Amazing :) . The sausage was quite easy to find ay least for me.. I had to take care of something in Chicago, and before I left, I went on the internet, and found a place that was on the way.. The sausage was delicious. This also was quite an wast recipe to make, as we had it for dinner. Loved the flavors. I would watch the cooking time, mine was done about 15 minutes earlier, though I did have the oven preheating for a while. Tagged and made for PRMR.

I will now be interacting on recipezazz where there are cooking games and forums and where eventually I will be posting my recipes.?</p>
