Salad with Sausages & Peppers

One of our long-time favorite summer meals is simply grilled sausages with grilled peppers, onions and potatoes.

It’s one of those meals that requires no thought, minimum effort and can be handled easily sitting in a lawn chair somewhere near the barbecue – preferably sipping a chilled summer wine.

But when there is lettuce in the garden we eat salads.

Our reliable Romaine is still good, despite the high temps… Although I think this may be the last week.

I’ve given directions at each step for cooking outside on the barbecue grill or in the kitchen.
White wine vinegar, cider vinegar, or white Balsamic can be substituted for the lemon vinegar

That’s all for this day. We had a storm last night and lost power. We just got it back.

There’s an app (of course) where we can see the ‘estimated restore time’. It’s so much better than having to call, go through the phone tree, and listen to a recording.

Anyway, power went off at 8 pm. Estimated restore time was 11 pm.

Nothing happened.

I’m assuming they needed parts and more info.

In the morning when I checked it said 12 pm.

Time to get the generator running and plug in the fridge and freezer…. maybe the coffee maker.

An hour later it was changed to 4 pm.

We went for a bike ride.

So – 20 hours without power or internet.

We survived.
