Arizona in this country. South Africa as well, it was where a large
anti-apartheid rally was held years ago (the S. Africa one). A senior mecca
in AZ.

I guess since he never did his own commercials (in my days at
least), and I'm not into country music, I didn't even know he was
a real person. ATR least he makes a decent sausage. He puts Earl
Campbell to shame.

I know I have some JD Sage sausage in the freezer, so If I have
eggs, I'll do some scotch eggs for breakfast tomorrow.

My last batch (November 13th, 2007 - definitely due for more)

Recipe:

Wrap 1/5lb Jimmy Dean Sage Breakfast Sausage evenly around shelled
hard boiled egg. Roll in bread crumbs and shredded Parmesan
cheese, place on rack and bake for 20 minutes at 400F. Serve with
a light cream and pepper gravy.

It is a tasty appetizer or snack, and I've had the recipe for many
years. Sun City is a far western suburb of Phoenix. We lived in
Cleveland when I was given the recipe and I didn't know where Sun
City was either, at that time.

Ginny, I didn't know about the Sun City in South Africa. Thanks for
the info. I'm sure this recipe made it's way from AZ.

I visited my aunt and uncle once in Sun City, AZ.

I remember:

Green pepple'd lawns.

Deep dark tanned, leather skinned old folks driving golf carts in the
streets.

110°F at 9am. I got a sunburn in ten minutes. Ended sun exposure for the
rest of the visit.

On the approach to Sun City we drove by maybe a mile stretch of orange
groves. The scent of the orange blossoms were intoxicating, almost to the
point of nausea.

After decades of crippling arthritis, thanks to the dry air, after only
two weeks my aunt's arthritis dried out completely and she was playing
tennis. The whole family considered it a miracle, as did she, especially!
We were so happy for her!

I might move there one day. :-)

Best,

Andy

I've enjoyed that recipe a couple of times, pavane. Here is one I
borrowed from my mother about a year ago.

Bean & Sausage Cornbread Caserole

1 (1-lb.) package ground pork sausage
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
4 (16-oz.) cans pinto beans, drained (I used 1 lb, dried beans)
1 (14.5-oz.) can diced tomatoes with zesty green chiles, drained
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (8-oz.) package shredded Mexican four-cheese blend
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup self-rising white cornmeal mix

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium
heat, stirring often, 7 minutes or until sausage crumbles and is no
longer pink. Add onion and bell pepper, and sauté 3 minutes or until
vegetables are tender. Drain. Stir in beans, tomatoes, and salt.

2. Pour sausage mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups cheese. Stir together buttermilk and cornmeal
mix, and spoon over cheese; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.

3. Bake at 425° for 25 to 30 minutes or until browned.

Black Bean & Chicken Cornbread Casserole: Substitute 1 lb. skinned and
boned chicken breasts, chopped, for sausage, and 4 (15.5-oz.) cans black
beans, rinsed and drained, for pinto beans. Stir 1/2 cup chopped fresh
cilantro into chicken mixture with beans.

You might enjoy moving away from the snow and ice. It is lovely to look
at, but I can not handle the cold weather.

Wear a hat! 8-)

Becca,

I wouldn't mind leaving the ice and snow behind although it's not year
round. At the same time, I wonder if I could get used to such oppressive
heat there year round.

I DO always wear a hat, some more fashionable than others and long sleeve
shirts and slacks even on the hottest days. My days of sun worship ended
a long time ago!

Best,

Andy

I think I got the recipe when living in Rocky River.

Make that about 15 minutes in an un-preheated oven(*). I don't
have recipes. They're done when they're done.

(*) Preheated ovens are so ungreen and carbon unfriendly.

Small world, Lew. I grew up in Parma. Many years ago my mother
owned a designer clothing shop in Middleburg Hts. I know the area
well.
