Indian Veggie Burgers and Turkey Sausage Kale Sweet Potato Soup

When I went to Publix, I did as I always do. I checked out the sale racks and sale freezer space. Only one thing caught my eye.

Tandoor Chef (brand)
Authentic Indian Cuisine
4 Vegetable Masala Burgers.

One word--SPICYHOT

Ingredients:
potatoes, canola oil, carrots, green beans, bread crumbs, Bell peppers, corn, salt. green peppers, spices, turmeric, mustard seeds. I might try to replicate this one day, minus the heat.

This was pretty good except for the extreme heat. The texture was like the 'burger' had a hashbrown base for everything else.

Four veggie burgers were $1.25, not a bad price.

I tried a new soup--Turkey sausage kale sweet potato soup. It was not bad, but I would use pork sausage since it is what I have. It had Great Northern Beans in it, too, just a few.

The guy was coming to mow at 8 am, so I got up at 7:30 and got dressed. He showed up at 9:45. He did a good job and charged me the $23 I had on me even though I was going to bank to get money. He is a nice guy overall and did a great job. I will have him back since he can walk here and this will not be a problem for him.

When I went to the doctor on Thursday, I complained of nausea. it still is with me and I have to fight to keep from throwing up. I called at 12:30 today, Friday, and asked for Zofran. I sat at WM from 1:35 until almost 4 pm. He sent the message that I should go to the urologist if the medicine for uti made me throw up. I could scream since nausea was my chief complaint along with chills, pain, and malaise.

A trip to the PO and standing in sun to pump gas almost finished me off. I may nap this evening.

I called. Okay, tomorrow I can get med. whew.

I will not be planting anything today. I am dizzy, limp and it is 92 F. My planting will done in full sun with a rock wall nearby that has been heated for a good five hours. No thank you.

Do you like Indian food with masala seasoning? Has anyone ever had Turkey sausage kale sweet potato soup? Have you been out in a hot yard or garden today?

I am pretty sure I would love the veggie burgers since I do like to eat hot stuff!
Yes everything outside is hot today. I am going swimming in a little while.

The Cast

Fancy is my favorite hen. She is one of the three youngest hens I adopted. Because she is so gentle and friendly, she may be the one I rescued when she was being pecked to death after she could no longer stand. She got to live in the house in a box. Sometimes, I let her sit in my lap while she was convalescing. Now, she comes to sit in the swing with me, cuddling up to my body like a cat or dog. She died in February 2012.

Fancy follows me begging, complaining, needing me to do for her. She talks to me in various voices. She allows me to pick her up and carry her. When she became an adult, her head was a darker red and her body was light brown. Around her neck were tips of black feathers. It appeared she had a necklace of jet around her neck. When I showed this characteristic to a friend, he said, "Oh, you have fancy chickens and plain chickens."

Chessie has a broken toe. I broke it! She had a habit of jumping really high and almost sticking. A raccoon ate her in October 2009.

Thelma is the blonde. She is also the largest hen and the alpha hen. I suspect the gigantic eggs are from her. She often squats and presents herself to me. She is top hen, but I suspect she knows she had better be deferent to top feeder of the flock--me.

Louise is the auburn-feathered hen. She looks like the true Rhode Island Reds in pictures. She is almost as large as Thelma. Some days I suspect she is trying to be top chicken. When I got Pepper, I found out Louise is the Alpha hen.

Pepper came here from the same home as the first four. We were discussing putting red pepper on their food, wondering if it really would increase egg production. Pepper is the only name we agreed on. She is terrorized each day by Louise. Even after the worst was over, she was and is still filled with terror and very wary.

Linda is owned by four hens. They allow her to fetch for them. She loves them dearly, so she allows them to boss her around. Linda comes out in the rain to perform chores for them and make sure they have food and water. She begs scraps from all sorts of places to make sure they have fresh fruits and vegetables.

Parsimony is not a vegetable

Parsimony is extreme care in spending money. Stick around and learn about my random thoughts on accomplishing goals economically--dumpster diving aka safari, gleaning, do-it-yourself, sewing tips, recipes, and whatever is happening in my life.

Okay so maybe "parsimony" is not your thing. How about thrift, frugality or just plain saving money? I try not to go the tightwad route as that seems to imply others will suffer from my habits.

Some of my not-spending habits have very much been a part of my lifelong habits. Other habits are newly acquired and are an extension of my lifelong not-spending habits.

I am very imaginative when it comes to substituting or making instead of buying. I will tell you about making a heater for the chickens' water. Not one dime was spent since I had everything I needed right in my basement.

Practicality must rear its head alongside parsimony. For example, I will use the dryer in bad weather or because of allergies in the spring. But, I will not wash clothes in a tub as long as I have a washing machine or can find one.

You may hear more about my four Rhode Island Red hens than you care to hear. They lay delicious brown eggs.
