gift certificate, which thankfully he enjoyed very
much, maybe more so than browsing Kirkland
pants and giant sized tubs
