I'm Anti-Depressed!

In the spirit of Sis' post below, last night for dinner I decided to make a "fattie" to en-cheer my beloved family

A "fattie," Dear Friends, is a 1lb log of breakfast sausage that is smoked at 250º or so until its internal temperature reaches about 170º

I made a basic fattie: just took the sausage and coated it with my favorite BBQ dry rub.

The more advanced students of Fattieology roll the sausage out and put cheese, onions, peppers, etc, inside and roll that bad boy back up and carefully seal the seams to keep all that tasty goodness inside before bbqing it.

Dang-nabbit it was tasty.

and salty.

Major Dad, shouldn't that be, "Have another Lipitor and double up on the drinks."?

Where I come from, a "fattie" is something one might smoke a different way....

The thermometer cord looks like a fuse. For a moment I was afraid that some health-food terrorist had rigged your dinner.

Julie-Oh good, I wasn't the only one thinking that before the picture loaded. I'll bet if you say "make a fattie" to anyone I went to high school with they won't be thinking grilled sausage.
