Day 165: Grilled Spolumbos Chicken & Apple Sausages and Bean Salad
Again, no idea what’s for dinner at 5:47 PM. Fortunately, last time I was at Spolumbos I picked up a bunch of extra chicken-apple and turkey-cranberry sausages for emergencies such as these. A few frozen-solid sausages thaw fairly quickly in a bowl of warm water and take about 10 minutes on the barbecue. I know these are a little more well-done than they should be – I like them that way, but I skinned them a bit for W.
I had mixed up a batch of bean salad earlier in the week when feeling a little vegetable-depleted. A can of green beans, one of yellow, one of kidney beans, one of chick peas. A chunk of leftover purple onion and red pepper. The dressing: equal parts sugar and vinegar, simmered in a small pot on the stove until the sugar dissolves, and then the same amount of canola oil stirred in along with a squirt of mustard and a shake of celery seed.
This will keep well in the fridge for at least a week.
Oh how my Friday nights have changed over the past few years…
I hear you about the Friday nights. Remember tripping home at 2am in frippy clothes and too high heels and a couple glasses of wine on board?

Love Spolumbo’s sausages! The chicken & apple is a fave w my kids(and me too heh)We also like Missing Link (at CFM) they make a HUGE variety of chicken sausages and also sell them sans casing if you prefer – although their sausages are bigger than Spolumbo’s so I find them best suited to a sausage/pepper/pasta dish or sliced up on side w eggs at breakfast(we’re partial to the maple version).
Hey, thanks for the shout out! We at Missing Link love to see our name bandied about. Glad you like our sausages. We have 50 flavors of hand made chicken sausages and 6 flavors of organic lamb. Hope to see you at the new market!
