and now. we talk about sausages.
on saturday night, when we were at jenn & mike's, mike grilled up these AMAZING "chinese" sausages. they were bright red, and so delicious. i cannot even describe in words how good these sausages were. they were heaven in pork form. mmmmm.......
so, today on my lunch break i went food shopping and spotted the chinese sausages next to the italian sausages and i quickly grabbed them and on a whim i turned the package around to look at the nutritional information (something i hardly ever do)
um, yeah. 550 calories a serving
and a serving is HALF A SAUSAGE.
and i don't even really care about counting calories all that much (i hate math). but 1100 calories a sausage is a bit much, even for me. i mean that is the caloric equivalent of THREE lean cuisine meals! and it's not even a meal in and of itself. it's 3 inches of sausage!

i should never have read the back of the package, because now that i know what i know, i cannot eat one without feeling like this dude afterwards
it's too bad, really.
(you may now commence 3-inch sausage jokes..)
