I bring this up now because I've just run across "I Want To See the Bright Lights Tonight (Santa Version)" by the inestimable Dar Williams. It is a worthy addition to the canon and probably the closest we'll ever get to an actual Richard Thompson holiday song.

For sure! And one could easily substitute Boca Crumbles or, say, ground turkey, though you'd really want to season it more aggressively in the latter case.

Do you cook the sausage first?
November 25, 2025 at 3:17 AM
True, but one sausage link is about 3 oz. and this recipe contains less than half that per serving, so not too unhealthy in the scheme of things.

As a Wisconsin fan, it always shocks me a little to see so many empty seats at a women's hockey game.

Why are you tying to cut off the Jimmy Durante estate's sole source of income?

Because whatever wingnut welfare gig you have lined up pays much better and requires only marginally more work

What right does a place called Sutton Hoo have to disparage any other name?

Great choice. RIP Mani.
