Friday Night Bummer

I feel like one of those housewives in the frilly aprons who would moan that the roast had dried out because hubby was late from work, because that's what happened to me last night. It wasn't a roast, it was fresh sausage with carmelized onions and pierogies, but it was a whole lot better when I ate it at 8 than when Todd ate it at 9. At least I didn't wait for him, because I ended up burning the bottom of the pan the sausage and onions were in, which didn't actually burn the food but gave it a burned taste.

I'll have to try this recipe again for him, though, because it really was good. I cut the sausage (fresh kielbasa -- is that an oxymoron?) in 3-inch lengths, then browned it in a deep skillet. Threw in a small sliced onion and browned that, then added some water and braised the whole thing for an hour. Then I added 3 frozen pierogies to the skillet and put the lid back on. Eight minutes later they were done, and I ate them topped with onion. When I cut the sausage in half, though, it was still pink, so I left that in to cook longer (I actually think, now, that something in the sausage made it stay pink and that it was cooked through). Would've been good all together, I think.
