Gentlemen,

I'd got eerily quiet in here lately. Is anyone still around? 

Thanks!
Robin

I went by a store I know in Lafayette that has always had shaving goods. To my surprise I find they now carry ToBS creams. About an hours drive from me. (Depending on traffic)

   

I ran across this in a store in Lafayette the other day.  I like it. I don't think it's as good as Whiskey Woods, but still very nice.

   

Williams Wednesday with a signature shave!

So,after a hiatus,I figured I'd make a comeback. 
Shaved off the beard-that was MUCH to grey and got a fresh high and tight. 
The beard is gone,and the razors are back!

Let's play a game-name this Schick razor...

For decades I would brown my meatballs and sausages in a pan. Then I got lazy and baked the meatballs. The result was a drier meatball than I wanted. The sausages I continued to brown in the pan. 

Then I remembered what I had seen on Italian TV cooking shows where meatballs were put into sauce, no browning, and simmered to cook them. So I tried it. Now I won't do them any other way. Wddayaknow! The Italians know how to cook meatballs! Whoda thunk it, right?

So this week we bought a package of hot Italian sausage and I figured if it worked for meatballs why not sausage too? I will never brown them in a pan again. They came out juicy and very tender. That's the best I can describe the results for both the meatballs and sausage.

To accompany the sausages I made a variation of Pepperonata. 2 Green and 2 red peppers cut into strips and 2 onions also sliced into strips. Into a pan with EVOO and salt, and saute (can one saute w/o butter?) to soften the veggies but I left them with a bit of texture. Right before they got done I added some gran garlic. Done. Actual Pepperonata also contains basil and oregano and uses fresh garlic add with the veggies. It can be cooked down to a sauce if desired.

If I wasn't in ketosis I would have had a sausage on Italian bread smothered with the Pepperonata. Being in keto, no bread.
