Fine Food for Entertaining the Neighbors

Our neighbors Lou and Pat are having their kitchen ripped out today to make way for fabulous granite countertops and a slate backsplash that I know I will covet, even though I know I’m not supposed to covet my neighbor’s stuff. Pat is always cooking and always sharing her food. (No wonder Truman begs to go next door almost every single day.)

So we decided to return the favor and invite them over to dinner tonight. I’m going to make Donald Link’s Old School Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya because it is just that good and because I think I can make it without screwing it up too badly.

My sister must have known I would be entertaining tonight because she sent me this Joel Stein piece in Time magazine about eating afterbirth. And to think I let the doctor toss away my placenta. Sigh.
