Some Fiction Podcasts I Have Listened To And Enjoyed:

Yeah sure, there's eldritch horrors, and bodies being twisted into fresh meat monsters in the blink of an eye, and human sacrifices being completely normalized in this society, but THE WORST thing I've yet expierienced in this podcast is the fucking rambling whispering.

Thinking about skipping this episode entirely and just reading the transcript instead, I think I'm gonna rip off my ears any second now.

What if Jon found out about Georgie and Melanie a really horrible way?

Radishes are overachievers

“Here is an essential principal of education: to teach details is to bring confusion; to establish the relationship between things is to bring knowledge.”

— Maria Montessori, from From Childhood to Adolescence

The English language deserves more terms on endearment that are used casually. I only ever hear them for relationships or in sarcasm and that is a real shame.

Sausage, Peppers & Onions

Sausage, peppers and onions. It’s genius. Those Italians were really onto something with this. It reminds me of every holiday at my mom and dad’s…it’s pretty much a staple. I added mushrooms because they sop up lots of sauce and flavor…and mushrooms just make everything much better.

Paleolicious Ingredients:

1 lb sweet Italian pork sausage (or whatever you prefer)

2 red peppers, sliced

2 yellow peppers, sliced

2 onions, sliced

4 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 (10oz) container of baby bella mushrooms, sliced

1 (15oz) can diced tomatoes

½ c chicken broth

¼ c extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp dried basil

½ red pepper flakes (optional)

——————————————————————-

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until brown on both sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan. 

Add the onions, peppers, mushrooms, salt and pepper to the oil and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. While the veggies are sautéing, slice the sausage into 1 inch cubes and set aside. Add the garlic and basil and cook another 5 minutes.

Next, stir in the tomato paste. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth and red pepper flakes and let simmer. Stir in the cubed sausages and let sit on low-medium heat for about 30 minutes, until the sauce reduces and thickens a bit.

*My sausages weren’t cooked all the way through, so I did cook them a little more in a separate pan for a couple extra minutes before adding them to the mix*

If you’re not paleo, these would make a scrumptious sandwich on an Italian roll. But since we are paleo, we won’t do that…we will enjoy it straight from a bowl. And if we really want to act like cavemen (and cave-ladies) just use your hands. I’m kidding…please don’t do that.
