i heart oyama sausages

because our household is currently limping along on 1 income, we decided to go on an 'osterity program.'

apparently, this was a favourite phrase of rob's mom during rob's formative years.

anywho, our osterity program involves not eating out unless we have something really special to celebrate (see: birthdays, flag day, and the unlikely event of our documentary being accepted into a film festival).

unfortunately, i'm picky about where i buy my food and tend to prefer:
1) organic food
2) gourmet food

yup, the 2 most expensive grocery types you can buy but i still figure i'm saving money.

this past saturday, i decided we needed more sausages. and the only place i buy my sausages are oyama sausages on granville island.

i like to have frozen sausages at the ready for quick and easy dinners like:
- pasta with sausage, onion, tomatoes, and other available vegetables
- sausage with rice, kale and onions

both recipes from from Peasant's Alphabet by James Barber

oyama makes their own sausages. they make the usual types and some crazy delicious ones. on saturday, i picked up:
- butter chicken
- japanese chicken
- lemon grass chicken
- maple syrup pork




i cooked up the maple syrup ones the next day (sunday) and rob declared that they were the best breakfast sausages he's ever tasted. he said this twice to me.

i think these sausages are worth paying about $2.25 each for them.
