Pork glut: Day 1: Breakfast

Now I have a problem. A good problem, but a problem nonetheless. I have too many pork products in my refrigerator that I need to use up.

First there are the bacon and sausage I purchased earlier in the week -- only a half pound of each, but that apparently goes a long way. Then there are about four (BIG) pork ribs left over from last night. Holy god, that's like 5 lbs of pork (including bones) in my fridge, in various stages of decay. What am I going to do???

I started off this morning using a modest amount of sausage for a patty to go on a fried egg sandwich, using some leftover sourdough from last night.

And the leftovers don't end with the pork -- I still have 3 small zucchini from last week's farmers market to use, some leftover cesar dressing, a ton of risotto, and some of those rice and beans from earlier in the week (but I may have used enough of those to justify trashing at this point).

On the plus side, there probably won't be anymore "VEGETARIAN?" tags used for the next few days.
