Nancy
Mom's house in TN
This is a deck on Mom’s house that was built from August to October 2016. Tom was the main builder. Mom was the secondary. I was the chef! You do have to eat. Someone has to cook.
Here we go…
Tom on break up on the partially complete roof.
Tom said is was on break still.
Back to work. Upon finishing he had to get off of the roof by climbing through a window. The roof was really slippery.
The deck is complete!

3 cans of any type of red beans

2 lbs sausage.
Cook your onion in oil n butter for about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Cook for 15-20 minutes while you cook your Keilbasa or smoked sausage. Cook sausage until it Browns but no burns.
Add cooked sausage to bean mixture and cook for 5 more minutes on low while you set table.
