LOL!!!! Sheila! Oh my, I hope it was cooked first!!!!! Well, in reading your post, if it was in foil, I guess it was :o) WOW! We are blessed here in PA. Keilbasa is almost a bi-monthly, or at least monthly, food item here!!! Very Polish, very polish. It was at the Polish club, St. Cashmire's, were you ever there Sheila or Karen? Well, I was at a Polka fest there, and that is where I had my first taste of the stuff when I was in my early 20s, and I LOVE it, but it really isn't that good for you, unless you eat it in GREAT moderation. Ours is just waiting to be made into a soup or baked, and eaten. I have to wait a while before making it, because I just made, in the small roasting pan, that recipe of a little bit of water, a head of cabbage cut up, layered with frozen hamburger patties, and Brown n' Serve Sausages, with the Contadina Crushed Tomatoes with Italian Herbs poured over it, and baked at 350 degrees for 2 1/2 hours. That will last me all next week!!! and then some. I'll bet Kielbasa would taste really good in with the cabbage in place of the burgers and sausages. Ooooooo, nasty storm is brewing somewhere!!!! Are you getting it first, Connie? Our power just surged, so I better get off the computer again. Just got on, from this morning! UGH!!!!!!!

Yes, I just wrote this to John & Joyce, but since you said something, I figured I would post it!!! Those were impressive, weren't they!! We have had 3 HOUR sight and sound shows here in Columbia, too. I got to watch it coming from your way, Connie, because they usually hit you before they come to us, or bypass us. Anyway, last night's storm was RIGHT over us_the weather radar showed ALL red over Columbia. I took Lexus for her last walk at about 7:30, and could feel the static in the air. I get like that when there is going to be a good CRASHER of a storm; anyone know why? It's really weird, because I can feel the hairs on my arms stand up. Mike said I definitely shouldn't be out in a storm like that; guess not, huh, I might be a target for a lightning strick! The night before (Saturday night) it was the same. Last night's was from 8:30 to 11:30, while Saturday night's was from Midnight until 3AM. So many of my neighbors, and my whole family, didn't know we had a storm, that night, until 2:30AM when the one BIG crash of thunder rumbled through. It shook the whole house, I believe. I don't sleep well, so I usually time these things, and though I know they are distructive, I love to watch the lightning and hear the thunder_have ever since I was very little. I even make sure all the lights are off, and turn down the TV, or turn it off completely, so I get the full effect of a storm. I've always thought they were exciting, but I DIDN'T like fireworks, not close up and personal_far away, okay, but not close :o) I was always afraid they would rain down hot on me, or head the wrong way and land on me before they exploded. Glad you're okay_so are we :o) I saw what my husband thinks are called Ball Lightning?, again. I put that question mark there :o) Anyway, I have to look it up at GOOGLE sometime. That makes three times I've seen it in the same area, through the trees of our neighbor's house across the street. It's bright/deep orange and red, and just shows for a second or so. I'll be meeting John & Joyce in ONE WEEK!!!! and still we haven't gotten together, Connie :o) LOL!!!! Someday, someday. :o) Lynn Connie wrote: > Lynn, a huge storm went through during the night, big time and the one > today missed us completely, so far.?
