Food odds and ends

[pantryslut]

1. Hard to believe, but I have some morels -- about half a pound -- leftover from last night's dinner. What shall I do with them? Hm...

2. I am having bean choice paralysis. My pantry is full of beans (insert joke here), and yet I just stare and stare.

3. Something strange happened to the loose breakfast sausage in the skillet this morning. It didn't brown. Instead, it seemed to steam until it turned dry and hard and unappetizing. Then, when we turned the heat off and let it cool down, it started to take a little color. Any idea what was going on?

I don't have anything constructive to add here, save, I am on the phone and in just scrolling and scanning my f list I could have sworn that said, "Hard to believe, but I have some morals, about half a pound."

Could the heat have been unusually low on the sausage?

Actually the opposite -- it was originally on the turbo burner.

Nothing of import to add. Except that I put a package of jelly beans on the same shelf as the rest of our beans, and it made me giggle.
