Too many leftovers...
Jan. 9th, 2009 07:55 am... so I'm forced to have smoked salmon, cream cheese, and onion (with a couple mini heirloom tomatoes from Trader Joe's on the side) on a bagel for breakfast.
And damn it all, I've got to start using up my pork roll[1] more quickly. How will I ever survive?
[1] Pork roll is a sausage (in the same sense that bologna is a sausage, and they're similar in texture, though *not* flavor) that I've only ever found in Philadelphia, though I'm sure it's traveled to other nearby regions, but it never made it as far as, e.g., Columbus OH. Alas, it doesn't keep well, so I have to use up the massive amounts I bought in Philly before the end of this month. It just so happens to be my favorite breakfast meat[2]
[2] Yes, I eat scrapple too. I *did* grow up in Philadelphia, after all. But I suspect that scrapple's what we tell the outsiders about, so they don't come in and buy up all our pork roll.
