Balsamic Chicken and Sausage Sauce

Maks had emailed me this recipe and I decided, it's time I owe her a meaty meal.

After work, we zoomed out to our softball game. Maks had a difficult position, she has been pitching for years, relocated onto third base for the game. She had pulled many muscles that she did not know to exist at her attempts to catch a flying ball or grounders. As for me, I ended only doing bat, no field,  I ended up in the dugout waiting for my turn to bat, only went twice, both times I hit and was able to achieve first base, but never went to second since we kept filling in all three outs before I was able to move to the next base.

Maks had filled in her quota of exercise at the game, so she was thrilled to get a filling meal once we got home.

One thing we were surprised at: the sausages were soft. I grew up with fried sausages with onion and green bell peppers in a gourmet bun, or fried chopped sausages in a spaghetti. This was completely a new area for both of us.

MEAT LOVER: Delicious!
GREENARIE: Odd. It's something to play around with.
