Wednesday morning I got up “early” and drove Mom to work so we would have more cars available with our ever-more-full household. By the time I got home everyone was still asleep, of course, so I went to Shop’n’Save to buy spinach sausage loaf ingredients. I enjoy driving around the St. Peters area by myself, listening to music and thinking of my many, many memories of the town. I went to the Shop’n’Save near Jungermann because I know the layout better—or so I thought. It was redone enough that I still had to hunt around a bit. No big deal.
Not sure what I did during the afternoon, but that evening I made spinach sausage loaf of course! I make less loaves every year, partly due to budget constraints, and partially due to having less people to make loaves for, but either way 5 loaves this year was much easier than 15 loaves once upon a time. For the beginning I hung out with Sarah and talked and talked. It was great. Eddie joined us later, and David also came over. Given these are the three people outside my family I made loaves for, that worked out really well.
Every year I make spinach sausage loaf for my family and friends. Here they are enjoying the spoils.
Sarah had to leave for reasons I can’t remember, but Eddie and I hung out and chatted in the living room, joined periodically by different people around the house. Soon I needed to go pick up Mom from work, so Eddie left too.
It’s funny, I remember going to pick up Mom from work last time I was in town, in August. At that point 8:30p meant it was still light out, and plenty warm. One evening I was a little early and just parked and rolled down the windows and dozed, listening to the radio. Not so now. It had been dark for hours by the time I left, and was certainly too cold to roll down a window.
