Common Cuisine |

My mommy support group finished up for the school year yesterday. What a fun group that has been to be in! While I love many things about the group, you might guess that my very most favorite part of each session is that it starts out promptly at 9am with a hot buffet breakfast. We all take turns participating in the potluck, but half of the contributions each time are assigned to be Meats. This can include egg and cheese dishes as well, but a large percentage of the meat table each time is devoted to sausage. Yummm!

I believe our location in Texas accounts for the emphasis on this mystery meat. I never thought of Lil’ Smokies and BBQ sauce as a breakfast dish before (to say nothing of the chips and queso), but I sure like it! The best are the link sausage kolaches, in which a fat polish sausage link about 4 inches long is baked inside a pastry. Holy goodness, thank you to Rolf for popularizing this Czech breakfast delicacy in College Station.

There are other things I have really enjoyed about MOPS. See my non-food-related thoughts at my Family Blog.

Yesterday, as we shared an exotic luau themed luncheon, we got all excited to hear about saving money through coupon clipping. My friends and I have decided to try to make it work for us. I’ll blog more about it as we move along!

Meanwhile, see the recipe for our interesting lunch, Hawaiian Haystacks.
