Ouch

I know I stink at blogging these days. I was telling someone the other day how much easier it was to blog from Uganda because there was always some big, exciting news to share. Here...not so much. Having coffee with someone and teaching English just isn't that blog worthy.
Is this???
While I was in the US, I decided that my life in Seville might be better if I had sausage and maybe a little gravy. My mother's husband, Bobby, went on a search for sausage seasoning. Who knew it would be hard to find? Do people not make their own sausage anymore? Ha. Anyway, he went to a butcher and asked and was able to buy a package that he was told was enough for FIFTY pounds of sausage. That should last me a while, no? So today I finally tried to make it. They sell ground pork here so all I had to do was buy it and mix in the seasoning and voila, right? Except that were no instructions on how much to use if you are not making 50 pounds at once. My thinking was, "If a little is good, a lot must be better." I put in a LOT of seasoning and fried up some yummy sausage. At least I hoped it would be yummy. Turns out I put maybe a zillion times more than I should have cause I tried to eat a piece after I cooked it and DANG, I'm on fire! I pushed through and ate one whole piece, but half-way through piece #2 I realized I might die if I kept going. Okay, so trial and error. I'm off to the store to buy more ground pork to mix in with batch one to see if I can fix trial #1. Wish me luck.
(And THAT is why I don't blog more, friends! Life is just not that exciting right now.)
