Breakfast for Dinner


In continuing with my sausage experimenting, yesterday some friends and I made breakfast for dinner.  

So i tried my hand at making breakfast sausage.  This used about a cup of TVP, and a cup of water to reconstitute it.  Then i mixed in about a little less than a teaspoon of sage, a little more than a teaspoon of thyme, some red chili flakes, and a little bit of ground chilies.  Also salt and pepper, and some soy sauce.  

I originally made them into patties, using some egg and flour,  but, while the spices were quite good,  it just wasn't good enough to be eaten on its own, so i decided to break it up and fry it a little more and make sausage gravy.  

So for dinner, we had biscuits and sausage gravy, and scrambled eggs.  My friend Roselyn, however, did not get the memo that this was "breakfast for dinner", and instead thought that the theme was "things you put gravy on" So we also had mashed potatoes.  And yes,  she's mashing those potatoes with a pastry cutter.  

It ended up being a great meal for a lazy Sunday evening, even if perhaps it was a little high in starches, and a bit lacking in green things.
