Sausage, it's not just for breakfast anymore

I think this package says it all. I picked up a pound of maple sausage, the delectable links that my family has always called "breakfast sausage" without allowing a title to limit our consumption. No, we eat it from dawn 'til dusk, despite its moniker.

Evidently, Fred Meyer (our local grocery and part of the Kroger gi-nomerate) is worried that the name "breakfast sausage" will limit more conservative families to (horrors!) eat it only during breakfast. They've changed the label so it reads, "maple flavored sausage" and "delicious anytime!"

Thank you, Fred Meyer, for freeing us -- and our sausages -- from the shackles of breakfast.

We've eaten breakfast for lunch and dinner since... well, I can't remember when we didn't. It is quick, yummy and simple.

Well, I'm about as conservative as they come and I enjoy a nice plate of scrambled eggs and bacon for dinner now and again. I'll eat waffles whenever they're made. Maple anything goes right in the garbage though. I can't stand fake maple flavour. Not too keep on real maple either, come to think of it.

KEEN, not keep. Dangit. I really need to proofread. Wish y'all had an edit option.
