We originally planned to go out to dinner tonight, but a lovely lazy rain-soaked afternoon dissipated our desires to be out and about. But this put Stacy in a conundrum: What to do for dinner? We just got back from a family vacation (which in and of itself is another grand motivator to eat at home), and we hadn't had a chance to restock the fridge, so a readily-prepareable dinner wasn't immediately obvious. She called me in and we perused our ingredient options - far more condiments than content. We eventually settled on an unorthodox, but decidedly multicultural plan: Italian sausage burritos! We boiled up a frozen package of sausages, sautéd some garlic and lonely red onions, then wrapped them in some old tortillas with a dab or two of sour cream.

I know this wasn't the melding of great culinary traditions. It will never be hailed as an Italio-Mexican version of the Camp David accord. We realize that we won't be publishing the next best-selling cookbook phenom. (
Burritos, Prego!) What it was was a quick and dirty dinner which turned out to be quite tasty. We may actually have to forget to grocery shop again soon.
