From Dirt to Dinner: SouthCoast Mom Makes Mystery Recipe

As many do this time of year, I've been spending lots of time in the yard. On a sunny day, you can find our family playing, planting and cleaning up for the season.

I have no idea how long the recipe was buried, nor do I know where it came from. It may have blown over from a neighbor's house or came with our wood delivery in the fall. Nevertheless, I was intrigued.

Covered in dirt, but still legible, I decided to make the mysterious hand-written recipe.

If you're making this recipe and think to yourself 'how much rice?' 'are we slicing the sausage first?' or 'how much ginger?', you're not alone. To those questions I say, I have no idea, I found this in the yard.

That being said, I'm now calling this "The Yard Dish" (though I think I actually make sausage curry) and let me tell you, it's delicious!
