Well people are doing some pretty outlandish stuff out in the food world these days.  So the question is “How do I get in on the fun?”.  With that said, my audience (my family) is not exactly ready to step off the ledge for one of my creations (maybe Sam is and Nate has certainly been a good sport).  If I start with a grilled cheese, I have everyone in the family still with me.  If I make my Mac ‘N Smoked Cheese, I still have everyone with me but my wife and daughter will start to wonder and my daughter will need her lactose pill while my wife will be thinking, I need to try it to make him happy.    Then it hit me, why not add a polish sausage to the mix.  I am thinking I hit a home run.  This is worthy of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and only the men in my family.  Sam was out of town, so he will have to wait to try the next one but Nate and his finicky friend got to dig in.  The response was pretty favorable.  Did I mention, I sauteed the Polish in a skillet with onions and jalapenos?
