Cynthia's Corner: The Way to a Man's Heart...Baking!  Did I Mention I got a New Stove?

I started writing this column two other times, and both times, I could not finish what I was doing. I hated it. One column was whiny, and the other dull. So I let my deadline go by.

Besides, there were other things going on in my life. I got a new stove and a dishwasher. My DH had just opened up a second office, all his own, and that meant getting some furniture and office supplies and…did I mention I got a new stove? <GBG>

The oven on my old stove died months ago. Which was good for my diet – meaning no baking – but terrible for the "artistic" side of my life, creating new recipes, improving old ones or just baking for the sheer joy of it. And the oven is an extra-large one, so I can fit more in it!

Merrill (the "DH – darling husband – of the above paragraphs) walked into the living room the morning after the stove was delivered and set up, to find me nursing a second cup of coffee and going through a stack of computer print-outs which had to be a good inch to an inch and a half thick.

For the rest of the story and 9 great recipes for your oven, Go to Cynthia's Corner

Italian Sausage Po' Boy

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

Spicy Mustard Sauce:

6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Tabasco sauce or other hot sauce

Po' Boy:

4 (6-inch) sections French bread
4 links fresh hot Italian sausage
3 cups finely shredded cabbage or lettuce
12 to 15 dill pickle slices
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
1 large tomato, sliced (optional)

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

To make the sauce, combine the mustard, mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Add Tabasco to taste. Set aside.

Place sausage links in a heavy skillet. Add water to cover sausage and simmer until sausage is gray throughout (about 10 to 15 minutes). Warm the French bread in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Grill sausages for 15 minutes over medium heat, turning the links so they brown evenly.

Slice the bread in half lengthwise, and spread generously with mustard-mayonnaise sauce on both sides. On one side, heap the shredded cabbage and lay over it the pickle slices, onion, and tomato. Place split hot sausage on top and finish with other half of bread.
